John, I’m so grateful that Josh Shapiro said I could reach out to you – because we both urgently need your help.

I defied the odds to defeat Sarah Palin in Alaska’s special election for Congress. I'm the first Alaska Native to represent Alaska in DC. And I’m the only Democrat to represent Alaska in the House in decades.

But we’re far from done: There’s another election coming up in November, and this rematch is for an entire term. To win in August already took every single dollar we had – and it was decided by just 5,291 votes.

The same shady millionaires and special interests that tried to keep me from winning last time are spending MILLIONS to hold me and Josh Shapiro back again in November – and without your help right now – their shady tactics could really work.

Josh Shapiro and I set a joint goal of raising $25,000 by midnight tonight to make sure we can keep up the fights we believe in and represent YOU. Will you split a donation between us right now to hit that goal and elect me and Josh Shapiro this November?

The big spenders trying to buy their way into Congressional power want you to think this election is all about them. But the truth is, John, it’s really about you.

Who do you want representing you? Who do you trust to raise the issues you care about? Who understands what your daily life is actually like, and will fight to make it better?

I’m the only candidate in my race who isn’t a multi-millionaire, and Josh has always stood up for Pennsylvanians against greedy corporations. We understand how hard you work for every dollar, and would never ask for your support if it weren’t absolutely crucial to electing a Congress that reflects – and truly represents – everyday families. 

So with time running out before our midnight deadline and every dollar accounted for against the special interest millionaires’ warchests, please: Will you split a donation between me and Josh Shapiro now to defeat our extremist opponents and win in November?

Let's do this,

Mary Peltola
