Hi friend, Rebecca Cooke — daughter of dairy farmers and the newly-elected Democratic nominee in Wisconsin's 3rd District!

I JUST won the primary, and am now working to unseat Derrick Van Orden in this key battleground race for House control. To kick off our General Election push, I wanted to re-introduce myself:

A lot of folks are surprised to learn that while I’m running a full-fledged campaign by day, I’m waiting tables at night to help pay the bills.

I grew up in a working-class family, and we weren't strangers to taking on extra work when things got tough. I know for a fact I’m not the only person in WI-03 wearing multiple hats to make ends meet — which is a big reason why I’m running.

The way I see it, the ultra-rich have enough advocates in Washington. It’s the folks working two jobs to pay for groceries and make rent who need help. I know what working families need, because I’m part of one.

We’re officially on to November, but we have to act fast to make up the special interest money Derrick Van Orden has banked. Can you split a donation of $24 between me and WisDems to help flip WI-03 blue?

This is a campaign by and for the hard working people of Wisconsin. We’re not funded by family inheritances or wealthy donors. It’s grassroots contributors like you who power this movement.

Thank you for in advance for your support,

Rebecca
