Hi there, can I share something with you?

When I came out in college, I knew I was interested in a career in public
service. But I feared that I would have to face a serious choice between
pursuing the field of my dreams or living my authentic life openly.

After seeing others in the LGBTQ+ community demonstrate acts of courage by
coming out, being themselves, and being public about who they are and who they
love, I came to realize that I could do both:

I could run for office and be honest about who I am -- so that's exactly what I
did.

When I became the first openly gay Senator elected in our nation's history, I
understood that I needed to use this extraordinary opportunity to make a
difference in people's lives. From lowering prescription drug prices to
protecting same-sex marriage through the Respect for Marriage Act, I've worked hard every day since to do just that.

That's why I ran for office in the first place -- not to make history, but to
make a difference. And folks like you supported me because you wanted to make a
difference, too.

I'm facing my most competitive and expensive re-election yet, so I can't keep up this work without your help. Will you help me continue to make a difference by splitting a donation between Chuck Schumer and my re-election campaign today? [link removed]

We have made incredible progress over the years in the fight for equality -- but
folks, we cannot mistake that progress for a total victory.

Republican-led state legislatures across the country continue to pass harmful
legislation, especially targeting the transgender community and LGBTQ+ youth. In 2024 alone, 515 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the country.

It's going to take all of us to counter these right-wing attacks so everyone
grows up knowing they belong, and that kindness and inclusion -- not hatred and
division -- are American values.

This Pride Month, I'm hoping you'll support this important work by splitting a donation between Chuck Schumer and my re-election campaign to send me back to the United States Senate. [link removed]

Thank you for your ongoing support. Let's recommit ourselves to work towards the
day when all LGBTQ+ Americans can live in a world where they feel safe,
accepted, and loved.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈
