A month without Roe

  John — This is a longer email than usual, so I hope you have a few minutes to read it today. It has now been a month since the U.S. Supreme Court dragged the country backward by overturning Roe v. Wade, ripping reproductive health care away from millions of Americans. In just a m…

Oregon Governor Race Update

  Here’s a quick rundown of the Oregon Governor’s race, John. FIRST: Our opponent Betsy Johnson poured millions of dollars into TV ads trying to distract Oregonians from her out-of-touch, conservative voting record. THEN: The Republican Governors Association gave $250,000 to our ot…

BREAKING: Election experts downgraded our race

  John — Governors are the last line of defense for so much that we care about — from protecting reproductive freedom, to tackling homelessness and the housing crisis, to creating jobs with historic investments in clean energy projects, and so much more. That’s why we need to give …

Betsy on TV

  We’ve got some bad news, John. Tina’s conservative opponent Betsy Johnson just went live on TV with her newest ad. She is going to spend millions of dollars trying to convince viewers that she’s "independent," but the reality is much shadier. Betsy Johnson’s ad is currently airin…

Republicans are counting on you to sit out this November

  John, This year’s elections could determine the future of abortion rights, voting rights, and so much more in Oregon. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, our governor is the last line of defense. But historically, fewer voters turn out in midterm elections than…

the summer slump

  John, Lots of campaigns face a slow-down in fundraising over the summer, so much so that there’s a name for it — the “summer slump.” This is a big deal with a people-powered campaign like ours. We’re funded by grassroots supporters, and a lot of what we raise comes from emails ju…
