Why we need Mary Gay

With less than 16 weeks until the election, I’m gonna tell you why we need Mary Gay in Congress. But before I do… we have a critical budget deadline coming up on Sunday. Can I count on you to chip in? Here’s a personalized link: https://secure.actblue.com/mgs_eom#John Mary Gay keeps deli…

It’s not just us...

Mary Gay isn’t the only Democrat who needs your support this election year. Our local elections for state representative and state senate are on the front line in defending the rights the GOP and their extremist Supreme Court are hellbent on revoking. For every high profile race there are…

Big news!!

Hi John! We’re Grace and Riley – the final two Scanlon for Congress Democracy Summer Fellows! Before we get to share our news, we wanted to share a little about our experience during the Democracy Summer fellowship. We were asked where we imagine ourselves in five years and this was one of…

We want to tell you about Mary Gay

Hello hello! We’re Kyle, Kat and Ellie, yesterday you heard from some of our fellow Fellows (ha!) — there are eleven of us participating in the Democracy Summer fellowship and we are excited to say hi to you too! To lots of people our representatives in Congress probably seem inaccessible,…

Hear from Mary Gay

Did you see Mary Gay’s message? This is important. With the GOP candidates pushing their extremist platform, we need your help to stop them in their tracks. Mary Gay knows Pennsylvanians need solutions-oriented policies that lower costs and support children and families, not abandon them in…

This is our responsibility, John.

I wanted to take a moment and touch base with you about the upcoming midterms. Democrats only have a 6 seat majority in the House as we head into the November election. Since Republican controlled state legislatures have decimated fair representation by gerrymandering districts in their fa…

We need you with us

Pennsylvania is top of the list for Republicans in 2022. They have set their eyes on us and are sitting on a warchest, ready to flip seats. It's clear what the GOP's plan is: 🚫 A national abortion ban 🚫 Revisiting Supreme Court rulings on same sex marriage and contraceptive access 🚫 Prom…

Let's talk

Mary Gay has always been a fighter. But, as is the case for so many of us, everything that’s been unfolding has Mary Gay at a whole new level determination. From abortion rights to voting rights to gun violence prevention and climate action, she knows the threats we face impact generations…

Once again, thank you!

Thank you, John! Your hard work and donations have paid off – Mary Gay exceeded her end-of-quarter goal so she is well on her way to a strong summer and securing a win in PA-05 this November. We couldn’t do this work without you – thank you! Celebrating our nation’s independence was not e…

I just got off the phone with my campaign manager Sam. He told me we just need a few more grassroots donations to hit our internal goal for tonight’s filing. First, thank you for always being there to help when we need you the most! These are wild and difficult times, and we know it’s hard t…

On a mission

We are at a make or break moment. Democrats have to defend our majority in the House – too much is at stake. They already overturned Roe and now the GOP is on a destructive path headed for marriage equality and contraception access next. We’ve already seen what Republicans are up to: strip…

I just need a moment

I had a moment between meetings and had to forward you Mary Gay’s note from yesterday. We are up against our FIRST public fundraising deadline since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. We know the right-wing pundits will be digging into our reports to show signs of weakness moving in…

It's not much

John — We are in the final stretch of the second quarter, and our campaign has our FIRST Federal Elections Commission (FEC) filing since the Supreme Court overturned Roe. This is a federal filing deadline, meaning every congressional candidates’ fundraising strength (or weakness) will be …

Just the start

Last week, we watched in horror as the Supreme Court struck down decades of constitutional precedent by overturning Roe v. Wade. But they didn’t stop there. In his concurring opinion, Justice Thomas wrote that the legal reasoning the Supreme Court used to overturn Roe can be applied to o…

Happy Pride!

June is Pride month – a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, reflect on the past, and move towards progress and equity. Mary Gay attended Upper Darby’s Pride this month! Pride is a season of celebration, but it must be matched by a season of hard work. Mary Gay knows this as much as a…

Juneteenth is a time to reflect

Juneteenth honors June 19th, 1865, when a Union General finally informed enslaved people in Galveston, Texas that the Civil War had ended and they were free – two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Long a holiday observed within Black communities around the country, the…

Mary Gay is fighting for you

Did you see Mary Gay’s message yesterday? The past few weeks have been busier than ever. Working so closely with Mary Gay, I’ve seen her fighting spirit first hand. I have no doubt that she is ready to take on her opponent and the GOP this fall. There is no one more dedicated to serving h…

Checking in

Hi — I wanted to check in to make sure you saw Sam’s message earlier today. As hard as it is to think about campaigning right now, the GOP is chomping at the bit to turn PA red. With abortion rights under attack, common sense gun reform hanging in the balance, and voting rights on the line…
