The last line of defense

If Donald Trump wants to undermine our democracy, he will have to go through me.

Democratic Values

Josh Shapiro speaking

Take it from the guy who took the President and his allies to court 43 times after the 2020 election and won 43 times: Donald Trump doesn’t control our elections.

So Donald Trump can say whatever he wants, even sign his name to anything he wants. If he tries to go after your right to vote, he’ll have to go through me.

But make no mistake: Right now, the Governor’s office is the very last line of defense between our Commonwealth and a far-right takeover. So if my opponent wins this election on November 3rd — and Republicans take both chambers of the General Assembly with it — that defense will fall.

Our elections will be in jeopardy. Our democracy will be in peril. The fundamental freedom to vote in a free, fair, safe, and secure election will be at risk.

Please, Jason: We can’t leave our democracy up to chance. Will you rush $5 or $25 right now — split between our campaign and Democratic Values — to help us hold the line against Donald Trump, our far-right opponent, and their attacks on our elections?

We can't take back the House without first taking back NY-17!

Beth is the only candidate taking Donald Trump and Mike Lawler on in real time—working to lower costs, stand up to ICE, protect our drinking water, and curb the threat of AI to our communities.
 

Ohio is our BEST CHANCE (Trump is TERRIFIED!)


HISTORIC PREDICTION:

Democrats WIN in Ohio…

Democrats TAKE BACK the Senate…

Trump’s presidency CRUMBLES.

Senate flips blue?!

Ohio is our BEST CHANCE to flip a red seat blue and finally END Trump’s regime. But it won’t happen unless grassroots Democrats step up right now! We’re calling on every New Jersey  Democrat to help us build the blue wave that will CRUSH Trump’s influence across the country. Will you please chip in $29 before our mid-month deadline,  Jason >>

Republicans are TERRIFIED of Democrats' momentum in Ohio.

That’s why they’re spending over $79,000,000+ to BLANKET Ohio with hateful attack ads…

We can’t let Trump’s billionaires buy our elections – we NEED to mobilize an unstoppable wave of voters against him!!!

Social Security, reproductive rights, Medicaid, LGBTQ+ freedoms, and voting rights are ALL on the line.

Jason , if you have ANYTHING to give in the fight to help defeat Trump and restore our Democratic Majorities, NOW IS THE TIME! Rush $29, $40, or anything you can spare before our mid-month deadline expires >>

Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of Democratic causes!

We’re proud to be 100% grassroots funded, meaning we never accept SuperPAC contributions or Special Interest Money.

We’re emailing you today -- because we need to elect a wave of Progressive leaders to Congress.

Without the help of our grassroots supporters, we’d have nothing. And if we can’t fundraise, Progressives will lose and Republicans will win.

While Republicans rely on corporate SuperPACs, we count on grassroots donors like you to do our work.

Every penny goes towards electing bold Progressives across the country.

So please: take a few minutes to respond to the poll below, and help set Democrats up for VICTORY this November ↘↘
