A serious GOP candidate has entered the race

Hi John, we have yet another update on the race here in Pennsylvania’s 8th District – a new GOP challenger has announced his candidacy. Here’s the thing about the latest candidate: We’re expecting this news to activate National Republican dark money groups to start dropping cash int…

Another round of attacks incoming

Hi John – unfortunately, we’re writing to you once again about a fresh round of attacks on Matt. National Republicans have announced a new set of ads in swing states – and Pennsylvania is on their list. This comes on top of the money national groups have already spent in the 8th Dis…

Quick note about Syria

John, Last week, the United States pulled out of northern Syria as Turkey gears up for a new military offensive. The sudden withdrawal of U.S. troops is endangering our Kurdish allies and could enable a resurgence by the Islamic State. The United States has been in Syria since 2014 …

We’ve got to dramatically reduce prescription drug costs

John, In my district, there’s an issue that keeps coming up again and again: The high cost of prescription drug prices. Americans pay some of the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs – but it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why I’m supporting a new effort to allow …

checking in!

John, I want to thank everyone for their support last week. With the attack ads running fast and furious against Matt, this grassroots team stepped up and had our back! But the work is far from done. In fact, we’ve had to up our fundraising goals in the wake of these attacks. John, …

the honest truth

John, we’ve reached out multiple times this week about the attacks on Matt in the wake of his announcement of support for the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. We’re reaching out again because here’s the honest truth: We could lose this seat if we can’t raise what we need to fi…

what you need to know

Here's what you need to know: The GOP went live with ads attacking Matt for his support of the impeachment inquiry. Here's how you can help: Can you take action? These ads are running non-stop in Pennsylvania’s 8th District right now. Any amount you can pitch in ($10, $25, etc) help…

Being honest with you, John

Hi John -- the Republican attacks are coming from all sides. I upheld my constitutional oath I took as a member of Congress when I announced my support of an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. Now, Republicans are hitting back -- hard. They’ve already put millions of dollars int…

Ads attacking Matt are flooding the airwaves

John, After Matt made the difficult decision to take a stand for an impeachment inquiry, we knew the GOP would come after him. In fact, it took just a few days for a House Republican super PAC to launch an ad attacking Matt. And now, National Republicans are spending $10 million on …

Fwd: We need to ensure ALL Americans have clean air and water [signature needed]

John, did you see Matt’s note the other day? Matt has consistently fought efforts to repeal the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Power Plan, the Paris Climate Agreement, and more. He will continue doing everything he can to stop cuts from crucial environmental justice po…

Thank you

John, I cannot thank you enough for constantly showing our team that you believe in what we are fighting for. Completing this end of quarter push is a big part of the momentum to make sure that we fight all the way through 2020 to keep this seat blue. It’s clear that it's going to b…

Fwd: we need your help!

John, I wanted to forward along a quick note before the window to reach our online fundraising goal closes. We’re not aiming high just for the sake of it — we’re now just a few months out from 2020, and a big push to close this quarter will really help us build a strong campaign. Oct…

BREAKING: GOP super PAC attacking Matt

Update on Matt Cartwright’s race – please read

John, I’ve been keeping an eye on Matt Cartwright’s race out in PA-08 and here’s the lay of the land: There are already multiple Republicans vying for the GOP nomination. We know this seat will be a high priority for D.C. Republicans, so I have no doubt they’re ready to dump millio…

My plan to keep the House majority

John, wanted to introduce myself quickly. I’m the Chairwoman of the House Democrats’ re-election committee – that means it’s my job to ensure we keep the House majority! I’m writing to you today to ask if you could help make my job a little easier. I know we need Matt’s voice in Con…

Impeachment inquiry

John — It’s time for the House to open an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. This was not a decision I reached quickly or lightly. But all Americans, including the President, must adhere to the rule of law. The news this week that the President abused the power of his office,…

We need to ensure ALL Americans have clean air and water [signature needed]

John, a few people have asked me what the “FUDR” magnet on the back of my Jeep means. This is it: I am a proud “friend of the Upper Delaware River.” The other weekend, I started out in upper Wayne County, floating down from near Hancock, NY about 8 miles as we wetted our lines and …

The GOP isn’t happy I’m pursuing justice for crash victims

John, I wanted to tell you about an issue I’ve been working on in Congress. Our highways are becoming more crowded with tractor-trailers and big rigs are getting larger. As a result, injuries in truck crashes are becoming more serious and more frequent. I’m calling for an increase i…

Treating our military families this way is unacceptable!

John – have you seen the latest misguided and dangerous policy out of the Trump administration? The Trump administration is reverting billions of dollars from military construction projects to help build an unnecessary wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The U.S. Military Academy at …

In remembrance today

John, Eighteen years ago today, our nation faced perhaps our darkest hour. The attack on our soil on September 11, 2001 was a solemn day in our nation’s history that we must never forget. I want to take a moment today to honor those who lost their lives in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvani…

The opioid epidemic touches every community – including ours

John, The opioid epidemic is a national crisis that is touching families all across the country. Here in Northeastern Pennsylvania, we’re no strangers to this heartbreak. In 2017, our Commonwealth saw the third-highest rate of death due to drug overdose in the nation. Thousands and thousand…

A quick story about John O’Hara

John, it’s that time of year — students and teachers are headed back to school. When I was a senior in high school, one of my strongest subjects was English. For my senior English project, I chose to read all the major works of John O’Hara, a mid-20th century American fiction writer – my mot…

Sorry to interrupt your Saturday, John, so we will be quick: We’re about $1,700 short of where we need to be right now in order to stay on track for our fundraising goals. We’ve got just under 24 hours left to make up that margin, and I know a lot of folks are out on vacation right now. Hone…

They're watching us closely

John, For most campaigns, summer can be very rough for grassroots fundraising. The reasons why are simple: Families are out for vacation and we have months until the next election — it’s natural for folks to check out a bit at this time of year. But the work isn’t stopping, and we’ve got a v…

We don't want to fall behind. Can you help, John?

John, As you know, Matt has been under attack since day one by the GOP. Republicans know that our seat is one that they need to take back in 2020. We held this district in 2018 – but Trump (who carried our district by a handy margin) will be on the ballot in 2020, making this “toss-up” distr…
