A goodbye to 2021

Hi John, As we say goodbye to 2021, I am so truly grateful to have you on my team. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all of your kindness and support. It's because of you and the inspiration you give me that, despite the challenges, I know that serving the people of PA-05 is so very worth i…

$750 short

Hi—we're just $750 away from tonight's fundraising goal. But we really can't fall even a single dollar short because when my numbers go public after the FEC filing, the PA GOP will pore over every detail as they attempt to redraw me out of a congressional seat.   A contribution of any amount you…

Crucial support

John, Last time PA's Republican-led state legislature redrew the PA congressional districts, the result was an egregious attempt to make numerous Democrats hand their office keys over to the GOP. And now, the PA GOP is attempting to play this same dirty trick with their proposed 2022 congressional d…

The PA GOP just released a map

John,   The PA House GOP just released their proposed 2022 congressional districts. I'll cut to the chase: This map goes back to the old ways of ridiculous-looking districts, and if enacted it would cost Democrats at least one seat, and potentially several. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that…
