john, this is Lisa Blunt Rochester, and I’m running for U.S. Senate in Delaware.
This is the document that granted my great-great-great grandfather the right to vote in 1867 — and my sister Thea made it into a scarf. The significance of this is not lost on me – 146 years later, there are NO Black women in the Senate. I’m running to change that, but I can’t make history again without your help. Will you rush $10 or more to my campaign and Tina Smith’s so we can send another Black woman to the Senate, keep Delaware blue, and defend our Democratic Senate majority?
I carry the story of my ancestors with me every day.
The day I was sworn in, I carried that scarf.
It was surreal – knowing how far my family, and so many families of color, had come. All the way from being enslaved, to finally getting the right to vote, to being elected to represent the First State.
I also carried that scarf on the day of the January 6th insurrection. On such a dark day for our democracy, my scarf served as a reminder that every effort to undermine our democracy has been met with voices of power and reason.
And I intend to carry that scarf when I’m sworn in to the Senate.
If you’re ready to join our movement, will you please chip in $10 to my Senate campaign and Tina Smith’s? Every donation goes towards creating a more diverse and inclusive Congress and I sincerely hope you’ll get on board.
