Can we send you a sticker?

  John, Now more than ever, we need to protect reproductive rights. And by now the actions of members of the Supreme Court have made it crystal clear — the future of Roe v. Wade is in jeopardy. We need a staunch defender of reproductive rights in the U.S. Senate. As a physician fo…

Our Fight for Reproductive Freedom

  John, Across the country, people are speaking out for reproductive freedom in the wake of Texas’ six-week ban on nearly all abortions. It’s one of the darkest moments for reproductive rights in decades. In the past few weeks, I’ve heard from people across our Commonwealth about …

Josh Hawley just endorsed one of our GOP opponents

  Breaking news, John: Republican Senator Josh Hawley, an election denier who played a role in the January 6th insurrection, just endorsed our GOP opponent Sean Parnell. Hawley and Parnell have a lot in common. Both denied President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2022 election, with P…

Hurdles

  John, Time and time again, Val has made a real difference — advocating for patients in the operating room and on the labor and delivery floor as a physician, and for the more than 850,000 Pennsylvanians she serves as chair of Pennsylvania's third-largest county. Now, she’s runni…

midnight deadline

  John, we’re facing a huge public filing deadline at midnight tonight, and right now, we’re still $11,299 short of our fundraising target. Before I ask you to help close the gap by chipping in toward our $100,000 goal, I want to share why this deadline matters so much in our race…

FWD: Not a drill.

  John, I’m reaching out to make sure you saw Val’s email from earlier today. She’s the best candidate in this race to protect and expand reproductive rights, but she’s counting on your support to take up that fight in the U.S. Senate. And as campaign manager, I can tell you first…

This is a longer email about why your donation is so important right now. I hope you’ll read it:

  John, Tomorrow marks a major end-of-quarter deadline, so it’s probably no surprise that I’m going to ask you to chip in whatever you can to help meet our goal. But first, I owe you an explanation on why donating to our campaign at this crucial moment in our country’s history mat…

Sounding the alarms for reproductive rights

  John, reproductive rights are under attack in our country. We should be sounding every single alarm bell. Texas has banned most abortions after six weeks, and abortion-inducing drugs after seven weeks, and other states are ready to follow suit. The conservative-stacked Supreme C…

We won’t mince words

  John, we won’t mince words: Our end-of-quarter deadline is just two days away, and here’s the bad news — we’re still $21,583 from hitting our quarterly goal. We know Val has what it takes to deliver lasting results in the U.S. Senate, from creating good-paying union jobs, to pr…

It’s all on the line

  John, here’s what’s at stake if we don’t send Val to the U.S. Senate: Abortion rights and reproductive justice at large — the Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade in a matter of months, and we need a strong leader and experienced physician like Val to lead the push to enshr…

last line of defense

The future of Roe v. Wade depends on what we do now.   John, Democrats’ Senate majority is the last line of defense for abortion rights. Period. The Supreme Court refused to follow decades of precedent when it allowed Texas’ ban on most abortions to go into effect, so it is clear t…

We need your help to defeat anti-choice Republicans

asking you, John
