Jeff Merkley To our team -- we decided to send a light-hearted email today, because we thought folks could use a light-hearted email. But we also know that a lot of people in this community are facing uncertainty and hardship. We see you. We are here for you. And we are committed to fighting alongside you to make sure no one is left behind in this crisis. We are in this together. Election MMXX A RENEWED HOPE. It is a dark time for the nation. Although the PRESIDENT'S derelictions of duty are clear, MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL'S SENATE continues to prop up the ADMINISTRATION, and undermine opportunities for a free, fair, and SAFE election. We need to implementnationwide vote-by-mail. We need to uphold voting rightsfor every American.And we need to keepDOUG JONES in the SENATE. Chip in, you might? Not only is today May the Fourth, but it's also DOUG JONES'S birthday! While Doug and the rest of the SENATE DEMOCRATS are back in Washington fighting for us, we wanted to take a moment to thank SENATOR JONES and show him we have his back. The force for progress and change is strong with DOUG JONES. He's spent his career upholding civil rights and equality, and fighting for a government that works for the PEOPLE, not the POWERFUL. A scrappy band ofDEMOCRATIC GRASSROOTS DONORS can help us keep DOUG JONES in the Senatewith a donation today --please chip in $5.40 now,if you can. May the Fourth be with Doug Jones, and with each and every one of you as well. Be well and stay safe, -Your nerdy (and grateful) friends on Team Merkley
