I’ve learned something over the last three years as your Governor: Power isn’t just wielded in large acts or on big stages.

You have enormous power, John. And throughout this campaign, I’m asking you to use that power.

I’ll tell you what I mean by that in a moment, but before I go any further, I need you to know:

Far-right politicians, national GOP groups, you name it — they’re already hard at work, spreading lie after lie about the movement we’ve built together. I knew these attacks were coming. But now, it’s on all of us to make sure they don’t spread unchecked. Can you chip in whatever you can to help me and my team push back?

In times like these, I know it can feel like small, individual actions can’t make a difference. That the politicians running the show in DC are too powerful, too isolated for any single person to make a difference. But that’s not true at all, John.

And Pennsylvania would know.

250 years ago, a group of Americans gathered in Philadelphia to declare its independence from the most powerful empire in the world. Just a small handful of people had the courage to tell the entire world that we had the power to determine America’s future.

Not a king. Not a tyrant.

I think about that story a lot, John. Because I see so many parallels between then and now.

I see how small, individual actions — the decision to join a campaign, the courage to protest peacefully, the bravery to speak out against injustice — have added up and changed Pennsylvania for the better.

That’s what this campaign is all about. Small, but significant actions all coming together into something bigger. Something unstoppable. Now, I’m asking you to join me — to take that small step and help us build a brighter future for Pennsylvania. If that’s a movement you can get behind, I hope you’ll chip in just a few dollars to support our team.

Thank you,

Josh Shapiro
