One Big Ugly Bill

Extreme House Republicans just approved the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund tax breaks for their billionaire donors. John, extreme House Republicans just approved the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund tax breaks f…

Thank you, John

John, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being a part of my work to defend our freedoms and our democracy from Donald Trump and his MAGA extremism. I am in a tough fight for reelection with National Republicans spending millions to defeat me. But your support towards my crucial …

Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene are targeting me.

John, Donald Trump just gave his full support to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s proposal to redistrict every single state. This proposal is a blatant attempt to steal more power for Republicans and silence the will of the voters. But I’m not standing by and letting this happen. My Democratic coll…

I won’t lie

John, Sometimes, fundraising emails can get a bit over the top. They’ll make you feel like if you don’t donate, the world will end or something. But I won’t lie to you: the sky isn’t falling — but my team and I ARE pacing behind our crucial end-of-quarter deadline with just hours to go. W…

Republicans are spending millions on attack ads against me

John, can I get serious? I need to show you something really quickly. Take a look at this race's ad spending: Republicans are outspending us on the airwaves and flooding Ohio with ads attacking our campaign. This is bad news – so we’re fighting back. We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goa…

Emilia Sykes needs your help

Quick update on where Emilia Sykes stands ahead of their end-of-quarter deadline Here’s where we stand, John. First: Last November, we flipped TEN Republican-held seats and came within striking distance of taking back the House. Then: Trump’s billionaire donors dropped $4 million in 1 NIGH…

Will you become a citizen co-sponsor of my bill, John?

John, Americans deserve to have access to quality mental healthcare. That’s why I introduced the Mental Health Improvement Act that, if passed, would increase much-needed funding towards our life-saving behavioral health workforce program. The demand for behavioral health services has only …

I won’t let Republicans ban abortion in Ohio

John, This news is horrifying for Ohioans: In 2024, Ohio voters spoke up and voted to enshrine reproductive freedom in our state Constitution. But now, extremist politicians are trying to subvert the will of voters and strip away the right completely. They want to overturn all access to a…

One of the closest House races in America

Emilia Sykes is defending one of just a handful of true toss-ups. John, The path to a Democratic House runs straight through Ohio’s 13th District. Emilia Sykes is a rising star who flipped a Republican seat in 2024 by just 2.2%. Now, her Trump-backed opponent is running again, and the nat…

The meaning of Juneteenth

John, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States on June 19th, 1865, when the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced nationwide. Today, I’m honoring the lesson that this momentous day teaches: freedom must be fought for, protected, and expanded at every turn. Though 160…

We only won by 8,542 votes

That’s exactly how many votes we could lose if we get complacent. John, We knew this would happen. Kevin Coughlin – a Trump-endorsed, far-right extremist – is running again to try and take OH-13 back. Last time, we won by just 2.2%. That’s 8,542 votes. In a district this close, a few thous…

The NRCC is targeting me

The NRCC just launched paid attack ads against me, John. Can you chip in $10 to help me fight back? Trump and the GOP are pushing one of the most obscene bills I’ve ever seen. If passed it would cut funding for vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP — all to line the pockets of the wealthy a…

The MAGA movement is targeting Emilia Sykes

We need to show them this seat isn’t up for grabs. John, Kevin Coughlin is exactly the kind of Republican Donald Trump wants in Congress. Obedient, extreme, and dangerous. He was endorsed by Trump last cycle, and now he’s back for a rematch against Rep. Emilia Sykes – one of the most eff…

Trump knows he's going to devastate Americans – and he doesn't care

That's not a typo, John. Ohio would be one of the hardest hit states if Trump's big, terrible, ugly budget passes. It narrowly passed the House and is now heading to the Senate. We won't lie, we're worried for Ohioans, and the rest of the country, if this budget passes. One thing is for ce…

I can't fight alone

John, it's Emilia Sykes. Can I be candid with you for a moment? Fundraising is one of my least favorite parts of the job. I'd much rather be sharing more news about the bills I’m working on to help Ohioans or how I’m fighting for your freedoms than asking you for $5. But the reality is that…
