Friend, before our public fundraising deadline hits tomorrow night, I wanted to share a little about why I entered this crowded race. 

I’m running for Governor of Maryland because I know that state government is meant to be a force for good in people’s lives. Public institutions have the power to transform and literally save lives – and I know that because public schools saved me after both my parents passed away when I was a kid.

Things like quality public transportation, stronger public schools, a living wage, and better support and access to capital for small businesses would make such a meaningful difference in lifting up those across the state who need a boost and benefit everyone in the process. As governor, I will never back down from doing what it takes to deliver on the promise of progress Marylanders deserve, and I’m counting on a people-powered movement to help me do it. 

With our fundraising deadline just 1 DAY away, I’m reaching out to humbly ask: will you please pitch in whatever you can to ensure we have the resources to fuel this movement?

I know a more just, prosperous future is possible for our state — one built on economic, racial, climate, and educational justice. And honestly, we don’t have the time to wait.

I know we can do what’s right for Maryland and build a more equitable future, but it’s going to take a massive grassroots effort fueled by supporters like you. If you’re with us, will you help fuel our campaign by contributing today?

I’m grateful for your support,

John King
