John -

Impulsive, emotional decisions are out of character for me.

I am the guy who had a four-year plan to get into Harvard even though my family was dirt poor.

So here is the truth about whether or not I am going to run against Senator Sinema:

Yes, I am thinking about it.

Yes, I have already been preparing for this possibility even before her party switch.

Yes, I believe that as a Marine, a Latino, and someone with a record of standing up for working people we can build a coalition that will win a 2-way race, 3-way race, 27-way race… doesn’t matter.

But what I need to know — more than ANYTHING else — is that the grassroots support is there. That’s the piece. If it’s there, this choice is easy.

So today, I am asking:

Please split a $25 contribution between Hard Reset and my campaign. We will put it right to work making sure we have the resources we need to defeat Senator Sinema from day one.


I’ll be watching the response to this email with interest. Because I cannot do it alone.
