Hi, it’s John Fetterman — Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania + Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.

You wanna talk about why American elections are so messed up, team? Let’s start with the number 29, because it tells you everything you need to know.

👉 The average donation to our campaign for U.S. Senate is $29.

In order to raise all the money it takes to win this race for you + me + PA, we’ve received a mind boggling 582,000 contributions. Now, you might be thinking: “Why the hell would John Fetterman need 582,000 $29 donations?”

Allow me to explain:

👉 A big super PAC called “Senate Leadership Fund” (name sounds really nice, huh?) booked $29 MILLION+ in TV and radio ads to attack me + boost Dr. Oz.

Team, the GOP is booking TV advertising attacks against Democrats like me and Susan Wild nationally. And as much as I hate to admit it, we know from experience that when super PACs beat people over the head with these stupid 30-second ads… they can drag you down in the polls.

So I’m emailing you today for something entirely predictable… $29. Because we need to ensure that Democrats like me and Susan Wild win in November. And, without a whole bunch of you, we aren’t going to be able to push back against this huge negative ad campaign.

So, can you make a $29 donation (or more or less, it really doesn’t matter) to me and Susan Wild? Seriously every dollar helps when you’re up against this kind of super PAC spending.

It shouldn’t be this way.

You shouldn’t have to be a gazillionaire like Dr. Oz to run for office.

You shouldn’t have super PACs spending $29 MILLION to try and sink Democrats like me and Susan Wild.

But, until we get to the Senate and fight for real campaign finance reform, this is the world we live in. And the only way I know how to beat the Big Money is by energizing as many of YOU as possible to chip in $29 at a time.

We’ve got 70 days left, and the attacks are going to get worse and worse from here on out. If you can, please make a $29 donation so that Susan Wild and I don’t fall behind on fundraising + so we can compete toe to toe with the giant super PACs.

Me + Gisele + our whole team are so grateful to each and every one of you. It’s because of all our grassroots donors and volunteers and supporters that we have a fighting chance to go up against all that big money and WIN.
