Closing in on our end-of-month deadline -- can you help?

Hi John,   Earlier this week, my team and I sent around a survey about the security of this year’s elections. I heard from dozens of people about their concerns over votes being counted, interference from foreign countries, and disinformation by special interests groups wanting to influence the…

Election interference

      Hi John,   Last week, members of the House Intel Committee were briefed by intelligence officials on Russia’s efforts to meddle in the upcoming election. Not only does Russia plan to interfere in the general election but in the Democratic primaries, to…

Checking in about our February fundraising

John -- It’s been a busy few weeks. We launched our re-election campaign, got my name on the ballot (thank you if you signed a petition by the way), and, as you might have heard, learned that AG William Barr will testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee at the end of next month. Between …

I need to know

      Hi John,   I’m disappointed, but not surprised, by last week’s Senate vote to acquit Donald Trump despite the evidence my colleagues and I brought forward. Now, it’s up to us to continue holding the president accountable. This November, we MUST turn ou…

Did you catch Mary Gay’s note this morning?

Hi John,   Ben here. Please excuse the brevity of this email -- I’m running around collecting signatures to get Mary Gay on the ballot but wanted to check in to make sure you saw MG’s note from earlier. We’re still $480 short. Could you pitch in now to keep our team working our tails off in the…

We cannot lose hope

      Dear John,    Just two years ago this week, I announced to all of you that I was running for Congress. After nearly three decades of working as a public interest lawyer, I saw the issues I had been working on -- the progress we'd made -- upended by this a…

Checking back with you for Mary Gay

Hi John,   Ben here. This is admittedly not the email I wanted to send you on a Friday morning, but with all the impeachment news this week on top of the work Mary Gay has been focused on, we’re still short of this week’s fundraising goal.   We’ve built a powerful operation out of PA-05 with …

Right now, we’re still $2,810 short of tonight’s January fundraising goal that will help us counter the GOP attacks from my far-right opponent and national Republican groups like the RNC. Keeping PA-05 blue is critical in protecting the House majority and our progress -- that’s why I’m asking for …

The right-wing attacks
