Re: Donna will tackle the climate crisis

Did you see this, JOHN? Jane Fonda has been all over the news campaigning for climate candidate Donna Edwards because she knows we need elected officials who will take bold action to reduce our fossil fuel emissions.   Did you see Jane's email below, JOHN? This morning, Jane Fonda tol…

No one to represent Maryland women

Right now, Maryland has ZERO women in the House or Senate. Not one person to represent the priorities and lived experiences of over 50% of the population. Maryland needs a woman in our delegation   JOHN, Reproductive rights are under attack, childcare costs are soaring, and maternal mo…

Re: They’re trying to buy this election, JOHN.

Glenn Ivey’s campaign is fueled by a super PAC backed by two Republican billionaires that have a history of going after women-of-color and supporting anti-choice candidates. JOHN — my campaign is fueled by the people. Glenn Ivey’s campaign is fueled by a super PAC backed by two Republican billi…

Emergency! $5 MILLION in dark money

We just got news that dark money outside groups are pouring EVEN MORE money to attack our campaign. They’ve now contributed over $4 million — that’s more than twice the amount they spent trying to defeat Summer Lee in Pennsylvania. I can’t believe I’m writing to you about this again JOHN, but I …

this is about freedom

The GOP's cruel agenda won't stop here. They will pass a nationwide abortion abortion ban if they retake the Senate. And experts agree Senate control will be decided right here in Nevada, where Nate Silver is calling my race the GOP’s best pickup opportunity. I'm furious. I’m heartbroken. But I’…

I’m still fighting for you

With abortion rights gone, Democrats are joining together to fight back. Instead, here in Prince George’s County, Glenn Ivey has talked corporate dark-money outsiders into running MILLIONS in false attack ads against me.   JOHN, With abortion rights gone, Democrats are joining together…

The attacks are working

In May, Donna led this race by 13 points. Since then, dark money groups have spent $3.5 MILLION in misleading attack ads on Glenn Ivey’s behalf, in a last-ditch effort to damage our campaign.   JOHN — With early voting starting tomorrow and the primary election in 13 days, we have to c…

My thoughts on the Fourth of July

JOHN, We’ve experienced a very difficult past couple of weeks in this country and frankly, it’s been hard not to lose hope. So I have to be honest, the Fourth of July feels a little different to me this year. In times like these, when I feel discouraged and uncertain, there’s one question I al…

I’m asking you to not give up

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ripping away every woman’s right to make her own health care decisions and putting far-right politicians in control of our bodies. I’m heartbroken, I’m furious, and I’m personally counting on you to help fight back now! JOHN, The Supreme Court overturne…
