Following up on behalf of Mary Gay

      John,   Sam, Mary Gay's Campaign Manager here. I'm following up on Mary Gay's note from earlier on our redistricting survey. If you haven't already shared your thoughts, we could really use your feedback.   The last time the GOP-led state legislature h…

Three years

Hi John,   I wanted to drop you a quick note today to mark the third anniversary of my swearing-in ceremony.   Usually, after a Representative-elect has won in November they are sworn in the next January. But in 2018, because one Representative retired early from a district that was being split…

Your opinion on redistricting

      Hi John,   Last Tuesday's disappointing election results proved that Democrats must work twice as hard to protect our progressive values in 2022.   But the redistricting process is in full swing here in Pennsylvania, and the Republican-led state legisl…

update

Hi John,   I wouldn't be writing again on Halloween if this wasn't so important.   With the Reapportionment Commission having approved the data they will use for redistricting, the PA Republican-led state legislature will now attempt to draw me out of a district. And I am still short of my Lit…
