The glorification of violence

This is unacceptable. As you may have seen, Rep. Paul Gosar was formally censured by the House and removed from his two committee assignments after sharing a video glorifying violence against Democratic lawmakers. Now, my opponent, Teddy Daniels, is bragging about his ties with the…

These Democrats hold the key to protecting the House

Dr. Oz joins the race

You may have seen that last night on Fox News, celebrity pseudoscience advocate Dr. Oz announced that he’s running for Senate in Pennsylvania. It seems the floodgates are open for multi-millionaire celebrities to try to follow in the footsteps of Donald Trump, and Dr. Oz believes …

must read: finance update

Team Cartwright -- I have a quick update for you. We’ve raised $6,127 of the $7,000 we need by tonight at midnight. This goal directly relates to our ability to set the record straight when Matt’s opponents lie about his values or reach out to undecided voters. I thought I’d send a final update to…

Update on our fundraising

John, I’m reaching out because my team is starting to get worried about our ability to reach our end-of-month fundraising goal. While we started off strong, with all the bustle of the holiday season, it’s beginning to look like we may fall short of our end-of-month goal. I totally…

Our progress

We can’t win a race this competitive alone. In just the past month, Matt has helped pass not one but two groundbreaking pieces of legislation. First -- he was instrumental in passing the bipartisan infrastructure package that helped invest in communities like ours through good-payi…

Time really does fly

Whew. A part of me can’t believe it’s already the end of November 2021. It’s been such a busy year, and it feels much faster than 2020. We on Team Cartwright have kept up with all the year has thrown at us, rolling with the punches and supporting Matt as he produces real results f…

We don’t want to scale back

John -- Matt Cartwright is running in a frontline race against TWO extreme far-right opponents. If this seat flips, we could lose the entire House of Representatives. Do you want to keep the House blue and help Matt continue fighting for working families? Please chip in what you c…

Have you done your part?

It’s going to take every single democrat doing their part to keep the House blue in 2022. A recent estimate from the Cook Political Report shows that the GOP will gain at least 2 seats from redistricting alone, and likely more as the dust settles and maps are finalized. That could…
