Friend, as I step off the stage at the historic Democratic National Convention in Chicago, I wanted to take a moment to share this note with you:

In Michigan, we share Vice President Harris’ vision for our country: strengthening the middle class, boosting wages and cutting costs, supporting unions, and helping families not only get by, but get ahead.

As vice president – and with the help of a Democratic Senate majority – Kamala Harris has already made profound progress on these issues, including saving 1 million union pensions thanks to the American Rescue Plan. And if we want to continue delivering for working families, we have to do everything we can to help her win and keep the Senate blue.

Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can so Democrats can win in November?

I know how life-changing unions can be for hardworking families. I myself was raised in a union household – my father was a teacher and my mother was a nurse’s aide. When I was growing up, my parents were able to give my sisters and me everything we needed to follow our dreams – all thanks to the better wages and benefits that they received because of their unions.

With Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s dedication to the working people of this country, I know that they’ve got our backs.

But hey, don’t take my word for it. Just take a look at their record: Alongside President Biden, Kamala has successfully lowered prescription drug costs, brought manufacturing jobs back to America, and passed legislation to build new roads and bridges across the country.

Our continued progress depends on this election. That’s why I’m asking for your help tonight: Will you make a contribution of $5 so that we can continue on the progress we’ve made, stop Trump, and protect our Senate majority?

Thank you,

Gary Peters
