John,

Since we kicked off this reelection campaign two weeks ago, I’ve heard from so many Pennsylvanians from all across our Commonwealth. I’ve heard your stories, your concerns, and your kind words.

But I’ve also heard a lot of questions — so I wanted to use this email to address some FAQs about our campaign.

What is the state of the race right now?

Just like every other statewide election in Pennsylvania, it’s shaping up to be a close one. We’re running in the swingiest of swing states — which means every TV ad, every campaign event, and yes, every dollar, could be the tipping point.

What can I do to help?

The most effective way you can boost our campaign right now is by making an early investment. I know Election Day is still months away… but take it from me: Even a $1 or $10 donation in January goes a whole lot further than a $100 donation the day before the election. So if you’re able, I’d really appreciate it if you could click here and make a grassroots donation of any size.

What’s the biggest challenge for the campaign?

Here’s the thing: When Pennsylvanians hear about everything we’ve accomplished together — cutting taxes, investing in public education, defending our fundamental freedoms, standing up to the President — we earn their support. But making sure folks actually hear about that record? That’s where things get challenging.

The far-right will spend whatever it takes to drown out our message. So we need to raise a lot of money to make sure their attacks don’t run without a proper response.

But John, that strategy only works when folks like you step off the sidelines and get into the game. So I’m humbly asking: Will you make a contribution of any size before midnight tonight? Any amount — even just $1 — would mean a lot for our campaign at this point in the race.

Thank you,

Josh Shapiro
