As a Capitol Police Officer and as an American, January 6th, 2021, was the darkest day of my life. I was immersed for what felt like countless hours in a profane mix of sweat, screams, shrieks, anger, death, fear, blood, broken limbs, spit, hatred, horror, racism, and bigotry.
The wounds that my heroic fellow officers endured are still healing. But my commitment to ensuring the strength of our democracy has only deepened.
It’s the reason I’ve decided to run for Congress for Maryland’s 5th District.
I made this choice because I cannot sit idly by while our very right to survive is under attack by Donald Trump. I’ve fought against his angry mob before, and I’m ready to do it again.
So I’m asking you to make a choice, John:
- Either we sit back, let the bigots win, and allow dark money to buy this seat out from under us.
- Or, we can step up and prove we won’t surrender in the face of hate.
MAGA extremists will fight like hell to destroy our campaign. I need you with me in this fight. I’m humbly asking you to become a Founding Donor to my campaign. We set a $500,000 goal to kickstart this campaign and build our movement. So please: will you please chip in $10 (or more) before midnight tonight to our campaign and Blue Vision today?
this is the moment we’ve been dreading.
Donald Trump has signed an executive order, telling his corrupt Justice Department to go after ActBlue — the platform that powers Democratic grassroots fundraising.
Yes, you read that right.
A sitting president is using his power to target the fundraising arm of the opposition party. This is STUNNING and an unprecedented power grab.
Trump knows that ActBlue is the key to our fight against his dangerous agenda. Without it, our ability to fund Democratic candidates, protect voting rights, and hold him accountable would be severely crippled.
We can’t let this stand.
We need an immediate surge of grassroots support to show Trump and his corrupt Justice Department that we will NOT be silenced.
This is the fight of our lives. Can we count on you to chip in $5 or more right now to protect ActBlue?
This is the kind of power grab we’ve been warning you about.
Trump is coming for ActBlue, the platform that powers the heart of our grassroots movement. If he succeeds, we lose our voice. We lose our ability to fund candidates who stand up for reproductive rights, healthcare, and democracy.
We can’t let Trump get away with this.
We have to raise $50,000 in the next 24 hours to defend ActBlue and continue fighting for our future. Will you donate $25 or more today to make sure Trump can’t shut us down?
