Hi there — I have exciting news to share, and I wanted you to hear it from me:

I’m officially running for reelection to the United States Senate.

I know the road ahead won’t always be easy — election experts are already calling me one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats on the ballot next year. But with you by my side, I know we can get this done and win big next November.

So, will you help me start the first day of our reelection in the strongest position by splitting a donation between my campaign in Wisconsin and Kirsten Gillibrand today?

I’m so proud of the progress we’ve made in the Senate over the past few years, friend. We’ve lowered the price of prescription drugs, addressed the climate crisis with landmark investment in clean energy, expanded health care for millions of our veterans, and so much more.

A highlight of my time in the Senate was when the Respect for Marriage Act, my bipartisan bill to protect marriage equality, was signed into law late last year. That’s a moment I will never forget.

But there’s a lot more to be done, and I’m not willing to give up the fight to make things easier, better, safer, and stronger for hard-working Wisconsinites.

We have to protect Social Security and Medicare for millions of hard-working seniors who deserve the benefits they’ve spent their lives working towards.

We need to defend voting rights and protect access to the ballot box — we’ve seen the harmful impacts of right-wing extremists who try to deny election results and take away Americans’ right to safely and securely participate in elections.

And we need to re-establish protections for abortion access. After Roe v. Wade was overturned, I was devastated and angry, and I’m sure you were too. Wisconsin just took a huge first step in the right direction with our Supreme Court race last week, but we still have a long way to go toward making sure every woman has the freedom to make her own decisions no matter what zip code she lives in.

I remain hopeful that we can do all of this — and more — together. But it won’t be easy, especially if Republicans have it their way. Their views are becoming more out-of-touch and dangerous by the day, and I know for sure that they will come after my Senate seat with everything they’ve got. They’re already spending big on misleading ads attacking my record.

Folks, I’m no stranger to hard fights. I’ve been standing up for Pennsylvania’s working families and communities for my whole career, and I won’t stop now. There’s still more work to do to cut through the gridlock, take on the powerful special interests, and deliver real results for working families and children across our commonwealth.

But with you by my side, I know we can win. We’ve done it before, together, and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way this time around.

Will you stand by me again and split a contribution between my reelection campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand? It’d mean the world to me to have you with me from Day One.

Thank you so much, friend. I can’t wait to see you on the campaign trail, and I promise I’ll keep you updated on every step of this journey. So excited for what’s in store for us.

I’m so glad to have you on this historic team.

Let’s do this.

— Tammy
