John, can I share something with you?

When I came out in college, I knew I was interested in a career in public service, but I feared that I would have to face a serious choice between pursuing the field of my dreams or living my authentic life openly.

Seeing others in the LGBTQ+ community demonstrate acts of courage by coming out, being themselves, and being public about who they are and who they love — I came to realize that I could do both. I could run for office and be honest about who I am. And that’s exactly what I did.

When I became the first openly gay Senator in our nation's history, I understood that I needed to use this extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. From lowering prescription drug prices to protecting same-sex marriage through the Respect for Marriage Act , I’ve worked hard every day since to do just that.

That's why I ran for office in the first place — not to make history, but to make a difference. And folks like you supported me because you wanted to make a difference, too. Now, I'm asking you again:

Will you help me continue to make a difference by splitting a donation between my reelection campaign and Democratic Values today? I’m gearing up for my most competitive race yet and I would love to have your support. [[link removed]]

Despite the incredible progress we’ve made in the fight for equality, we’re still facing constant attacks on our freedoms.

Last year, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade , Justice Clarence Thomas called for Obergefell v. Hodges — the case that established nationwide marriage equality — to be “reconsidered.”

And just last month, the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority ruled that businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans.

It’s going to take all of us to counter these right-wing attacks so that everyone in the LGBTQ+ community knows they belong — and that kindness and inclusion, not hatred and division, are American values.

I promise to keep up the fight as long as I can, and I’m hoping you’ll support this important work by splitting a donation between my reelection campaign and Democratic Values today. [[link removed]]
