Hello John — This is Bradley Whitford, who you may know as Commander Joseph Lawrence in the Handmaid’s Tale. Or Josh Lyman in the West Wing.
But today, I’m emailing you as an American deeply concerned with the state of our democracy.
When Donald Trump became President in 2016, the fictional world of Gilead was starting to look a lot more realistic in America.
Demonization of immigrants, attacks on LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, and the targeting of the press are just some of the ways that Trump’s America was mirroring fiction on TV.
Flash forward to the 2024 election and Donald Trump is the GOP’s frontrunner in the election. Again.
With the threat of Trump being elected, there’s no one I trust more in the Senate to stand up to Trump – and for our democracy – than Adam.
I’ve spent years speaking out against Donald Trump and his MAGA lackeys across the country. And some days, it can feel like it’s been literally decades.
But while Trump tried to dismantle our democracy and destroy our institutions, Adam was there, leading the resistance. Diving into the big fights.
Holding Trump to account for his actions. Bringing truth to light. And speaking out — loud and proud — against those who undermined our Constitution. In fact, he still is today.
That’s why we need Adam Schiff in the Senate.
Because while Trump may no longer be president, his presence in our politics is stronger than ever — with so many of his sycophants in the Congress.
With Trump enablers like Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, and Rick Scott in the Senate, it’s more important than ever to have powerful, proven voices speaking out against them in the chamber. That’s Adam.
We need champions in the Senate who will fight for voting rights, for Supreme Court reforms, for action on the climate crisis, for reproductive freedom, and for gun safety. That’s Adam.
We need someone who can stand up to the relentless MAGA attacks and come out stronger, someone who can build a successful grassroots movement capable of taking on Trump and his cronies. That’s Adam.
We must win this fight and elect Adam Schiff in California’s U.S. Senate race. I need you to join me and add your support.
I’m personally asking you: Will you make a contribution of any amount to Adam’s U.S. Senate campaign today so that he can combat the MAGA movement’s attacks, win this election, and lead the fight for progress in the Senate?

I’ve always spoken up strongly for the causes and people I believe in, and this U.S. Senate election is no different.
I am tired of seeing critical Senate legislation stifled by a filibuster rule that doesn’t even appear in our Constitution. I am tired of the paralyzing fear of inaction as there are more mass shootings, wildfires, abortion bans, and attacks on our fundamental freedoms.
So I’m doing something about it, and I hope you’ll join me.
Please, rush $3 or whatever you can spare to help Adam fight back against the MAGA movement’s attacks, win this Senate race, and elect the Democratic majorities we need in Washington to make the change happen.
It’s up to all of us to create the change we want to see — and I believe that starts with helping Adam Schiff win this election in California.
Let’s not let America become Gilead.
Thank you,
Bradley Whitford
