Everything you need to know about our opponent →

‌ ‌John, our far-right opponent, Stacy Garrity, is going to pour a lot of money into this race to try to redefine her record and mischaracterize what kind of leader she’ll be for Pennsylvania. So today, we thought we’d share with you who Stacy Garrity really is — and who she’s really going to fig…

No deadline. Same stakes.

‌ ‌John, I’ll be incredibly honest with you: we don’t have any fundraising deadlines coming up soon. If you want to keep track, our next major deadline isn’t for another 13 days. But that doesn’t change anything about the impact of your donation, John. I’ll tell you more in a second, and when I’m d…

One voter at a time

‌ ‌John — This is how we win a race in Pennsylvania: One voter at a time. One conversation at a time. One ad, one door knock, one text, one event, one person hearing the truth before the far-right gets the chance to define this race first. That may not sound flashy, but it’s the work. And it’s h…

Not in Pennsylvania

‌ ‌John, I don’t believe in “safe” races. Not in Pennsylvania. Not after Donald Trump won here in 2024. Not with National Republicans, outside groups, and far-right donors looking for any opportunity to take the governor’s office. Not when my opponent has made it clear she’ll put Dona…
