John – I just left the stage after the first debate in the race for Pennsylvania's 8th District. I hope I made you proud tonight.

Tonight, I was able to share with voters firsthand my plans to continue delivering results for Northeastern Pennsylvanians. From lowering costs to expanding access to affordable health care, I'm ready to keep fighting for the issues that matter most to you in Congress.

On the other hand, my extreme opponent, Jim Bognet, proved why we can't afford to send him to Congress. Bognet will support Republicans' extreme agenda, which includes rolling back prescription drug reforms, cutting Medicare and Social Security, and blocking access to affordable health care.

Bognet's loyalty to their extreme agenda is why Republicans are spending millions to flip this seat red. They know defeating me is key to retaking the House majority. With election experts calling this race a "toss-up," I need your help to fight back.

Will you chip in $5 or more right away to help me defeat extreme Republican Jim Bognet so I can continue fighting for Northeastern Pennsylvanians in Congress? >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cartwright-october22
