I’m running for reelection

Folks, I wanted you to hear it directly from me. I'm officially launching my reelection campaign for Governor of Pennsylvania.

Hear me on this: we've gotten a whole lot done, on issues that have been stuck for decades. But there's always more to do. More people to help. More Pennsylvanians to protect. More bridges to build.

That's why I'm running for reelection — to build upon the foundation we've laid, put more points on the board for Pennsylvania families, and keep getting sh*t done.

Folks, I hope you'll split a donation between Sherrod Brown and me to become a Founding Donor to our campaign. Our team just set an ambitious Launch Goal, so we're going to need a lot of help to reach that milestone and build all the momentum we'll need to win this race and keep Pennsylvania moving forward.

DONATE

Growing up in Montgomery County, my parents raised me with a core set of values: Work hard. Give back. Stand up for others. And folks, they led by example. As a pediatrician, my dad helped lead kids and families through the stress of challenging, uncertain moments. And as an educator, my mom taught me and so many other kids to care about the world around us.

Watching their work up close inspired me to follow in their footsteps — but in a different way. Instead of medicine or education, I wanted to help Pennsylvanians through public service. By cleaning up our government, solving problems, and making life better for the families I served.

That's what I did as a State Representative, when I helped pass some of the toughest ethics laws in Pennsylvania history. It's what I did as Attorney General, when I got justice for survivors of sexual abuse, protected health care access, and won in court dozens of times to defend our democracy. And folks it's what I'm doing right now as Pennsylvania's 48th Governor.

Together, we've cut taxes seven times, putting millions back into the pockets of parents, seniors, and small businesses. We've invested a record amount of money in public education and served over 90 million free breakfasts to Pennsylvania students. We've created over 18,000 jobs, grown our economy, and expanded opportunity across our Commonwealth. And yes, we've protected abortion rights, ensuring every Pennsylvanian has the freedom to access the health care they need.

But my work isn't finished. Pennsylvanians are facing unprecedented challenges with a White House hell bent on raising costs, attacking our freedoms, and undermining our democracy.

And this year, we have the chance to defeat the politics of chaos, division, and extremism that are making it harder across our Commonwealth. We have the opportunity to show the nation that hatred and division are not the way forward. That means standing up to the politicians who enable Donald Trump and JD Vance – even when they know their policies hurt Pennsylvanians.

Folks, let's keep moving our Commonwealth forward together. It's going to take a full team effort here, and the success of our campaign will come down to grassroots supporters like you. So I'm humbly asking: Can you join our team by rushing a split donation between Sherrod Brown and my campaign to become a Founding Donor?

Thank you so much for your support. Let's get to work.

Multiple huge donations from my billionaire opponent

He knows he can use his obscene wealth to completely blanket the airwaves with TV ads. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

$28 million.

That's how much our billionaire opponent has donated to his own campaign.

Here's the part that worries me. He hasn't stopped.

After giving his campaign an initial $20 million on launch, he must've seen that it worked—so he doubled down with another $8 million dollar contribution.

He is trying to buy this election. This wasn't a one-off donation to make a splash in this race. He knows he can use his obscene wealth to completely blanket the airwaves with TV ads—which he's already spent upwards of $17 million on.

We can't let him get away with this. I spent my time in Congress standing up to rich people trying to get their way, and I'm sure as hell not going to stop now.

We have to show him the most important governor's office in the country is not for sale.

This campaign has something more valuable than billions of dollars: thousands of supporters who will power us to victory. That's why I'm counting on you. Can you chip in $5 or more to my campaign today?

Can I get your feedback, friend?

Friend,

Have you ever taken a survey and felt like no one would read your responses?

Well I can assure you that this time, it won't be the case.

As we start this new year – an election year – I'm reaching out to the most engaged members of Team Murray to chart a course of action. The midterms are critical to disrupt MAGA's schemes for funneling billionaires more tax breaks at the middle class's expense, hold them accountable through massive midterm defeats, halt Trump's lawless agenda, and make Trump a lame-duck president as soon as possible.

But if Democrats are going to have any chance of winning back the House and Senate, I need to hear what's top of mind for some of the most engaged supporters like you.

That's why I've put together a brief questionnaire for you and 4,999 other top grassroots supporters to complete. Can you please take a moment now to fill out my 2026 Priorities Survey before it closes at midnight?

Take the Survey

Whether it's Trump's affordability crisis, his cruel attacks on health care, public education, civil liberties, the rule of law, and everything in between: I want to hear what's keeping you up at night.

Not only will your candid feedback help me keep fighting for you in the most effective way possible – it'll help me lay the groundwork as Democrats work to take back the levers of power from the GOP.

I'm listening, friend, so click here to add your voice to the conversation.

Thanks in advance for your help here,

I'm excited to endorse Dr. Amy Acton

Hi there, it's Sherrod Brown. I've got an important announcement to make:

I'm excited to endorse Dr. Amy Acton for governor of Ohio.

Before I go on, can you split a critical donation to both of our races? We're against billionaires who are more interested in serving themselves than Ohioans.

Look, Amy and I are running to serve Ohioans because we refuse to look away while politicians in D.C. and Ohio's Statehouse continue to rig the system for their own benefit.

I know Amy personally. She's a public servant through and through. Amy leads with kindness in everything she does, and that's what makes her an amazing leader.

But don't mistake her kindness for weakness – Amy is fierce. She grew up under tough circumstances, moving over a dozen times as a kid, not always knowing if there would be food on the table for her and her brother at night.

Amy is the leader Ohio needs right now. She's not a bought-and-paid-for politician who answers to billionaire backers. She's running because she wants to bring much-needed relief to hardworking Ohio families.

And luckily, recent polling shows that she is ONE point ahead of her opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy.

Vivek is a Trump-backed extremist who literally called Ohioans "lazy" and "mediocre." He's an out-of-touch billionaire who we can't trust to put people over profits. Together, he and my opponent, Jon Husted, are going to make this one of the most expensive elections to date.

That's why I have to ask: Will you join me in endorsing Dr. Amy Acton for Governor of Ohio by chipping in a split donation to our grassroots campaigns? Your early support will help us power our campaigns that serve Ohioans, not special interests.

On behalf of Amy and me, thank you for supporting our fight.

They can threaten my rank and my pension — but they’re not going to shut me up

Team:

Pete Hegseth decided he's going to censure me, and is threatening to demote me and reduce my pension.

I got shot at in service to this country. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission and launched to the International Space Station while my wife recovered from a gunshot wound to the head.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. Generations of servicemembers have done the same. Pete Hegseth wants to send a message to every single one that he will come after them if they say something he doesn't like.

You swear an oath to the Constitution when you join the military — including the First Amendment right to free speech. We swore to defend the foundational principles of this country. I took that oath seriously 40 years ago, and I still do.

Pete Hegseth can threaten to reduce my rank and my pension. But I am not going to let him intimidate me, or anyone else. He is not going to stop me from defending our democracy from a president who is hellbent on destroying it.

If they think this is going to shut me up, they've got another thing coming.

And if you're still with me, please: Split a donation between Kirsten Gillibrand and me so we can fight back.
