It’s official, friend: John Deaton, a well-funded Republican, has launched a campaign to run against me for Senate in Massachusetts.

Apparently, the MAGA Republican machine couldn’t find a single Republican in Massachusetts to run against me — so they brought in someone from Rhode Island who will have the backing of the GOP and special interest groups.

This much is clear: We’re up against national Republicans who are desperate to take back the Senate and pass Trump’s agenda. We’re up against their rich buddies who are trying to stop us from taxing the wealthy, regulating big banks, and making our government work for working people.

It’s going to take a strong grassroots movement to compete and win. Can you please split a donation of $5 or anything you can to support my re-election campaign and Jacky Rosen’s work? We need to respond to my opponent’s campaign launch with the strongest amount of grassroots donations to protect our Senate majority.

I’m proud of the progress we’ve accomplished for Massachusetts families so far — like lowering the cost of hearing aids, passing a new tax on massive corporations that were paying $0 in taxes, securing billions in funding for projects like an electric bus fleet and infrastructure repairs, and so much more.

But there’s plenty more to do for working people in Massachusetts and across the country. We’ve got to bring down the cost of housing. Put child care within reach for all working parents. Protect our Commonwealth from the climate crisis. Take power away from powerful interests like Big Pharma, Big Oil, and big banks and put it in the hands of working people — which means we need to root corruption out of Washington. And I’ve got the most sweeping set of anti-corruption plans since Watergate. 

This election is about who our government works for — and it’s about defending our democracy and our basic freedoms. I’m fighting to keep our Senate majority because if Republicans win any more power, they’ll restrict abortion access everywhere, even in blue states that have passed abortion protections — like Massachusetts. They’ll threaten voting rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, Social Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act — and they’ll reward the rich and powerful and embolden an extremist base across the country. 

So I’m staying in this fight to stop MAGA extremism, continue standing up to powerful special interests, and make real change for working people. Are you with me? 

Please respond to my opponent’s announcement with a donation of $5 or anything you can to support this campaign and Jacky Rosen. Grassroots supporters like you have helped defeat the GOP and special interests in the past, and I need your support again as we take on this new fight.

Thanks for being a part of this, 

Elizabeth
