Hey there — this is Wes Moore. Chris said I could reach out to his amazing team of supporters, so I wanted to drop you a line.

Both Chris and I are on the verge of making history by becoming the first Black Governors of the states of Arkansas and Maryland — but more importantly, we’re running to lift up working families and ensure no one is left behind.

When I was three years old, I watched my father die in our home from a rare but treatable virus. My mother was left to raise my sisters and me on her own. As a child, I faced my share of challenges and struggles. My life could have gone a very different way.

But I was lucky. I had a mom who believed in me before I believed in myself. She pushed me to value education and see the incredible possibilities of this world. With her support, I’ve defied the odds to become a U.S. Army officer who served in combat in Afghanistan, a Rhodes Scholar, a small-business owner, a leader at one of the nation’s largest poverty-fighting organizations, and now, Maryland’s Democratic nominee for Governor.

Chris and I are both working to flip our competitive gubernatorial seats from red to blue this November, and we’re both running against far-right extremists who threaten to drag our states backward. My opponent, Dan Cox, has advocated for overturning the 2020 presidential election results, supports a complete ban on abortion, and spends his time traveling to out-of-state Trump rallies instead of prioritizing the people of Maryland.

This November’s election is an opportunity for historic, transformational change in Arkansas, Maryland, and our country as a whole. Will you help me and Chris win our races in less than two months so we can fight for you? A split donation to our campaigns will go a long way!

Thank you for supporting me and Chris as we work to move our states forward. This November’s election is too important to sit on the sidelines.

Elevate,

Wes
