I first ran for Senate because I saw how the system is rigged for the wealthy and well-connected and against everyone else. I won because Massachusetts voters know it too. Since then, our movement has been able to make positive change for working families, including: Getting student debt cancelation to President Biden’s desk, passing a new tax on massive corporate profits, lowering the cost of hearing aids, and much more.
I’m running for re-election in 2024 because there’s a lot more we’ve got to do in order to save our country from extremists and make real change for our working families. That means fighting back against the extremist MAGA movement and protecting our basic rights — like passing national abortion protections, strengthening our democracy by protecting voting rights, and defending LGBTQ+ rights.
It also means passing new policies that will make meaningful changes for working people. Policies like making multi-millionaires and billionaires pay a wealth tax on fortunes greater than $50 million. Ending the filibuster to pass national abortion protections and gun law reforms. Making child care and housing affordable. Protecting consumers from big banks. Rooting corruption out of Washington — including by getting Supreme Court justices to follow a basic code of ethics and preventing members of Congress from being able to trade or own stocks.
But powerful interests — billionaire CEOs, the crypto executives who haven’t been convicted of a multi-billion dollar fraud, you name it — have a very handy tool at their disposal: piles and piles of money.
They use their money to fund campaigns for politicians that will work in their favor. They use their money to hire armies of lobbyists that swarm Capitol Hill. They use their money to put the government on their side, all so they can make even bigger piles of money.
But we’ve got a powerful tool on our side too: a grassroots movement.
Grassroots supporters like you have made it possible to defeat powerful special interests in the past — and I need your support now in order to compete against a potential GOP challenger and win in 2024. So could you please rush a donation of $28 or anything you can to power my grassroots-funded re-election campaign? If the GOP gains any more power, they’ll work to pass their extremist agenda and actively reverse all the progress we’ve made together.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
