John, you deserve an explanation.

With just 3 days remaining until my August fundraising deadline, I want to make sure you understand why these emails are so important to our ability to fundraise — and by extension, win.

Many of my Senate colleagues on the Republican side accept campaign donations from corporate lobbyists. From Big Pharma. From the fossil fuel industry.

Their presidential nominee Donald Trump does the same. He even openly solicited a $1 billion donation from the fossil fuel executives at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.

I don’t take their money, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I rely on members of this team, including you, John.

This election is going to mean everything for the future. For abortion and voting rights. For gun safety. For our climate.

I’m working to help reelect my Democratic Senate colleagues and help us win up and down the ballot so that President Kamala Harris and a Democratic Congress can address the needs of the American people, not the special interests and megadonors bankrolling the Republican Party. Can you pitch in $10?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Because I don’t take donations from corporate lobbyists or executives in Big Pharma and the fossil fuel industry, I really do depend on donations we receive from these emails.

So thanks for reading, and donating if you’re able.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
