John, during the January 6th Committee’s hearings investigating the insurrection, we were reminded of how terrifying it was to watch a violent mob of insurrectionists incited by President Donald Trump storm the U.S. Capitol, assault hundreds of law enforcement officers, and attempt to overturn the result of our nation’s free, fair, and secure presidential election.

It is our shared responsibility as Americans to make sure nothing like it ever happens again. But while President Trump is no longer in office, the harsh reality is that his closest supporters and enablers are continuing their crusade against our democratic institutions.

There’s no state where the danger of Trump’s Big Lie has been felt more acutely than here in Pennsylvania. Within days of Pennsylvania’s election results being certified, top GOP lawmakers were already conspiring to throw out our state’s election results. Even still, over a year later, Republicans in Harrisburg are pursuing a sham “audit” of the results — even going so far as to subpoena the Social Security and driver’s license numbers of 9 million Pennsylvanians.

And now, a candidate who attended the insurrection is running against me in this race for Governor. Republican Doug Mastriano was there in D.C. on January 6th. He walked past police barricades with the mob and even paid thousands of dollars to bus people down to the U.S. Capitol.

But I went to court to stop Trump, Mastriano, and all the extremists from overturning our election — and I beat them in court, again and again. As your next Governor, I will continue to fight the Big Lie and stand up for our voting rights, our Constitution, and our democracy.

The attack we all witnessed last year makes it very clear that the people who incited, defended, and participated in these attacks on our democracy cannot be allowed to gain full control of our state’s government. But if we lose this election, that’s exactly what will happen — which is why we need your help today, John.

Will you please chip in $5, or whatever you can spare, to make sure we keep the Pennsylvania Governor’s office out of an insurrectionist’s hands? [[link removed]]

This will be one of the closest races in the country in November — and with our democracy continuing to come under attack, we can’t afford to let it slip away. But history is on our side, and I’m confident that if we fight with everything we’ve got, we will prevail.

Thank you,

Josh Shapiro
