Folks, can I tell you a story?

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. So that’s exactly what I did.

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

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. But with Republicans eager to roll back our progress on LGBTQ+ rights and more, I'm asking you again:

Will you help me continue to make a difference in the U.S. Senate by pitching into my reelection campaign today? I’m counting on your support to keep up this fight and defend the progress we’ve made.
