John,

My name is Aaron Ford, and I’m running for Governor of Nevada to fight for hardworking families. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to contribute $5 to my grassroots campaign — but first, let me share my story with you.

I grew up in a working-class family.

The neighborhoods I come from are tough. My dad stocked produce at Safeway, and my mom worked odd jobs to help keep us afloat. Sometimes, dinner was just a stale candy bar.

I became a dad in college — then, a single dad shortly after. My son and I relied on Medicaid and food stamps, and I continued pursuing my education. I never gave up.

I earned five degrees, became a public school math teacher, and got elected to the Nevada state Senate, where I was both Minority Leader and Majority Leader during my tenure. Today, I’m humbled to serve as Nevada’s Attorney General.

Gov. Lombardo has failed us.

While I’ve worked to make life better and more affordable for every Nevadan in every neighborhood, Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo has done the exact opposite.

He has vetoed housing reform in the middle of a housing crisis, blocked a cap on prescription drug prices at a time when costs are through the roof, and rejected free school meals for our kids. And Lombardo continues to stand by Donald Trump and his harmful MAGA agenda.

Nevadans are fed up and ready for change.

The Cook Political Report ranks this race a Toss Up and says that Lombardo is the most vulnerable Republican Governor of the midterm elections. In fact, this race is Democrats’ best opportunity to flip a gubernatorial seat blue across the country.

It’s time to move forward, and I need your help.

I’m proof of what’s possible when government sees people not as numbers, but as neighbors. When a family gets a fair shot. When elected leaders make sure that folks who are struggling but striving — like I once was — have the tools they need to chase their dreams.

We’re not getting any of that from Joe Lombardo, which is why I’m running for Governor.

Together, I know we can build a Nevada where everyone who calls our great state home can succeed. But it won’t be easy, and it’ll take serious resources.

The GOP is going to spend millions to defeat me and protect their power. And since Lombardo just launched his reelection campaign, MAGA special interests are gearing up to flood this race with an influx of cash to tip the scales in their direction as early as possible.

The only way I’ll be able to compete and win is with your support, John. So please, will you chip in $5 or more now to help me flip this key gubernatorial seat blue and move Nevada forward?

Thank you so much. I’m incredibly grateful.

Aaron Ford
