Hi friend,  Mark Pocan here -- Member of Congress
from Wisconsin and Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus.

I'm reaching out to ask you to make a $10 donation
for my friend and colleague Eric Sorensen before his final FEC deadline of 2023
hits. But first, I want to share more about my background and why I'm so
invested in retaking the U.S. House.

I'll never forget my first campaign for Dane County Board of Supervisors.

I remember because I had news articles about me mailed back to my campaign
office with ‘dead fa***ot’ scrawled over my face. That wasn't my first run in
with homophobia, nor would it be my last.

I'm not the only Member who faced bigotry on their path to Washington. 

Before Eric made history as the first openly-LGBTQ representative from Illinois,
he was pushed out of his first job as a weatherman in East Texas -- just for
being gay. Management was clear: 

“We can’t have a gay meteorologist at channel 7, Eric.”

We’ve made massive strides for LGBTQ rights since, but the fact is our current
Speaker Mike Johnson wants to reverse our progress by decades. 

He's on record supporting the criminalization of sexual acts between consenting
LGBTQ adults. He thinks the ‘homosexual agenda’ will destroy society and likened
being gay to pedophilia and bestiality.

I can’t think of a stronger rebuke of Johnson than re-electing a strong Democrat
like Eric Sorensen -- an openly gay meteorologist who has done nothing but care
deeply for his IL-17 community.

So I'm asking: can you please send in a contribution to support Eric's campaign?
With his final FEC fundraising deadline fast-approaching, he can use all the
help he can get.
