Hi John, it’s Senator Tammy Baldwin.
When I came out in college, I couldn’t imagine someone like me running for office, let alone winning. But earlier generations paved the way for me and other LGBTQ+ candidates to get to where we are today. Our stories won’t be erased by right-wing extremists like Ron DeSantis.  As Governor of Florida, DeSantis has signed some of the nation’s most draconian and hateful policies into law — including a book ban targeting stories written by or about LGBTQ+ people. One of his most recent bans targets a book because it simply mentions that I was the first openly-gay U.S. Senator elected in our nation’s history. I’ve spent years fighting back against anti-LGBTQ+ extremism from right-wing politicians like DeSantis, and I won’t quit until all LGBTQ+ Americans are free to be who they are and love who they love without fear. Advocating for our rights and freedoms in the U.S. Senate has never been more important. That’s why I’m personally asking you to split a donation between my reelection campaign and Defeat Republicans today. With your help, we can defend our Democratic Senate majority and continue to fight back against anti-LGBTQ+ extremism.
Thank you for stepping up today. Your support means the world to me. — Tammy Baldwin
