F the NRA

  Team, the NRA just gave me an F rating, and my opponent an A+ rating. The difference couldn’t be more clear: my opponent is beholden to the gun lobby, while I am going to do everything in my power to pass gun safety legislation to keep our families safe. I’ll vote to ban assault …

Risky move

  Hi folks, I just made a tough decision and want to be fully transparent with you. With less than 50 days until the election, outside special interest groups have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the race on behalf of our opponent. To stay competitive, I approved an ad…

The Federal Election Commission

  Team, here’s something you should know about campaigning: Every three months, we have to submit our fundraising report to the Federal Election Commission. That report is made public, meaning everyone can see our fundraising numbers — including our Republican opponent and the supe…

Now that Pat is in Congress

  Team, Last week, Pat was sworn into Congress. Now, he’s going to spend his time in Washington fighting for our community and for our biggest priorities. But we want to hear from you: What should Pat focus on now that he’s made it to Congress? Let us know by responding to our firs…

Our Re-Elect Pat Fund deadline is tonight

  Team, We launched the Re-Elect Pat Fund because we know how high the stakes are in this election. All eyes were on Pat during the special election last month, and now pundits are wondering if he can pull off another big win this November. We know that Pat has what it takes to win…

We like option 3

  Folks, We’re falling behind on our ambitious $10,000 online fundraising goal. When we come up short of our fundraising, we’re left with a few options: 1. Have Pat make more fundraising calls. 2. Cut back on our spending, which would be tough this close to Election Day. 3. Ask our…

Why we set this fundraising goal

  Hi team, We set a big online fundraising goal of $10,000 by the end of this weekend to re-elect Pat to Congress. This is an ambitious goal, but it’s so important that we reach it. Going up against a far-right Republican who has the backing of huge conservative super PACs is not e…

What can we say?

  Team — Is there anything we can say to earn your $10 donation before Sunday's deadline? What if we told you that more than $1 million is being spent by right-wing organizations in support of our far-right opponent, Colin Schmitt? What if we told you that the path to holding onto …

Re-elect Pat Fund

  Team, On Tuesday, Pat was officially sworn in as a member of Congress. That means as of today, we’re now working to re-elect Pat to Congress! With less than two months until the election, we are in a full-on sprint to November. We have limited time to speak with voters, get our a…

Reproductive rights in jeopardy

  Team — A bill restricting reproductive health care access nationally is being introduced in the Senate and the House this week. This is why elections matter. We can’t let legislation like this pass. Pat was literally sworn into Congress yesterday, and he will immediately fight to…

I was sworn in as a Member of Congress

Re-electing Pat starts here

  Folks, a yard sign is so much more than just lawn decoration. It’s a signal to people in the community who you support and what you stand for. When you put up a Pat Ryan sign, you’re showing that you believe in reproductive rights. You believe in passing gun safety legislation to…

Yard signs

  Team, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that yard signs win elections… but they can certainly help our campaign. During the special election, we only had a few months to let voters know who Pat is and what he stands for. And yard signs definitely helped us get his name out across th…

Frankly, it’s BS

  Team — Kevin McCarthy and Republican leaders are spending hundreds of thousands on TV attacking Pat to try to win this race. Frankly, the ad is a bunch of BS. It’s the same tired attack that Republicans tried back in August. We beat their first handpicked candidate and with your …

Reaching folks in the new parts of our district

  Team, Pat’s message is a winning one – we saw that firsthand last week. But we need to make sure this message reaches every corner of our newly-drawn district. Because of redistricting, Pat’s home is in a new congressional district, and we have less than 10 weeks to let voters kn…

The polls didn’t show us winning

  Team — a week ago, we sent a strong message across the country and proved a lot of people wrong. Poll after poll showed Pat behind his Republican opponent, and pundits expressed doubt about whether we could win this competitive seat. This might be bold to say, but I never had a d…

The far-right Republican running against Pat

Fighting for our democracy and our country

Not stopping until polls close
