Growing up, this little girl learned that through hard work, she could break barriers and achieve anything she set her mind to.

So when she got older, she wrote this letter to Senator Tom Carper asking for a summer internship in his Wilmington office. With a baby on her hip and a toddler in tow, she went to work serving Delawareans. That office instilled in her the importance of a government that works for everyone.

From that internship, she went on to serve as a cabinet secretary under two Delaware governors. Then, in 2016, she made history and became the first woman and first person of color to represent Delaware in Congress.

From college to Congress, people have doubted that a Black woman could overcome the odds. Lisa has proven them wrong every time, and she knows that with your help, she can do it again.

Right now, there are NO Black women in the Senate. Lisa is running to change that – but with Senate control on the line, it won’t be easy. Will you rush $25 or whatever you can to help Lisa make history, keep Delaware blue, and defend our Democratic Senate majority? We have to publicly report our fundraising numbers at the end of the month, and we must stay on track to reach our end-of-quarter goal.
