$20 for the last 3 days

Why I'm asking   John,  One of the reasons this race is so close is because of you and your support. Thank you.  We are about to beat one of the most dangerous and disloyal Attorneys General in the country - and that's more important than ever because our healthcare is on the line. In a matter o…

What $30 can do

The debate just wrapped up   John,  I just finished the one and only debate in this election.  Patrick Morrisey has lied for years about his role in actively working to eliminate healthcare for hundreds of thousands of West Virginians. But today, during this debate, I called him out on his deadl…

Debate tomorrow: Petsonk vs. Morrisey

I have two asks of you, John   John,  We're at a critical moment in this race. If you've been following this campaign, then you know just how close we are to winning. We are in the final stretch of this election - just one week left, so we need to finish strong.  West Virginians will get the cha…

Asking for $30

We're gearing up for this week's debate   John,  We have eight days until election day and Patrick Morrisey is placing more ads on TV to spread lies about Sam. Today, we are raising money to push back against those lies through our digital response program.  Can you donate $30.00 now and help us…

Which side are you on?

Are you with Sam?   John,  West Virginia has a choice to make - a choice between two paths.  Patrick's path: a widening gap n the quality of life where politicians prioritize the wealthy and corporations over working West Virginians. Where WV does not invest in schools, and lets corporations po…

If Sam wins on November 3rd

There is too much at stake to sit this one out.   John,  Make no mistake! The healthcare of hundreds of thousands of West Virginians is on the ballot, as Patrick Morrisey will be in court November 10th trying to directly eliminate health insurance for two hundred thousand West Virginians, and t…

Tonight's Deadline

Throughout this race, we’ve always been transparent.   John,  We close the books tonight on our final deadline of the election. Just 16 days left to go until election night! If we can reach those final undecided voters, we will win on election night.  We have gained ground even in the face of …

In case you missed it   We wanted to make sure you had a chance to see the email Sam sent yesterday, John. In two weeks, early voting begins on October 21st, and runs through the 31st. We know that Patrick Morrisey is one of the most dangerous Attorney Generals in the country. One in ten West V…

Sam's newest huge endorsement!

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin knows Patrick Morrisey   John, Few people know more about how dangerous Patrick Morrisey really is than U.S. Senator Joe Manchin. In 2018, Senator Manchin revealed Morrisey’s true nature. That year, the Mountain State rejected Morrisey because we could not support someon…

Morrisey’s corporate backers just placed an ad buy   John, Patrick Morrisey’s corporate backers just dropped a whopping $361,101 on TV ads – and we already know – these ads are going to be nothing but lies and smears against Sam. We also know these attacks are largely a waste of money, sadly, f…

Do you have $25 for tonight’s deadline, John?

We're still short.   John–  In just a few hours, we are going to close the books on the final end of quarter report for this general election. Here’s the truth: We are still short of hitting the goals that will allow us to overtake Morrisey in November. But all the evidence and polling indicat…

The sun doesn’t always shine in West Virginia

We have four hours to raise $1,558   John–    "The sun does not always shine in West Virginia, but the people always do.” That’s what President Kennedy had to say about West Virginia in 1963 and those words still ring true today. We know that your inbox is flooded today with so many emails fro…

I’m asking 20 people to donate $100

We are only $2,000 away from our goal   John –  No one can take on Patrick Morrisey and his millionaire backers alone---at least not this old banjo pickin black lung lawyer in Beckley. And that’s because Morrisey's out-of-state supporters continue to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars into th…

Ousting Morrisey is an urgent need.

We need your help to keep us on track to win.   Dear John, Things in Washington are spiraling out of control. Our country has never been more divided. But in West Virginia, we are on the cusp of electing an Attorney General who we know will fight for us. Can you pitch in today to ensure we win? …

Big money is losing ground to West Virginians

  Dear John, Your support is pouring in statewide and nationwide in support of Sam's campaign. West Virginia has a real shot to elect a real People's Lawyer as Attorney General with Sam. But in order to do that, we must have the resources to sustain our message against Patrick Morrisey and his …

Why this deadline matters

  John: So much is at stake with the November 3rd election. West Virginia’s overdose rate is skyrocketing. One out of ten West Viriginians will lose our healthcare in a heartbeat if Morrisey wins. Due to hard effort and investment over the past 14 months, we are marching the last leg of a clear…

We’ll meet our goal because of you!

  When we started this campaign in June 2019, my greatest concern was that I would be doing this alone – that maybe the people of West Virginia were okay with Patrick Morrisey and his attempt to rob us of our healthcare. We had no money, no big staff – just a couple West Virginians and a banjo …

We are at a crossroads

Dear John,  After a year of historic turmoil, the past two days have injected a new dose of discord with the tragic passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We face innumerable big questions. Will the Court blow up our federal health system, like Morrisey has asked them to do? Or will West Vir…

#MorriseyMustGo

Everything you should know about Labor Day
