Lying about Matt during a crisis

Do National Republicans have no shame, John? In the midst of the current public health crisis, not only have Republicans attacked Matt Cartwright for demanding answers in Congress, but a powerhouse GOP group also launched a brand new website 100% devoted to spreading lies about Mat…

RE: keeping water clean

Hi John -- I just wanted to make sure you saw this email (below). Matt knows how important it is to keep our drinking water clean, which is why we are fighting a recent EPA decision to allow pollutants to be dumped into small bodies of water like estuaries and wetlands without gover…

John, Trump confirmed it

PA-08 is clearly going to be a key battleground for control of the House and the White House... John, When President Trump announced he was coming to Scranton, we said it was proof that he knew his path to re-election and taking back the House of Representatives ran through Northeas…

Winning big in 2020 means re-electing Matt

Protecting Matt’s record from Fox News

why Trump is coming to Scranton

Help us get ready for Trump’s visit — John — Donald Trump could’ve chosen to hold his first town hall of the 2020 campaign ANYWHERE in the United States, but he chose to hold it in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Why? Because National Republicans know how important PA-08 is to determining c…

I’ll tell you what I’m nervous about, John. I’m nervous that people won’t believe how much danger Matt’s seat is in until it’s too late. I’m nervous that people will just look back to Matt’s past wins and record as a champion for the folks of PA-08, and figure that he can pull it …
