I'm used to being written off, John.

When I first ran for Congress in Wisconsin in 1997, no one thought I could
win — especially when an extremely popular challenger jumped into the
race.

I remember huddling with one of my staffers at the time, and she said,
“Well, Tammy, maybe you want to rethink what you’re doing because it’s
going to be tough.”

I looked her right in the eye and asked, “Do you think I should wait my
turn?”

The next thing I said was this: I believe that women have to run —
especially when it’s hard — and not wait our turn. We can’t wait until we
get a tap on our shoulder or we’ll never get anywhere.

I ended up winning that race and became the very first woman elected to
the House of Representatives from Wisconsin. And it wouldn’t be the last
time our team would make history.

When I ran for U.S. Senate in 2012, an incredible team of grassroots
supporters like you fought alongside me — even as some people wrote us
off. You helped me become the first woman elected to the chamber from our
state and the first openly gay Senator in our nation’s history.

In 2018, despite being a top target for national Republicans and enduring
over a year of attacks, you stood with me again, and we won re-election by
double digits.

Time and again, grassroots supporters like you have defied the odds. The
battle to protect this seat in 2024 will be no different, and it will
require all of us working together to overcome the millions of dollars
right-wing mega-donors will spend to defeat us and hand the Senate
majority over to Mitch McConnell.

Together, I know we can defy the odds once again. So John, I’m
humbly asking: [ [link removed] ]Will you help us protect this seat and the Senate
majority with it by splitting a donation today between my campaign in
Wisconsin and No Dem Left Behind?

Your support has made all the difference time and time again, and I can’t
thank you enough for that.

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

- Tammy
