John,

Our race for governor is Democrats’ #1 opportunity to flip a governorship from red to blue this November, and a historic chance to make progress for the people of Maryland.

But I need a strong base of grassroots supporters like you pitching in when you can to fuel our campaign all the way to November 8. Can you chip in $10 or more today?

I’m running for people like my dad.

When I was three, my dad was feeling sick and went to the hospital.

But his face was unshaven, his clothes disheveled, his name unfamiliar, and his address not in an affluent area.

The hospital staff asked my mom if he was prone to exaggerations and sent him home.

And 24 hours later, unable to get the care he needed, he died of a completely treatable illness.

I’m running for people like my mom.

My mom did everything right.

Widowed as a young mother, she did everything she could to take care of my sisters and me.

But it wasn’t until I was 14 that she found a job that actually paid her benefits.

I’m running for our kids.

In Maryland, we have some of the best schools in the country — and some of the most underfunded.

I believe every kid should have the opportunity to succeed, no matter what circumstances they’re born into or zip code they live in.

John, this campaign is about people like you.

This campaign is about making sure that every family in Maryland has opportunity.

It’s also about fighting for our basic human rights and stopping a far-right extremist from moving us backward. Protecting abortion access, raising the minimum wage, safeguarding our democracy and right to vote, defending our LGBTQ community, stopping gun violence, acting on climate change, and so much more.

I know what we’re fighting for — who we’re fighting for — and this campaign is way too important to lose.

I’m counting on you. Please, will you contribute $10 (or whatever you can afford today) to help us expand our campaign, flip this governorship blue, and elect me to fight for you as Maryland’s next Governor?

Thanks for anything you can give to help us change the future of Maryland for the better, for all. Together, when we win, we will work to ensure that no one is left behind.

Elevate,

Wes
