personal ask

John- I wanted to reach out personally.  This is our first chance of 2024 to show how serious we are about taking back the House. The GOP has wasted no time in ramping up their fundraising efforts. But, I know that even their mega-donors are no match for the strength of our grassroots movement. If…

we want to deliver an outstanding report

John- we’re about to finalize our January fundraising numbers before we report them to Jan. We’d love to tell her that we closed our $2,093 gap, but we’re going to need your help.  If just a few more people chip in, we can close our gap and deliver Jan an outstanding report. Can you rush a contrib…

the most important election of our lifetime

John- it’s not an exaggeration to say 2024 may be the most important election of our lifetime.   Our fundamental rights are on the ballot, even if they’re not listed by name. A vote for the GOP is a vote against reproductive rights, voting rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. They’re going to go after every…

it’s time to remove the roadblocks

John,  The current Republican House has shown us they are determined to undermine any sort of progress. My Democratic colleagues and I have relentlessly pushed for legislation that improves the lives of average American families. We’ve gotten important work done and delivered for our communities. …

Jan's Plans & Pans - January 24, 2024 Dear John xxxxxx, Once again, House Democrats saved the day by helping pass a continuing resolution, averting a catastrophic shutdown of the government. A total of 106 Republicans, nearly half of the entire House Republican Confere…

51 years ago: Roe v. Wade

Hi John, it's Jan.   51 years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed the legal right to an abortion in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. It was a monumental step forward for reproductive rights nationwide.   However, two years ago, a new Supreme Court, dominated by Trump appointees, overturned this hist…

I’ll keep this really brief:

John- I just wanted to send you a quick message before the weekend.  In just a few hours we will reach our first fundraising deadline of 2024 and we’re still $3,000 shy of closing the gap in our budget. Will you rush a donation today to help us close the gap and support Democrats’ efforts to retur…

this Friday

John,  Last year, the GOP brought us to the brink of repeated government shutdowns, wasted our time with their inability to elect a Speaker of the House, and refused to compromise on legislation that would better the lives of American families.  This year, let’s make sure they don’t have the chanc…

this is it

This is it. In just a few hours, the books close on the final public FEC fundraising deadline before the election year. The GOP is too radical to be in control of the House for another two years. I know you agree, so I’m asking: will you chip in $25 or any amount you can before our midnight deadl…

the most important election of our lifetimes, John

John, it’s not an exaggeration to say 2024 may be the most important election of our lifetime.  The Republicans have been completely taken over by the farthest right, least capable, and most dangerous members of their party. And Donald Trump is knocking at the door of the Oval Office.  The final p…
