We need to invest in child care and early education. Add your name if you agree:

  John, As a physician, I understand that children need a healthy start in life, which is why access to high-quality early childhood education and child care are so crucial. Unfortunately, we have a child care crisis in this country, both for the child care workforce and for famil…

  John, Val has a track record you rarely see in Washington: She’s a physician who brought her decades of experience and deep understanding of the difficulties patients face when it comes to accessing affordable, quality health care to the fight to reform our health care system, a…

Add your name: I support protecting and expanding Medicare and Social Security

  John, Our country’s seniors worked decades to earn a secure retirement — building our economy while supporting their families and communities at the same time. Right now, about 46 million retired Americans, often those living on fixed incomes, receive Social Security payments ea…

By midnight tonight

  Hi John — Madison here, Val’s Finance Director, reaching out one last time before our deadline tonight. Here’s the thing, John. Val’s the real deal. Her record of actually getting things done — for her patients and for her more than 850,000 constituents — is unique in politics t…

  John, we’ll start with the good news: CNN just ranked Pennsylvania as the seat most likely to flip partisan control AGAIN. Month after month, major news sources are confirming what we already knew. Pennsylvania is the best opportunity we have to flip a U.S. Senate seat and expan…

reaching out personally

  John, As a doctor working in operating rooms, you learn pretty quickly that there’s no BS’ing your way out of a problem — you have to diagnose it and work to solve it. As your next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, I’d do the same — get to work to solve hard problems, no BS. Now, …

big deal

  Did you hear the news, John? This is a huge deal. Democrats were only 1.5 points from flipping this seat blue in 2016 — and that was before President Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania last year. We know we can win this seat. But Senate Republicans have raised $51.2 million to try…

Call on the U.S. Senate to pass the PRO Act

  John, Unions helped build our country and our Commonwealth, and have been instrumental in establishing basic workplace protections nationwide. But today around the country, workers are under attack and unions are on the decline. And it stands to hurt our economy. That’s why Val …

  John — We’re so close to reaching our goal to bring in 5,000 grassroots contributions. But we only have a few hours left to make it happen. We set this goal after our new opponent jumped in because it’s so important to show that our campaign is building the momentum we’ll need t…

We can’t miss this opportunity.   John, Did you know that if elected, Val would be the first woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania? She’d also be the very first woman physician. We can’t afford to miss this opportunity to make history — especially when the Senate …

JUST IN: A new challenger is entering the race

  Here’s the deal, John: We just learned that a new opponent jumped into the race — an opponent who’s starting out with nearly $2 million in the bank. That means it’s more important than ever that we show there’s strong support standing behind Val and our campaign. We know that Va…

Lower prescription drug prices (petition)

  First, the good news, John: Major news sources are ranking our U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania a toss-up. That, on top of the fact that we came within 1.5 points of winning this seat the last time, means Val has a real shot at flipping this seat blue. With Democrats’ narrow Sen…
