John, I know you’re probably getting ready to celebrate the New Year. But I had to check in and ask if you’ve made your year-end donation to my re-election campaign yet. Here’s the best link to use if you haven’t yet: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cartwright-eoq42019 I can’t beli…

one final ask

Hi John – checking in quickly ahead of the New Year! We just ran the numbers and have another $3,492 to raise if we want to hit our 2019 goal – we’re so close! We’ve had to update the goal quite a few times throughout the year, John. Between the unprecedented amount of dark money fl…

Hi John – I know I’m not the only one in your inbox talking about “EOQ” and an “FEC deadline” right now. John, I want to make sure you know why this moment is so important – and then I hope you will consider a donation to Matt’s re-election campaign! SUPPORT MATT IN 2020! DONATE …

Fwd: have you seen this on your TV lately?

John – looping back here. One thing we forgot to mention about these ads? They’re ongoing. The right-wing American Action Network announced it is launching another $2.5 million in television and digital advertising in Democratic-held districts, including Matt’s. This is on top of th…

have you seen this on your TV lately?

Have you seen one of these odd sepia-toned ads on your TV or Facebook feed lately, John? These days, it seems like we can barely go a week without a national Republican group launching a new attack on Matt. To you, these may just seem like overdramatic partisan games. But to the GO…

That makes THREE Republicans fighting to take on Matt

John – coming to you with a quick update on the race here in PA-08. A new GOP challenger announced their candidacy the other week. This makes three declared candidates vying to take on Matt in November. Will you donate right now so we can raise enough to hold on to this seat and ma…

Fwd: Devastating news –

John, I hate to have to share this news but it’s too important. A nonpartisan election analyst took our race out of the “Democratic” column and moved it into the “toss-up” column. Matt’s re-election isn’t as safe as we thought it was. We’re moving urgently to protect this seat, but w…

Hi John, We’re approaching the most important deadline of this campaign so far. Here’s why this is a critical time to lend your support to Matt’s campaign: It’s the end of the year, so we have to ensure we hit our yearly goals in preparation for 2020. But it’s also the end of the fo…

We need to get big money out of politics

Hi John, It seems like we’ve sent you a never-ending stream of updates on all the dark money being spent in our district – and it’s not even 2020 yet. So we wanted to take a step back and explain why this is happening and what we can do about it. Many of the groups behind these ad …
