A shocking headline from the Philadelphia Inquirer

Republicans are refusing to answer easy questions.   John — Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate candidates are election-denying cowards. On the eve of January 6th, the Philadelphia Inquirer reached out to the top five Republican candidates, asking whether they would’ve thrown out Pen…

January 6, 2021

We cannot take our democracy for granted.   John, One year ago today, an angry mob of election deniers attacked the U.S. Capitol, incited in large part by a president who refused to concede a free and fair election. My heart goes out to those who were injured and lost their lives a…

1 percent

  John — We have an important choice to make in the coming months: On one hand, there’s Dr. Oz who has pushed unproven COVID cures on national news and served as a top advisor for Donald Trump. On the other, there’s Dr. Val Arkoosh, who’s dedicated her career to getting things d…

Hoping to hear from John:

We’re entering a new phase of the campaign, and we’d love your feedback.   John — From the very beginning, this campaign has always been about putting Pennsylvanians and their families first. We’re now officially in 2022 — time for midterm elections — and the stakes couldn’t be hig…

The year ahead

  John, 2021 was a tough year for so many. We saw another full year of the COVID-19 pandemic – and in the last months of the year, we saw hospitalization surge and a real strain on workers on the frontlines. We also saw extreme weather and climate change ravage communities, includ…

This is a make-or-break deadline.   John, this is the last time we’re reaching out ahead of our end-of-year deadline, and with so much at stake in the year ahead, it’s so important we don’t fall even a penny short of our goal. Here’s what’s at stake — especially as we look to make …

This will be quick

  John — I know it’s New Year's Eve, so I’ll make this quick: Val is the only doctor in this race who will put people over profits, and she’s ready to go toe-to-toe with former Trump advisor Dr. Oz and anti-science Republicans in the U.S. Senate. But Senate Republicans have millio…

  John, here’s the deal: In just a few hours we are up against our final fundraising deadline of the year and the clock is ticking to make sure we can hit our goal before then. Val is the best candidate to defeat GOP candidate Dr. Oz, flip Pennsylvania’s Senate seat, and deliver l…

  Hey there John — This is Tiernan, Val’s campaign manager. I promise I’ll keep this quick but I wanted to reach out while there is still time left. We are less than 36 hours until our final deadline of the year, and we’ve been crunching the numbers. If we get 21 more supporters f…

putting Dr. Oz under a microscope 🔬

What you see might surprise you.   John — Dr. Oz is running on his medical credentials, but when you put his career under the microscope, you may discover something less than prestigious. He’s profited off of pushing bogus diet pills – something he was called before the U.S. Senate…

Oprah is right

The choice is crystal clear.   John — in the month since he launched his campaign for the U.S. Senate, Dr. Oz has offered a lot of interesting claims, but it’s what someone else is saying about his campaign that we think says a lot about his candidacy. When asked about Dr. Oz, Opra…

Mitch McConnell’s New Year’s resolution

  John, with a new year approaching a lot of people may be thinking about a resolution for 2022. Well we know what Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are thinking – take back the U.S. Senate in 2022. They would love nothing more than to take back the Senate majority so they ca…

re: our Senate majority

  John — We have our work cut out for us. Pennsylvania’s Senate seat is currently ranked as a toss-up — and it’s widely considered Democrats’ best opportunity to pick up a Senate seat in the midterm elections next year. But Republicans won’t back down easily. In fact, nearly $7 mi…

  John, we’ve been talking about Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban for a few months now — but if you haven’t heard one of the state’s key arguments for overturning Roe v. Wade, listen to this: Mississippi’s Attorney General told the Supreme Court that banning abortions would “emp…

Dr. Oz is spending big
