Did you see Mary Gay’s email?

She wants to hear from you, John Hey John! Wanted to make sure you saw Mary Gay’s last email asking you to share your 2026 priorities as we head into what will undoubtedly be another chaotic year under this GOP trifecta and a tight race for the House majority this midterm. To be h…

Heading into the New Year and we want to hear from you

Have a quick second?   John, are you ready for the 2026 elections? I know I am, because I know how critical they are to protecting our families, future, and democracy. This year was proof enough that a national GOP trifecta is in the best interest of absolutely NO ONE (except …

Now’s the time to say thank you.

And one more thing!   John, Before the holiday season and end-of-year rush really begins, I want to say thank you. Launching a campaign is no small thing — my team is elated and exhausted. Thanks to you and so many others across PA-05 and beyond, we’ve built real momentum thi…

She’d never say so herself — but she really needs you

That’s why I’m stepping in today.   John, Mary Gay would never say this herself, so I’m stepping in to say it for her: She really needs you right now. We’re in the middle of her first public fundraising deadline rush since launching her re-election campaign — and what we rai…

There’s still time for you…

…to become a Founding member of my campaign.   John, Last week, I officially launched my re-election campaign — and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outpouring of support we’ve had already. But if you haven’t chipped in yet, I want to give you this chance: Will you join m…

Still time and still needed

Last chance to become a founding donor today! If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, I’d like to invite you to make it this one. Today is the official launch of my re-election campaign. Giving Tuesday ends at midnight. And we’re still working to hit our Founding Donor goal. …

I’ve seen what it takes

Mary Gay fights harder than anyone. And now she needs us.   Hi John. As you might know, I’ve worked in politics for a long time. I’ve seen a lot of candidates. But I’ve never worked for someone who fights harder — or gets more done — than Mary Gay Scanlon. She reads every wor…

If you’re giving anywhere today…

Let it be for a campaign that fights like hell.   John, If you’re giving anywhere today — if you’re able to give — I hope you’ll pick a fight that matters to you and your family. My campaign fight isn’t just about re-electing one Democrat. It’s about beating back extremism, p…

An update: the Epstein Files

Will the House GOP be loyal to the people or to Trump?

I know my answer   John, I’m going to cut to the chase: The shutdown is over, but the House GOP is still scrambling, delaying, and straight-up lying. Again. What else is new, you might ask? Fair. It’s true that they’re completely dysfunctional, captured by the corruption comi…

This is what it costs us

To be honest, this makes me sick   John, I want to be honest with you. The GOP shutdown may soon be drawing to a close because of the Senate deal — but the GOP’s long-established history of hurting people is still fresh in our minds. The fight is coming back to the House, an…
