A special moment

John, Today is a day of celebration for our campaign! It marks the second anniversary of the Democrats' landmark Inflation Reduction Act and, in turn, the second anniversary of Lauren's historic Health Care Affordability Act. These monumental achievements highlight Democrats’ comm…

Can I explain?

John — In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution toward our last mid-quarter fundraising deadline before Election Day. But first, let me explain why your support is so incredibly important, especially right now. At the end of September, my team will send a quar…

This is bad

John, We're days away from our mid-quarter deadline, and we need your help. The bad news: Mid-quarter checkpoints bring in fewer donations than monthly or quarterly deadlines — this time, we can’t afford to leave this one to chance. We must be proactive in ensuring we win this sea…

Just us?

John — is it just us or is the summer flying by? Here we are in the middle of August, with less than 12 weeks until the general election. What we do with this time will make the difference in our race against MAGA extremist Jim Marter, it will make the difference in taking back th…

Look

Hey John — According to my team, fewer folks have been opening and donating to our emails recently and as a result, we’re not on track to hit our critical fundraising goal before September. Look, I get it — I know these emails can get pretty pesky sometimes, John. My staff may not…

They’re scheming

John, Congressional Republicans have failed to use their majority to carry out a unified plan that will help the American people and at this point, it’s not going to happen. Extreme MAGA Republicans like Lauren’s opponent, James Marter, are scheming to keep control of the House so…

Hi John — Happy Friday! It’s hard to believe we have less than 90 days until Election Day.  Even though Congress is in session just a few days this month, Lauren is not slowing down. As we love to hear her say, she’s just getting started. From passing legislation to lower costs fo…

Spare you the headache

John, if we could avoid bringing up far-right extremist JD Vance — we would spare you the headache. The problem is that he’s coming in HOT on attacking Americans’ access to quality, affordable health care. While not voting to expand the Child Tax Credit, Vance made it abundantly c…

No human is illegal

Here we go again, John. James Marter has once again attacked Lauren, this time at the expense of dehumanizing immigrants. Let’s make this point clear to our MAGA opponent, James Marter: NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL. Those coming to this country in search of safety and a better way of life …
