Hi there, 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 $25 or more between me and Ayanna to help me make history, keep Delaware blue, and maintain our Democratic Senate majority?
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.
With you,
Lisa
