We can't live like this

and we don't have to     I am heartbroken -- the back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio this past weekend together killed over 30 people and injured dozens more. They happened within 24 hours of each other, and the gunfire lasted less than a minute. We can’t live like this. …

two seconds

Open this before midnight →     The first month of the quarter is over in a matter of hours, and we have to come out strong. This is an incredibly important time in the campaign: I’ve been named one of Democrats’ most at-risk incumbents, and the NRCC has launched attacks agains…

What happens when we miss goals:

    I’ll say it again: Our deadlines are just as important now as they will be in 2020. Reaching our fundraising goals will determine our ability to: Run TV ads Provide coffee and supplies for canvassers Build robust voter outreach and digital campaigns Respond to outside …

Last time you'll hear from me, today

There's a lot going on.     I emailed you last night and I’m following up, because we’re still not on track to hit our goal. With the presidential debates starting tonight, I know a lot is happening and I don’t want to take up any more of your time, so I’ll make this super quic…

one sec

We're coming up short.     Quick update: My team and I are working around the clock to reach our July fundraising goal, but I need to be honest with you: We’re coming up short, and our deadline is in just two days. Can you rush in a contribution? If you've saved your payment …

On my 3rd cup of coffee

Time is running out before our deadline.     Hi there, I can’t stress enough the importance of raising money early in the cycle for a race like Mikie’s. We need to invest now to build up our resources, so Mikie can connect with supporters and fight back against attacks from Wa…

An attack on New Jersey families

"Sherrill Takes On Feds, Tries To Revive SALT Workaround"     This can’t continue: The SALT deduction cap has prevented 11 million Americans from deducting more than $323 billion in state and local taxes. It’s hurting families across the country, especially here in New Jersey. …

Elaine Chao hasn't done her homework

The transportation secretary showed just how little regard she has for the needs of New Jerseyans.     I’m sick and tired of this: The Portal Bridge Project is one of our most urgent infrastructure priorities, but Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has showed just how little regar…
