Thanks, john

  john — I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thanks to your incredible support, we hit our fundraising goal. I’m inspired by what we’ve already accomplished together, but now we must turn forward. This month the Supreme Court’s illegitimate right-wing majority is poised to ove…

Here’s the situation

  The situation: Tomorrow is our May end-of-month deadline, and right now, we’re about $5,000 short of where we need to be to hit our goals. Why this matters: Tina is fighting day in and day out for the solutions that we desperately need to address gun violence, abortion rights, and r…

everyone loves an underdog

  john — Tim Ryan here. We’re coming up on our campaign’s first monthly fundraising deadline of the general election, which is as exciting as it is terrifying. Let me explain. We’re less than 6 months from Election Day, which means we’re that much closer to finally breaking through th…

Fighting for our freedom

  john — When I became a Senator, I made a pledge to uphold our freedoms. Today I’m coming to you to humbly ask you to help deliver freedom from fear. Children and teachers deserve to live their lives with freedom from fear that a gunman could come into their classrooms at any minute.…

Our official GOP opponent

  john, this is important: Herschel Walker (R) is now officially the GOP nominee for Senate here in Georgia, meaning he and I will be facing off this November. With the entire GOP establishment behind Walker, keeping this seat and the Senate blue will come down to your grassroots supp…

This is a problem

  john – I've been in touch with Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan's campaign, and I just got word that they're still trailing their goal heading into Tuesday’s public fundraising deadline. That's a problem. After tomorrow night, Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan's latest …

Uvalde, TX

  john, It’s hard to come up with the words to explain the devastation from yet another school shooting, this time at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. They were 19 babies. They were just starting their lives. No parent should have to deal with that horror. And while we search fo…

We can’t let a party who traffics in racist lies take control

  john, The GOP has stooped to a new low. After the heinous terrorist attacks in Buffalo, many rightly called out the racist ideology that the shooter allegedly wrote drove him to go on a murderous rampage that left 10 dead. But Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking Republican in the Hous…

Will you become a General Election Founding Donor to flip North Carolina?

  john - I’m honored to officially be North Carolina Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate. This moment could not have happened without the support of tens of thousands of people like you. It’s humbling. But the truth is, it is only going to get harder from here. There is a lot of work a…

Once again, a community devastated.

I’m officially the Democratic nominee in Pennsylvania

  I am so deeply honored, john. Yesterday, Pennsylvania voters made me the next Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate for Pennsylvania! And trust me, I do NOT take being the *official* Democratic candidate for the #1 Most Likely to Flip a U.S. Senate seat in the country for granted. Nor …

It’s not about red vs. blue

  john, This year's elections are bigger than blue vs. red. They’re about progress vs. turning back the clock on our fundamental rights. They’re about stopping inflation and making the 1% pay their fair share vs. raising taxes on working families. They’re about protecting trans kids v…

An enormous step backwards

  john, If this draft Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe is true, it’s an enormous step backwards for our country. Arizonans have the right to make their own decisions about abortion and when to start a family. Today, Roe v. Wade is the law of the land and I’ll do everything I can…

Senate Republicans new announcement:

Protecting abortion rights in Minnesota

  john — If Roe is overturned, we must use every line of defense we can to protect the fundamental right to an abortion. That means not only voting to protect and expand our Senate majority, but also supporting strong pro-choice governors wherever we can. My governor, Tim Walz, has be…

Your input is crucial right now

The path forward

re: Roe

Don’t let Mitch McConnell hold our country back from its promise

Mitch McConnell’s massive investment

  Hi john, We’ve beaten back Republicans’ dark-money attacks before, but we’ve never faced anything quite like this. The GOP is spending more than ever — $141 million just to start — to take our Senate majority, so I’m raising our April fundraising goal to fight back. Can you chip in…
