John, I know Pennsylvania — and I know the challenges that Pennsylvanians are facing right now.

I grew up here in Montgomery County, watching my parents serve our community — my father as a pediatrician, and my mother as an educator. In ninth grade, I met my future wife, Lori — and we’ve been together ever since.

I wanted my kids to have the same kind of experience I did and I wanted them to love Pennsylvania like I do — so once Lori and I welcomed our first child, we moved back to my hometown.

Pennsylvania is a special place, full of people who just want to support their families, feel safe in their communities, be paid a living wage, and provide a better life for their children.

That’s the Pennsylvania I know — and the Pennsylvanians I grew up with and continue to see on the campaign trail. Those are the people I’m fighting for. Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth who’ve gotten screwed over by corporations and who just want to get ahead.

I love Pennsylvania — it’s my home. That’s why I’ve spent my entire life working to make it better for everyone living here. I’m running for Governor to represent Pennsylvanians and take on the big fights for them.

But running in a race this competitive is no easy task — that’s why I’m coming to you to ask for your support before the general election starts. Can you chip in $5 to my campaign now?

Thanks so much,

Josh Shapiro
