John, it’s Josh Shapiro here — Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania Governor.

I asked Matt to reach out to you because Doug Mastriano — the most extreme candidate running for Governor in the country — just became the GOP nominee running against me in Pennsylvania.

Mastriano would ban abortion with no exceptions. He’d end no-excuse vote by mail, and rip away our freedoms. He participated in the insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. When police told him to stop, he defied them. He crossed their barricades.

If Mastriano wins the Governorship and Bognet wins in PA-08, the GOP takeover of our state would devastate our communities. Elections analysts have declared the Pennsylvania Governor’s race a Toss Up and the stakes could not be higher.

I need your help to win this incredibly consequential race — and that means building up a war chest ready to defeat Mastriano, Bognet, and extremists up and down the ballot. Can you donate now to help us kick off the general election and support both our campaigns?

So, with Pennsylvania sure to be one of the most hotly contested swing states in 2024, we know this race is going to be tough. But I know that together we can do great things and win this race and PA-08 for the people of Pennsylvania.

I need everyone to get off the sidelines and into the game. Right now, will you split $20 to help defeat my extreme and dangerous opponent at the ballot box and help Matt defeat Bognet once and for all?

I know this is big news, but we knew from the start this would be a challenging, competitive race. In fact, it’s probably the biggest fight I’ve taken on yet — but I won’t ever back down. I hope I can count on you to join me.

Thank you for being on this journey with me,

Josh Shapiro
Democratic nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania
