Not where we need to be

Hi John -- wrote you yesterday about this month’s fundraising, but we’re still short. I wish I had better news and could tell you that we hit our goal early, but that’s unfortunately not the case. We have $940 left to raise, and we can’t afford to fall short if we’re going to run …

The future of our campaign

Hi John,   We’ve been busy connecting with voters in WA-10 communities about who I am, why I’m running, and the future of the South Sound.   I keep hearing the same thing: folks want a new leader who will fight for truth, progress, and accountability in D.C., but if we’re going to …

Photos from the trail

Phil Gardner for WA         Hi John,   A little over a month ago, we launched our campaign in the South Sound with energy, enthusiasm, and hope for our future. We knew our district was ready for a fresh style of leadership that’s focused on the facts, spoke in …

Not the message I wanted to send you today

Hi John,   This week, I emailed you personally about our weekly fundraising goal. Yesterday, we were $1,025 short of our target.    Admittedly, this is not the note I wanted to write you this morning, but we fell short by a couple hundred dollars.    Missing our benchmarks, especial…

$1,025 short

Hi John -- Great news! After I wrote yesterday, some amazing folks really stepped up to help us close in on our goal. However, I don’t believe I saw a contribution from you -- and right now, we’re just $1,025 short of this week’s goal. If you did give and I missed your gift: THANK YO…

Here’s what we need

Hi John -- It’s easy to become discouraged by all that’s happening in Washington, D.C. Right now, we’re living in a scary, harrowing time for our democracy, and we need leaders in Congress who will stick to the facts, call out the lies, and speak truth to power now more than ever befo…

Trump’s proposed budget

Phil Gardner for WA         Hi John,   The president announced his 2021 Federal Budget proposal. It includes cuts to healthcare, social safety net programs, and housing to pay for a useless border wall. It slashes student loan forgiveness and anti-hunger pro…

$410 more

Hi John, I emailed you earlier in the week about our campaign’s February fundraising goals, but -- and let us know if this isn’t accurate -- I don’t think we saw a contribution from you this week. If our systems are off, apologies for the extra email and thank YOU for your support. We’…

“Total acquittal”

Phil Gardner for WA         Hi John,   Last week, the Senate majority voted to acquit Donald Trump of his crimes. Not only did the president try to cheat his way to re-election in 2020, but now his allies in Congress have helped cover it up. After his bizarre…

John, real quick. We’re just $780 short of our January goal. Can I count on you to pitch in $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can now to help me continue working for the future of the South Sound?

We have a path out of the mess our country and our planet are in -- and it starts right here in the South Sound. We need a leader who will stand up to the group of conmen, clowns, and cowards that make up and support the Trump administration -- a leader who will fight to make our country a …

Should the U.S. take immediate action on climate change?

Phil Gardner for WA         Hi John,   Donald Trump has labeled the climate crisis a “Chinese hoax” and just last week called youth climate activists across the world like Greta Thunberg and Washington state’s own Jamie Margolin “the perennial prophets of doom…
