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 as the first woman and person of color running to represent Delaware in the Senate. So before I go on, will you split a donation between me and EMILYs List to help me make history, keep Delaware blue, and maintain our Democratic Senate majority?

As this election year ramps up, I can't help but reflect on what electing someone who looks like me would mean to little girls everywhere. It would've meant a lot to 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, 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.

Invest in women so we can continue to make a positive impact on our country, John. But in order to win, I'll need some serious help. Will you split any amount you can between our campaign and EMILYs List and help us keep Delaware blue in November?

With you,

- Lisa
