John,

In 2018, Chris Pappas made history when he was elected as the first openly LGBTQ+ person to represent New Hampshire in Congress. And in 2022, Vermonters followed suit when they elected me as their congresswoman.

As representatives from neighboring states, LGBTQ+ leaders, and fierce advocates for the protection and expansion of LGBTQ+ rights, we must stick together. Chris consistently faces Republican challengers who are anti-choice, anti-worker, and anti-LGBTQ+ – and he will once again need our help to keep his competitive seat blue in 2024. John — will you split a contribution between Chris Pappas and me to help us keep fighting for the fundamental freedoms of all Americans in Washington?

SPLIT A DONATION

As our LGBTQ+ communities face an onslaught of attacks — ranging from hateful legislation to violence — it’s more important than ever that we uplift LGBTQ+ trailblazers and leaders. Chris and I are two of just 11 openly LGBTQ+ members of Congress, so we know how critical it is that we stand up for our communities and protect and expand LGBTQ+ representation in Congress. 

During his time in Congress, he has helped introduce and pass the Equality Act in the House, supported enacting the Respect for Marriage Act into law, and led the SERVE Act to guarantee VA benefits for LGBTQ+ veterans.

Despite his strong record, Chris is no stranger to tough races. Just last year, he narrowly defeated Karoline Leavitt — a former Trump aide, anti-abortion extremist, proud election denier, and advocate for anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Chris is sure to face another tough race this cycle, so we need to support him!

John, can you rush a split contribution to my campaign and Chris Pappas? Together, we can continue to increase LGBTQ+ representation in Washington and keep fighting to achieve true equality.
