Hi, it’s Carol.

My least favorite part of running for Congress is asking for money.

I didn’t get into this race to fundraise. I got into it to fight for working families, to protect our freedoms, and to make sure Pennsylvania has a representative who puts people over politics. But the reality is, running a competitive campaign in one of the most closely-watched districts in the country means I can’t avoid fundraising.

Truthfully? I wish it were different.

But Republicans know how critical this race is. They’re gearing up to spend big in this race because they know control of the House could come down to this district. They’ve got deep-pocketed dark money donors on their side, and we need grassroots supporters like you to help us match their millions.

That’s why I have to ask: will you chip in $10, $15, or whatever you can today to help us close the fundraising gap ahead of the FEC deadline in 6 days?

Every time I press send on an email like this, I wish I didn’t have to. But when I remember that our campaign is about people, not special interests, it makes it worth it.

Thank you for reading this note, for being part of this team, and for believing in what we’re building together.

Gratefully,

Carol
