Dear John,

I hope this email finds you well and rested after the long weekend. I spent my Labor Day weekend busy connecting with voters. I was in the West Liberty Labor Day Parade in Logan County and the Richland County Labor Day Parade, which was organized by Norm Shoemaker, the President of the Mid-Ohio Area Central Labor Council and one of the leaders of our United Steelworkers Local 3057. I also visited several fairs.

To be honest, I’m exhausted, but I don’t stop, and I haven’t stopped in two and a half years. I literally work on this campaign 7 days a week because saving our country from extremists and unseating Jim Jordan is THAT important to me.

The girls and I dressed up as Rosie the Riveter to represent the continued need for women’s equality in the workplace.

As we return from the weekend, I’d like to reflect on all that organized labor has achieved for our great nation and the critical work that lies ahead of us.

As I stood among the hardworking men and women of Richland County at their parade, I was reminded of the immense dedication and sacrifice that built our nation and Ohio. From the steel mills of Youngstown to the auto plants of Toledo, Ohioans have always known the value of a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. It was an honor to march alongside them, feeling their passion and commitment to the cause.

This summer has truly been "Hot Labor Summer", a term coined by labor activists to describe the massive uprising of labor this summer which plays on popular internet memes.

We've witnessed inspiring victories and seen the power of collective action as workers from coast to coast stood up for their rights. From the Screen Actors Guild historic strike, the UPS’s threatened strike and contract victory, to successful union organizing efforts at Starbucks, the labor movement is roaring back to life, reminding us of the essential role unions play in protecting workers' rights.

However, as we celebrate these victories, we must also remain vigilant. Congressman Jim Jordan, our opponent, continues to advocate for "Right to Work" laws that have already done tremendous damage to America and Ohio’s unions. These laws undermine the collective bargaining power of workers and have a direct negative impact on their wages, benefits, and working conditions. We cannot let these destructive policies go unchallenged.

Let's make this a "Hot Labor Fall" and come together to defend the rights and dignity of every American worker. Together, we can ensure that the American Dream remains within reach for every family, no matter where they come from or what they do for a living.

But I can't do it alone. To continue this fight, I need your support. Every dollar you contribute helps us reach more voters, organize grassroots efforts, and take the message of workers' rights to every corner of our district. Can I count on you to chip in?

I am committed to fighting for the rights of American workers and ensuring that our nation returns to its past of being a stronghold for organized labor. Together, we can stand up to those who seek to break the back of the labor movement and protect the rights of every worker in America.

Thank you for your dedication to this cause and for your continued support. Together, we will create a better, fairer, and more just America for all workers.

In Solidarity,

Tamie Wilson
