Here's My Mission: Taking Back Congress.

Give me just one minute of your time. I promise it’ll be worth it. I want to share where I stand, what drives me, and why I believe you should stand with me.

It’s February 27 — and Donald Trump is poised to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico next week. This reckless move will inevitably raise costs for all of us, hitting families right where it hurts the most. It’s almost laughable to think that the very people who voted for him, promising lower grocery prices, are now facing higher bills instead.

But here’s the hard truth: This moment isn’t what we imagined.

I’ll be honest — by now, I thought I’d be serving alongside President Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C., working on digital strategy to drive lasting change. I thought I’d be in the White House, fighting for the future. But life doesn’t always follow the script.

We can sit back and dwell on what could have been, or we can rise. We can pick ourselves up and push forward, just like Kamala Harris would want us to. I know what you're thinking: “Johnny, we just fought this fight. We lost. I’m tired.” Trust me — I feel that too. But we’ve done the impossible before, and we can do it again.

Civil wars? We persevered.

Recessions? We persevered.

Depressions? We persevered.

Insurrections? We persevered.

Now, we face the biggest fight of them all: Dictator Trump. This is the next chapter in our fight — and it’s time to rise to the occasion.

That's why I’m reaching out to you today. I’ve committed to this fight fully. I left everything behind — my work, my home, my friends — to go all-in on this mission. Today, I’ve moved hundreds of miles away into a congressional district that is one of the most competitive in the nation. I’ll be knocking doors, making calls, and working relentlessly to flip this district blue and take back the House Majority.

It may sound crazy. But too often, we wait for someone else to make the change we need — and we can’t afford to wait any longer. That’s why I made this huge leap. I know Pennsylvania inside and out. I served as Governor Josh Shapiro’s social media manager, worked on campaigns from the State House to the White House, and helped win races that seemed impossible.

And here’s something else: I became one of the youngest people in Pennsylvania’s history to win a Democratic Nomination. I also became the youngest LGBTQ+ person to do so.

This fight? It’s one I’m ready to win.

But I can’t do it alone.
