Momentum

Hi John, The Seattle Times just published a piece on our race, and we just hit over 800,000 calls made to voters. We have incredible momentum; can you help us keep it up with a quick donation now? While Washington’s 6th District has been Democratic for over half a century and w…

Derek Kilmer is wrong

Hi John, Unlike Derek Kilmer, I actually oppose Trump. Can you give $3 now to help me win and fight the far right’s authoritarian agenda in Congress? While Kilmer voted to give Trump's secret police $50 billion, fund Trump's defense budget, extend the Patriot Act, and fund ICE …

Kilmer’s corporate cash is flooding this district

Hi John, My Democratic opponent Rep. Derek Kilmer has already spent $1.8 million trying to defeat me. Misleading ads… Misleading mailers… Misleading calls… I need your help now more than ever. Can you rush a $3 donation to help me counteract Kilmer’s onslaught of misleading…

Unbelievable.

Hi John, Unbelievable. My opponent Rep. Derek Kilmer signed a letter supporting Mitt Romney's TRUST Act, which would gut Social Security behind closed doors… ...and now the TRUST Act is part of the new relief bill that Congress is debating. Kilmer shouldn't have helped the TRU…

Interesting mailer from Kilmer

Hi John, My Democratic opponent Rep. Derek Kilmer sent out an interesting mailer recently. Can you help me counter it with my own ads by rushing a $3 donation now? It’s all about how he’s supposedly for universal health care, expanding Social Security, fighting big money in pol…

Against the odds

Hi John, My opponent Rep. Derek Kilmer has millions of dollars in corporate cash to throw at TV ads. But progressive challengers have won against the odds before. I’m letting Democratic voters know about Kilmer’s weaknesses and my strengths, so they see that this year they hav…

Kilmer’s nervous. He spent half a million on ads.

Hi John, My opponent Rep. Derek Kilmer spent over half a million dollars on ads and mailers… ...in the first two weeks of July alone. In the same two weeks in 2018, he spent nothing on ads or mailers. It’s obvious Kilmer is nervous. I don’t have half a million dollars, but I …

Hi John, [Note: voting ends in just 10 days, and I need to raise $12,971 this weekend to pay for voter contact. If you can, please donate $3 now and help me win. Thank you.] Federal agents in unmarked vans have been snatching protestors off the streets in Portland. Now the fed…

Can you help us win this race with only 11 days left?

Hi John, Thanks to you and my team, we’ve made amazing progress over the last year. Just this week, we hit over 600,000 calls made to voters in the district. For a grassroots congressional campaign, that’s an astonishing number. We regularly have 70+ phone bankers making calls …

Trump’s secret police

Hi John, Trump is sending his secret police to more Democratic cities to terrorize people. These DHS agents in unmarked vans are already kidnapping protestors off the streets in Portland. And while all this goes on, Democrats in Congress are debating MORE funding for DHS, as w…

The #1 way

Hi John, I got off an interview with Wake Up Bainbridge earlier, and wanted to share my answer to their question: what’s the #1 way you are different from the incumbent? My answer: Unlike Rep. Kilmer, I will never, EVER flip-flop on Social Security. I will never join with Repu…

“Look, sweetie...”

Hi John, I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten unsolicited feedback starting with words like these: “Look, sweetie…” This is usually followed by somebody telling me I should have started smaller. The reality is that we don’t have time for small thinking, and I’m not running…

Secret police. In America.

Hi John, In Portland, federal agents in unmarked vans are snatching protestors off the street without a word and taking them away for questioning. The protestors aren’t told why they’re being held or if they’re even under arrest. This is dangerous, secret-police behavior. Yet …

Wow! We’ve made 500,000 calls.

New video Hi John, Wow! As of yesterday, our campaign has made over 500,000 calls to voters in the 6th District. That kind of robust phone banking operation costs money, though. Yesterday alone our phone banking fees were $1,428.17. There are still 20 days until the last day of …

I’m on your side

Hi John, My campaign manager just placed an order for 50,000 mailers. The case the mailers make is simple: The question mark refers to Rep. Kilmer’s flip-flop on Social Security. He was the only Democrat in Washington state who joined Republicans in signing a letter calling …

I’ll NEVER side with Republicans over you

It’s not a lie

The Stranger: Rep. Derek Kilmer Misleads in Latest Ad

Hi John, Unlike my opponent Rep. Derek Kilmer, I haven’t taken over $3 million from corporate PACs, so I can’t throw money at what The Stranger newspaper calls misleading ads: A health care plan that would leave 10-15 million people uninsured is not good enough. That’s why I …
