Here’s how I see this: We need to keep making bold change as a country. Not a nibble here, a piece over there. Big, systemic change. The kind of change that will make this government reflect the will of the people.
We’ve seen what we can accomplish when the American people elect champions for working families.
We overcame swarms of financial industry lobbyists to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has put $16 billion back in the pockets of Americans who’ve been cheated.
We beat Big Pharma by allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices for the first time.
We passed the biggest-ever investment in fighting climate change, which is set to lower carbon emissions by 40 percent.
I’ll be the first to say there’s more we’ve got to do, including codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law. If we can come together and expand our Senate majority, and if we can take back the House, we can make more transformational change — not just by the skin of our teeth, but as an unapologetic Democratic majority.
So I’m running for re-election to stay in the fight.
If you’re in a place to make a contribution, can you donate $28 or whatever you can to help build our grassroots movement, win our re-election campaign, and build a government that works for working people? Your support before the September fundraising deadline would be a huge help.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
