This is going to be a long email about our January 6th trauma.
If you’re not ready to talk about it or don’t have time to read the whole email, I understand. But if you could still chip in a split donation between my campaign and Elect Southern Democrats to help me jumpstart this race, I’d appreciate it >> [link removed]
If you’re still reading this, I’m assuming you’re ready. Let’s talk about our trauma. You and me.
What conversation has been dominating the media, the government, occupying our courts, and our daily conversations? And even separating friends and families?
On January 6, 2021, we were inches from watching democracy crumble right before our eyes.
January 6, 2021.
The ripples from that day still threaten our democracy. The lives of election workers – the backbone of our electoral systems – are being threatened online via hundreds of messages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by those who would disrupt our elections:
“Watch your back.” “I know where you sleep.” “Be afraid.”
Because I speak out about these challenges to our democracy, I get the same threatening messages. “We know where you live.”
Yet MAGA representatives in Congress continue to claim our elections are being rigged.
The only difference between your January 6th trauma and mine is where we were when we experienced it.
I was at the Capitol immersed in a profane mix of sweat, screams, shrieks, anger, fear, blood, death, broken limbs, spit, hatred, horror, racism, bigotry, and heroism.
Capitol and Washington Police officers fought for our lives, the lives of fellow police officers, and the nation's elected leaders – it didn’t matter if they were a Republican, Democrat or an Independent. They were the men and women we sent to Washington to govern our nation.
It was our duty to protect them. And our democracy.
While Donald Trump, then our nation’s Commander in Chief, did nothing to help us for three hours after inciting the violence himself – we were beaten bloody. And some of us died.
Even though my experience looks different from yours, I am first an American citizen. A girl dad. A football lover. A voter. This is my country – our country.
That day was a stain on our nation. And we need to fight like hell to make sure we NEVER repeat a day like that. I’ll continue to use my voice to protect this country. I’ll stand up to the lies, hate, and bigotry. I will always stand my ground to make sure democracy exists.
So I’m asking you to stand with me. We will get through this trauma – we will get through this nightmare – but only if we stand together. Can I count on you to contribute a split donation between Elect Southern Democrats and my campaign today?

Thank you for supporting our fight to elect southern Democrats,
Friend.
We believe in a simple principle: when Democrats vote, Democrats win.
That’s why we’ve been organizing for Democrats in the South to win back
the House and save the Senate in 2024.

From Stacey and Beto’s breakthroughs in 2018, to Joe Biden’s historic win
in Georgia in 2020, and Raphael Warnock’s victory in 2022 which expanded
our Senate majority, Elect Southern Democrats has mobilized dozens of
expert field staffers and grassroots organizers to change the tide all
across the South.
Now, we’re gearing up to protect the seats we fought so hard to win and
fight even harder for those that we must flip.
But southern Republicans are working around the clock to suppress the
votes of millions to defeat us this election.
We cannot let Republicans win. We must fight back!
