Friend,

When I'm not in the Senate working hard for American families, you can often find me on the road riding my Harley-Davidson motorcycle. In fact, every year around this time, I ride across Michigan on my bike.

Now, I know that when folks think of a senator, they probably don't picture someone riding a motorcycle down a highway in rural Michigan. But trust me: There's no better way to meet voters and understand how our work in Washington impacts families back home than hitting the road on my bike and meeting folks face to face.

That's why I founded the Senate Motorcycle Caucus – because I think if more of my colleagues in Washington met the people I do while riding, we could get a lot more done for families across the country.

I wish I could spend all my time working on legislation in Washington or out on the road talking with folks about the issues they care about. But as chair of the DSCC, I have fundraising goals to worry about, too. You see, this cycle, Democrats are on the defense in tough states like Nevada, Montana and right here in Michigan. If we don't hit our fundraising goals now, we won't have the resources to defend all of these critical seats and protect our Senate majority.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today. We're still 89 grassroots memberships short of our goal, and I noticed that you haven't activated yours yet. Please, friend, will you donate $5 now to renew your 2023 Democratic Membership and protect our Senate majority? 

Thanks so much for standing with me.

See you on the road,

Gary
