Outwork them

  Team, I will make this brief -- I need your help. We knew it wasn't going to be easy to win in November, and that was before the polls came out calling this race a toss-up and dark money super PACs backed our opposition. Now one of our opponents just launched a new wave of TV ads, bea…

Uh-oh

Hey there, Republicans just did what some reporters called unthinkable: they flipped a swing House seat in California. Republicans haven't picked up a congressional seat in California since 1998, so I'll be frank: I'm worried. This is a huge warning sign for Democrats in swing districts …

The Monmouth Poll scared us too, team

This is alarming, team. Republicans are leading the polls in New Jersey swing districts like ours. The Cook Political Report called our own race a "tossup" and the Monmouth University Polling Institute has declared that the path to victory for Democrats like Andy will be tough. Washingto…

What we did three years ago

  Team, Three years ago this week, many of us met for the first time outside of a town hall in Willingboro. Andy had just days earlier announced his decision to run for office, and he stood alongside hundreds of concerned citizens who showed up to a town hall and demanded answers for his…

I thought I knew why my mother was crying; I was wrong

  Hello -- Last year, as I stood on the floor of the House being sworn into office, I looked up and saw my mother wiping away tears. I was surprised to learn why. You see, my mother grew up the child of a single mother in a poor farm family in a part of South Korea devastated by the war…

Another super PAC just spent six figures to beat Andy

Team, We just learned that another Republican super PAC has spent six figures in their quest to defeat Andy and this team, and this is likely only the beginning. Last month's Monmouth Poll showed that this race could be incredibly close, and every dollar invested will have an impact. It'…

Tell Betsy DeVos to stop attacking teachers

NYT: "The Paramedics Couldn't Find Lysol. They Turned to Their Congressman."

  Team, When there's a problem to solve, Andy gets to work solving it. When the director of emergency management in Toms River, New Jersey couldn't find Lysol for paramedic teams, he reached out to Andy. Two days later, Andy called him back to say he'd found 78 cans at a Walmart in Penn…

Our final ask

Team, We're just a few short hours from our end-of-month deadline -- and we're still thousands of dollars short of our goal. Even in the middle of this crisis, the opposition hasn't slowed down. They know this is one of the most competitive districts in the country, so they're spending m…
