One Year, 67 Counties

One year ago today, we launched our campaign for the United States Senate.

I’m *so* proud of everything we’ve accomplished since then. It’s impossible to sum it all up, but I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite things from the past year.

Showing up for organized labor

This fall, workers from all across PA — and the country — stood up, went on strike, and demanded to be treated better in their workplace.

From cereal workers at the Kellogg’s factory in Lancaster demanding living wages, to Erie Strayer Ironworkers demanding safe working conditions, we saw that the Union Way of Life is still the backbone of our country.

Workers will *always* have my support, and I’m proud to have stood alongside them.

Showing up for local Dems in ruby red PA counties

On Zoom and in-person, 2021 was filled with weekend road trips across the Commonwealth to visit some of our most passionate PA Democrats, some deep in the heart of Republican counties.

Meeting yinz + youse all across our Commonwealth is why I’m running for U.S. Senate to begin with. Turning Pennsylvania blue in 2022 is a 67 County race, and we’ve *always* been the 67 County campaign.

I hope that we’ll soon be back in-person + having these picnics again. You know I’ll be there.

Grassroots donations from 88% of PA zip codes

What I may be most proud of is grassroots support from folks like you. While our campaign has received more than 170,000 donations in total + contributions from more than 88% of PA’s zip codes. Gisele and I have been overwhelmed with gratitude.

That ☝️ is what 88% of PA zip codes looks like

Since we launched, I’ve said that we’re running a true 67 County campaign, because that’s what it takes to win. You can’t buy PA with millions of dollars in self-funded money or corporate donations, or just by picking up voters in Southwest and Southeast PA.

You win PA with votes from everywhere, urban + rural. And with your help, that’s what we’re going to do.

We aren’t done yet. We’re going to keep this momentum going and, with your help, flip PA blue.

Thank you 🙏
