We’re not stopping until the polls close

  John, today is Election Day! Everything we’ve worked toward all comes down to tonight. Our House majority is on the line, along with the progress we’ve made together. With recent polling ranking this race as a toss-up, this election is still anyone’s to win. That’s why we’re not…

Thank you

  Hey John — I’m in between campaign stops right now and wanted to hop online to send you a quick message. I want to start by saying thank you — for putting up yard signs, pitching in when you can, knocking on doors, and calling voters. And most of all, thank you for believing in …

One day left

  One day left, John. One day left to amplify what’s on the line in this midterm election — from reproductive freedom, to affordable health care, to voting rights and our democracy as we know it. One day left to mobilize and motivate folks to go out and make their voices heard. On…

I know these emails can be pesky

  Hey John — According to my team, fewer folks have been opening and donating to these emails recently and as a result, we’re not on track to hit our pre-election fundraising goal before the deadline expires at midnight. Look, I get it — I know these emails can get pretty pesky so…

I know it’s early...

  Hey John — I know it’s early… It's a little before 6 here, but with Election Day just three days away, I couldn’t sleep. So I got up, made myself a cup of tea, and spent the last hour or so reflecting on the past few years and why I ran for Congress. If you’re up early too, I’d …

I know your inbox is flooded

  John, You’re probably tired of getting these emails, and trust me, I get it. It can be a lot, but we really can’t afford to lose this race. Not when reproductive rights are on the line. Or accessible health care. Or our right to vote. And with our race recently getting downgrade…

What we’re seeing in ActBlue right now

  Hey John — Just wanted to share this email from Ronnie with you. Our fundraising has taken a dip over the last few days, and it’s really important that we get back on track quickly so we don’t have to cut our ad spending and get-out-the-vote efforts this close to Election Day. S…

BREAKING NEWS:

  Breaking news, John: The Cook Political Report just moved our race closer to a toss-up. We’ll be honest, this isn’t the kind of news we want to hear with Election Day just a week away. This is the second organization to push our race ranking in our opponent’s favor in the last t…

This might scare you...

  John, trick-or-treating is always fun, except when it involves our democracy and fundamental rights! Republicans are tricking voters into thinking they don’t support a nationwide abortion ban, even though Kevin McCarthy included it in his House GOP plan for if they take the majo…
