REUTERS: Trump ally Kari Lake to launch US Senate bid in Arizona

Later tonight, Kari Lake will launch her campaign for United States Senate.

Besides the day I launched my campaign here in Arizona, this is probably the most important day of the race so far.

I can’t win this race without help from groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Can you please split a contribution between the PCCC and my campaign for Senate in Arizona?

When I made the decision to run for Senate in Arizona, it was to take back this seat from Kyrsten Sinema. Replace her vote in the Senate with someone who actually cares about the people of our state.

That was reason enough for me.

But now, Kari Lake is running. The MAGA Queen. Someone who has no problem lying, spreading misinformation -- even calling for her supporters to commit violence on behalf of Donald Trump.

I lived through January 6th. I heard the shouts from the mob while I was on the House floor, barricading the doors and helping my colleagues evacuate to safety. I know what Kari Lake means for our democracy.

So today, this campaign is not just about getting another vote in the Senate. It’s not just about our priorities. It still is those things, but it’s about defending our democracy now, too.

And that is a lot of pressure. Trust me… I’m feeling it. I expect you are, too. But you are not alone in this fight. I’m with you, and thousands of others are, too.

Right now, a lot of people are making donations after Kari Lake jumped in the race. They’re hoping that you will join them. Because they know that is how we will win this race.

So please, I am asking you very humbly:

Can you please split a contribution between the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and my campaign for Senate in Arizona? Lots and lots of people adding donations is the only way we’ll hold the Senate. That’s the only way we’ll defend it from Kari Lake.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Ruben Gallego's campaign for U.S. Senate and PCCC's work to elect him and other progressives across the country.

Donate $10 immediately	Donate $20 immediately
Donate $35 immediately	Donate $50 immediately
Donate $100 immediately	Donate $250 immediately

Or, donate another amount.

There’s an old motto in the Marines: "First to Fight." That always stuck with me. And you have my word: I’m not going to back down.

I am proud to be in this fight with you, John. Thank you for your continued support.

Semper Fi,

--Ruben Gallego
