Friend, I’m running for re-election in one of the most competitive seats in the entire country, and the GOP is already spending money against me. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to our end-of-month fundraising goal. But if you don’t have time to read this email right now, can you please chip in before you click away? My dad immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in 1950. He believed in the power of hard work to make a difference. He worked in the fields, served two tours in Vietnam, and took a union job to provide a path into the middle class for our family. While we didn’t have a lot growing up, my family believed that through hard work, you can achieve anything. It took me seven years to graduate college – and I juggled multiple jobs, from painting houses to pouring coffee – but I put in the hard work and earned that degree. My daughter was born 18 years ago, and my family’s hard work gave me the determination that I needed to leave the world a better place for her. That’s why I stepped up to join the Oregon legislature. As a state legislator, I fought for more affordable health care, helped Oregon begin to tackle our climate crisis, and passed the nation’s most progressive paid family leave bill. It takes hard work to get these things done, but I was determined. I’ve brought that same level of determination to Washington. I’m proud to fight for families just like mine in Congress, but I need your help. My team and I set a goal to raise $8,000 before midnight tonight, because that’s what we need to raise to stay competitive in this race. Republicans are already running attack ads against me, so we can’t afford to fall behind now.
Thank you, Andrea Salinas
