John,

No one expected me to run for elected office -- and not many people expected me to win either.

But thanks to supporters like you I was elected to the U.S. Senate. Every day since then I’ve been working hard to deliver progress for the American people.

I’ll be on the ballot this November and the funds we raise now will determine the strength of the campaign we can run. Can I count on you to donate to my reelection campaign?

Our daughter Abigail and me

My dad and me

I’m the daughter of a teacher and a newspaperman and the granddaughter of an iron ore miner. I have always been guided by the values I was raised with in Minnesota -- and I’m powered by the idea that the work we do in the Senate can make a real difference in people’s lives.

That’s why I’m running for reelection. I’m so grateful that this grassroots team has always had my back -- will you make a quick donation straight away?

I can’t thank you enough.

-- Amy
