Hello Kathryn,
During taping for the final debate, NBC 10 WJAR Moderator, Brian Crandall, asked candidates a simple question, in essence, what one word would you use to describe Trump supporters?
In a democratic primary, candidates used the expected divisive cliques of 'naïve'.
What did Walter Berbrick answer? Americans
"At the end of day, we are all Americans, and it is going to take us all to come together to have hard conversation so we can reach common ground for the common good.
It is how we progress as a nation and how you solve the divisiveness that plagues our politics today."
What was meant as a throwaway question is really the foundation of why we need Walter Berbrick in Washington D.C. Rhode Island can elect an insider to join the extremists club of A.O.C. and Bernie, or we can send a leader with the right credentials to bring solutions.
With just six hours before the start of a holiday weekend and the end of August, we are on the brink of knocking this month's door knocking campaign numbers out of the park.
With just five days till election day, your contribution is critical for one last big paid media push over the long weekend.
This race is wide open and we are in the final stretch.
THIS SPECIAL ELECTION IS DIFFERENT. We anticipate low voter turnout and have a concise, impactful strategy.
We do not need millions to win, we only need to reach our independent voter audience which we know will want to vote for Walter Berbrick. We only need to reach a small group of voters and in this time and place we can do it.
Please send whatever is right for you to Walter NOW! TONIGHT so we can make our final push in the morning before the close of business.
From the campaign trail,
Kate Cantwell, Campaign Manager
