I hope you and your family are well. I want to stress this: Your health and safety are the most important thing.

But November will be here before we know it, and it is even more critical that we take back the Senate. Some of you have reached out to ask how we can help in this current situation.

My recommendation, friends - pick a Senate race to support.

Mitch McConnell has refused to take action on critical issues like improving access to health care and combating the effects of climate change.

We can change that by winning the Senate, but to do that we need to keep every seat we can -- and that includes my friend Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan.

I know not everyone is in a place where they are able to give right now, but if you are, please consider contributing to Gary’s campaign today.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and split between Gary Peters and Brian Schatz:

As a veteran and a tireless champion for Michiganders in Congress, Gary has shown what it means to be a true leader for nearly 30 years. He has worked to strengthen the economy and the middle class by creating jobs and growing small businesses, and he’s protected consumers from predatory behaviors on Wall Street.

But President Trump and Republicans have set their eyes on winning in Michigan and have thrown their full support behind Gary’s Republican opponent.

It’s going to be one of the most competitive Senate races of 2020, and Gary needs our help. If you can, please make a contribution today.

Mahalo and stay safe,

Brian
