just 3 things

[link removed] John, now that we’re well into the election year, there’s 3 important things you need to know: 1. The Washington Post, Roll Call, and the Cook Political Report have all called our race in AZ-06 as one of the most competitive House races in the country. 2. Republicans’ House Majority …

Did you hear??

Hey John! I emailed you a few days ago about how we’re working to launch our FIRST ad buy of the cycle, and told you about our huge fundraising push to secure our airtime before the World Cup begins. But with less than a week until the World Cup, we’re still $4,598 short of our goal. If we fall sh…

Welcome to The Hell Cats

Bad news, John

[link removed] John, I have some bad news… Yesterday was our May End-of-Month deadline, but we fell short of our fundraising goal. I need your help to make sure we get back on track, so if you can, will you chip in $1 now to help us fill the gap in our June budget ASAP? >> ([link removed]) CHIP …

this will only take 60 seconds

[link removed] Hi, John. If you don’t already know, I was a U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor. Today, we’re running a drill: By the time this 60-second timer runs out, I’m counting on 3 grassroots supporters from PHILADELPHIA to step up and give $1 to my campaign to flip AZ-06. [link removed] C…

we’re still $4,852 short of our goal

[link removed] John, I want to share some news with you – both good and bad. First, the bad news: Since this race is now getting national attention, that means Mike Johnson and the rest of the Republican establishment are going to throw millions into this race to keep their puppet Juan Ciscomani i…

this is our first ad buy of the cycle

[link removed] John, I’m about to ask something small that will make a huge difference. We’re getting ready to run our FIRST ad buy of the cycle — the one that introduces me to tens of thousands of voters across AZ-06. And we need to get this ad on the air before the World Cup. That timing matte…

one dollar (seriously)

[link removed] John, I need to thank you. You’re probably getting emails from tons of campaigns, so it means so much that you’ve stayed engaged with our movement to flip AZ-06 blue. As a single mom and working class candidate, I’m so humbled by the nationwide support for our campaign. No one expe…

In honor of Memorial Day

[link removed] John, this is not just a three-day weekend. It is not about burgers, hot dogs, travel plans, or gas prices. Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that generations of Americans have given their lives in service to this country and that we have a responsibility to ensure that future gener…

[link removed] Hey John, it’s Taylor, Jo’s finance director. I just wanted to bump Jo’s earlier email! We’re only $2,425.36 behind our midnight fundraising goal, and in a race as tight as this we need to hit every goal to stay competitive. Will you step up with a $20 donation by midnight to help…

The reality of running in a swing district:

[link removed] John, running against the most vulnerable Republican in Congress comes at a price. Right now, MAGA megadonors and special interest PACs are preparing to pour millions to save Juan CiscoMAGA’s seat and stay in the majority. Here’s what that looks like: Attack ads will flood the airw…

more B.S. from Pete Hegseth

[link removed] John, this really pisses me off. [link removed] Instead of using his position to take care of our veterans, Pete Hegseth is using our troops as props for their latest culture war. He says he wants troops to meet the “highest male standard”, but that’s B.S. I already met the standa…

Short, but important

[link removed] We’ll keep this short, John… Real short. [link removed] Jo’s race is going to be one of the most competitive House races in the entire country. Simply put, there’s no Democratic House majority without flipping AZ-06 blue… So if you’re looking for a campaign where your dollars will…

If I’m asking you for money, the least I can do is tell you where it’s going, John

[link removed] John, I know being asked for money via email isn’t super fun. In fact, I hate asking for money. But the truth is, when you’re running in a Congressional race as competitive as mine, you have no choice but to ask. And I’m proud to be asking you—never the shady special interests or co…

James just sent me this

[link removed] John, look at what my campaign manager James sent me! [link removed] We’re ahead of Juan Ciscomani in the latest poll––and by 3% no less! The special interests funding my opponent thought they could drown out our movement with dark money. But they underestimated us. All of our ha…
