Critical update about the state of our race

John, In this topsy-turvy world dominated by President Trump’s extreme behavior, Governors are the last line of defense for what we care about. When President Trump tried to unlawfully deploy the Oregon National Guard against us, I blocked him. When he tried to cut SNAP benefits for 750,000…

I’m not asking for money, just your opinion:

John, When I came back to Oregon after graduate school, I took a job at Oregon Food Bank. I was drawn to their mission to end hunger, not just feed people. It was a great fit for me and helped me to build my skills as an advocate for others. At the Capitol in Salem and across the state, I foug…

FWD: Today’s email is different

Hey John, it’s Tina. My team reached out to you earlier about our $50,000 fundraising goal, and I wanted to make sure you saw their message. Tonight’s deadline is one of our last monthly deadlines before the election, and it’s critical that we hit our goal and have the resources needed to stay co…

Today’s email is different

John, today, we’re not asking for $25, $50, or $100. We’re asking you to chip in just $5. Because we’re just a few hours away from our August fundraising deadline — and we have some news that makes that $5 really important: Christine Drazan is ahead in the polls. [[link removed]] Tina is the only …

the latest from ActBlue:

John, Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is in two days, and our team set an ambitious goal: $50,000 raised by Monday night. The honest truth? We’re not sure if we can get there. ActBlue donations have slowed since the weekend, and we need a boost to close the gap. Can we count on you to pitch …

Important decision

John, Governors are the last line of defense for so much that we care about — from protecting reproductive freedom and defending democracy, to helping working families and restoring health care access. [[link removed]] That’s why I want to remind you why I ran for Governor in the first place. …

3 quick questions

I know it's Sunday, so I promise to make this quick, John. I have three questions: → Is it important to you to help defeat extremist Christine Drazan — and if so, would pitching in $3 today be worth it? → Is it important to you to keep Trump’s disastrous agenda out of Oregon — and if so, wo…
