Hey John, it’s John.

I want to take a moment to step back, pause, and remind you (and myself)
of why I’m running for U.S. Senate.

I know, I know — I probably sound crazy saying that I want to take a
moment to pause when we are literally *three days away* from our primary
election. But I think it’s really important that we get to the core of who
I am + what this campaign is all about.

Vote efforts leading up to Tuesday’s election, I won’t complain.)

We both know I don’t look like a typical politician. Maybe that’s why my
tattoos are *literally* the first thing people Google about me.

Well enough Googling. Today I’ll tell you about my tattoos
myself, John.

On my left arm I have the zip code 15104. That’s Braddock, Pennsylvania,
my home and the community I was honored to serve as mayor for 15 years.
Gisele and I are raising our kids here in Braddock, right across the
street from Andrew Carnegie’s first steel mill.

On my right arm I have nine different dates. These are the dates when
people were killed through violence in Braddock while I served as Mayor,
starting in 2006. Seven out of nine were gun deaths. I actually have to
get one more date added because in June of 2018, there was another tragic
loss of life. My heart breaks everytime I’m reminded of that.

My first tattoo came after January 16, 2006. It was my second week on the
job as mayor after winning my election by a single vote. I received a call
and was summoned to a police crime scene where a pizza delivery man had
been robbed and killed by gun violence.

Every time Braddock lost someone was the worst feeling in the
world, John.

In a close-knit community like Braddock, it’s very likely that you know
the victim and their family. It’s an incredibly wrenching and personal
experience as a mayor — but nothing compared to what the families have to
go through.

In my 13 years as mayor, I worked with the community to take on gun
violence and other important issues that Braddock faced every day. I
helped initiate youth + art programs for the students of our community and
we worked together to create a community center.

We also worked to develop buildings that had been written off,
kick-started our economy, and reduced deadly violence. My proudest moment
as mayor of Braddock is when our community went 5 ½ years without the loss
of life due to gun violence.

John, I’m
running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania because I believe *every*
place is worth fighting for. Just like Braddock.

It is my promise to you that I'll fight for you + your community as if it
were my very own.

That promise is written on my arms. Literally. ❤️

In order to build the kind of Democratic U.S. Senate campaign that can
flip Pennsylvania blue + fight for every community, however, the honest
truth is that we need to raise a lot of money right now. A big part of
that is online activists like you chipping in when you can.

And with our primary election coming up on Tuesday, May 17, the team and I
could *really* use everyone’s help right now.

So, I gotta ask:

[ [link removed] ]Will you please chip in $5 or more to our campaign right
now, John? Every dollar will
help us win this primary, win in November, and send me to the U.S. Senate
where I’ll fight like hell for your community just like I fight for mine.

Thanks for all you do. Together, I *know* we can win this.

Three days left, let’s gooooo. 🔥
