John,

I’m gonna talk about growing up in Pennsylvania, but first, I have to ask: Can you chip in $10 to help fund our General Election campaign? I’m *so* grateful for your support (even if you think Wawa > Sheetz).🙄

Ok, now onto the good stuff.

I was born in Reading, Pennsylvania when my parents were just two teenagers starting out on their own. I love my parents, even if Gisele is their favorite.

We started out struggling. My dad was a union grocery worker at ShopRite, working night shifts. The union way of life helped keep our family together while he went to college. Dad ended up graduating, and got a good job as an underwriter.

After we moved, I grew up in suburban south central Pennsylvania. I graduated from Central York High School and went to college in Reading, just like my dad did.

When I left Pennsylvania for grad school, I *never* envisioned myself ending up in public service — not as Mayor of Braddock for 15 years, and certainly not as Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania.

But I came back to Pennsylvania because that's where my heart is. And alongside my amazing wife, Gisele, I have dedicated my life to improving our Commonwealth.

When Pennsylvania lawmakers pushed outdated, discriminatory policies banning marriage equality, I officiated one of the first gay marriages in Pennsylvania. 🌈

When Braddock was overlooked and counted out, we created jobs and got young people engaged. We created a community center, urban gardens, and a free store run by Gisele. ✊

And when the Pennsylvania GOP sent their flag police to take down my weed + pride flags, I put them back up. I’m just gonna keep doing that.✅

If that’s the kind of never-give-up attitude you want to see in the U.S. Senate, can you chip in $10 today? To be successful, we’re gonna need to build a huge campaign across all 67 Counties in Pennsylvania.

You may like Wawa more than Sheetz. You may say #FlyEaglesFly while I say #HereWeGo.

But help send me to the U.S. Senate and I’ll fight for *all* of youse, just like I’ve been fighting for Pennsylvania my whole life.

Thanks,

John

Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania
