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

I asked 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.

But despite all that, this race is going to be close. Elections analysts have declared the Pennsylvania Governor’s race a Toss-Up — which means that having the resources to persuade and turn out every voter we can will make the difference in winning or losing.

I need your help to win this incredibly consequential race — and that means building up a war chest ready to defeat Mastriano. Can you split a donation between my campaign and Debbie Stabenow to help us kick off the general election?

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 for the people of Pennsylvania.

I need everyone to get off the sidelines and into the game. Right now, will you split $25 between my campaign and Debbie Stabenow to help defeat my extreme and dangerous opponent at the ballot box?

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
