John, it's Gov. Lujan Grisham here – I asked my friend Josh Shapiro if I could reach out to his top supporters at this critical moment.

The election is closer than we can imagine, and we've got to double down between now and November if we want to secure a win for Democrats across the country. And fierce gubernatorial races like ours are critical: The outcomes here could determine the future of our country and the policies we make, state by state.

Both this race in New Mexico and Josh's race in Pennsylvania are key to securing equality, justice, and progress for our democracy. We're both tirelessly committed to defending the rights of all – but we need the help of grassroots supporters like you to keep this momentum going.

Will you donate $5 right now to help both Josh and me surge ahead in our competitive races? Every donation will be split between Josh's team and my team to keep both Pennsylvania and New Mexico blue!

It really cannot be overstated how important these races are, John. We need to do everything we can to protect Josh's vital voice in Pennsylvania: He's taken on the tough fights to deliver for working families and hold special interests accountable.

Here in New Mexico, I've fought for abortion access for all and to reverse the worsening effects of the climate crisis on our earth. I want to keep fighting these fights, but neither Josh nor I will be able to without your grassroots support.

So please, will you split a donation between my campaign and Josh Shapiro's campaign in Pennsylvania to keep our momentum and keep these states blue come November?

Thanks for being on the side of democracy.

Michelle Lujan Grisham
