Hi John, it's Lisa Blunt Rochester – do you have a sec?
I know our campaign for Senate means a lot to so many people. The significance of it isn't lost on me – especially as we celebrate Women’s History Month – and I'm fighting hard to make sure we win in November. So before I go on, can I ask that you chip in $10 or more to our campaign to help us do just that?
This Women’s History Month, and every single day beyond, I celebrate all of the women who are stepping up to make a difference in the face of some of the most critical challenges our planet is facing. The stakes are so high, and so many women aren’t just helping tackle these challenges, but they are leading the charge on solving them.
From moms demanding action on gun violence to young women standing up for our planet, women are creating positive change everywhere. In Congress, I am working to protect our reproductive freedoms, close the racial gap in maternal mortality rates, and shine a spotlight on menopause health and awareness.
With all that’s at stake in 2024, this race means a lot to so many people across the country.
This race means a lot to me, too. Especially younger me.
I grew up knowing very few role models that looked like me in government, so I made it my mission to change that. When I set my mind to something, it gets done.
As I reflect during Women’s History Month, I can't help but to look back at my younger self and think of what helped me get here. It's the support from so many women – role models, family members, friends, and so many more – who helped me feel empowered to lead in Congress, and now run for Senate.
We need to continue to invest in women because when women are empowered, the world is a better place. Our world, our power.
