Friends -

Last night was a big night in Pennsylvania.

My friend and fellow Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman won the Democratic Senate primary, which means he is now officially the nominee to flip Pennsylvania's Senate seat from red to blue.

Let me be as direct as I can be:

John and I are the two votes needed to end the filibuster in the Senate so that we can pass meaningful legislation on so many of the issues we all care about. And the races we are running in are two of the best pick-up opportunities for Democrats — they’re the ONLY TWO GOP-held seats in states that Joe Biden won in 2020.

But the ONLY way he and I will have the resources to win our respective races is if lots of people contribute what they can. And now that John is the Democratic nominee in Pennsylvania, there's never been a more important time to show your support.

So today, I need to ask:

Can you split a $3 contribution between my campaign and John Fetterman's campaign today? Your donation will go directly toward flipping Wisconsin and Pennsylvania's Senate seats and defending the Democratic majority.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will automatically be evenly split between Mandela Barnes and John Fetterman:

Or donate another amount

Besides the both of us being Lieutenant Governors, John and I share quite a bit in common.

We both support codifying Roe v. Wade into law to protect abortion rights.

We both support legalizing marijuana and reforming our broken criminal justice system.

We both support the right of workers to form a union and demand fair pay and dignity on the job.

We both support taking urgent and immediate action to address the climate crisis.

We both support health care as a basic human right that must be guaranteed for all.

We both support protecting voting rights so that all eligible voters can participate in our democracy.

And now, we are both running for Senate in races that will decide whether Democrats continue to hold the majority.

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are the best opportunities to flip Republican-held seats. But whether or not we're able to win will come down to people like you.

So I'm asking one more time:

Please split a $3 contribution between my campaign in Wisconsin and John Fetterman's campaign in Pennsylvania. Together we can defend the Democratic Senate majority.

Our campaigns are about expanding opportunity to everyone in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and across the country, regardless of where they live or where they were born.

Your contribution today will not only ensure that we win these Senate races for Democrats — it will also allow us to create the change our country desperately needs at this moment.

All my best,

Mandela Barnes
