Today I am filing to run for re-election to the U.S. Senate because I believe so strongly in a vision of America that stands for opportunity and justice for everyone, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or which side of the railroad tracks we live on. That America is under threat, but I know that together we can take on the powerful and deliver for the people.

Will you help me kick off this campaign by donating $3 or more to our "We the People" Fund? 100% of these donations will be dedicated to building our grassroots organizing efforts.

The 2020 election marks a historical crossroads. Since 2016 we have seen the reality of a Trump Presidency and a McConnell Senate. They have packed the courts with unqualified conservative judges. They have extinguished Lady Liberty's torch and locked children in cages. They have fostered hate and bigotry, empowered polluters, taken away people's health care, cozied up to dictators abroad and shunned our allies.

I believe that our nation is better than this, because I've been the beneficiary of America's possibility. After all, I grew up on stories of my grandmother living in a boxcar, yet I was able to go to college and be elected to the U.S. Senate. I still live in the same blue collar neighborhood I grew up in, and see how much tougher it is today for many of my neighbors.

I am running for re-election because I want to fully invest in a future where we stomp out corruption, invest in the building blocks for working families to succeed, and address climate chaos by building a green energy economy.

Will you stand with me to kick off this campaign with a roar of enthusiasm? I want to jump into this race by showing Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, and their superpac backers that we're operating at full speed.

Our vision of a nation that gives everyone a chance and joins together to invest in our shared future is being shredded by powerful special interests who have spent decades rigging both our economy and our democracy to amass wealth and power. We see the Supreme Court and Republicans in Congress and the administration single-mindedly twisting our institutions in their own favor. We need a grassroots movement to overcome their money and advantages, and that's why I'm so grateful for your support of our "We the People" Fund.

With your help, I'm totally committed to winning my own re-election and throwing myself into my mission for 2020: Ditch Mitch, Dump Trump, Save America!

We face an awesome challenge and I need you with me. Chip in $3 right here.

Thank you for investing in our grassroots organizing plan and this vision for our future by making a contribution to my campaign.

Onward!

Jeff
