On Veep, I played Amy Brookheimer, Vice President Selina Meyer’s Chief of Staff.
My character was known for carrying her cell phone everywhere, and in a moment, I’m going to offer to record your voicemail if you donate to the Harris-Walz campaign today or donate to top Senate campaigns in presidential battleground states.
But first, here’s why I’m so eager for Kamala Harris to win in 2024.
I remember watching Senator Harris question Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings. She displayed such an impressive combination of competence, passion, and strength that I said to myself – out loud – "I want her to be my president!"
And here we are years later with the historic chance to elect a person of such fortitude and integrity. We need a president who respects the Constitution, obeys the law, represents us abroad with honor, and who has fought her entire career to challenge powerful interests and help families. I trust Kamala Harris will be that president. Donald Trump is the exact opposite.
With just one month left, the neck-and-neck polls are too close for comfort. It’s plausible we could have an Electoral College tie, which was supposed to be fiction when it happened on Veep. This would let Republicans in Congress pick the next president. (To quote our show’s creator, Armando Iannucci, "Why do they have an equal amount of electoral votes?!" Tell me about it.)
We need to pull out all the stops. Every day matters, every dollar matters.
BONUS: If you donate by this Friday (Oct 11) at 11:59pm Eastern, you'll be entered for a chance to win a voicemail message from me. I'll also record a voicemail for the three biggest donations on the above link. (If you have a favorite line from Veep, I’ll consider it. No promises.)
We also must keep a Democratic U.S. Senate in order to restore abortion rights and have a chance to pass laws making life easier for families. The Senate also confirms the Supreme Court.
Key Senate races are taking place in the presidential battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Nebraska (which may deliver the deciding Electoral College vote to Kamala Harris, breaking a tie).
If you donate on this Senate link by this Friday (Oct 11) at 11:59pm Eastern, you'll also be entered for a chance to win a voicemail message from me. I'll also record a voicemail for the three biggest donations on the above link. (No tellin' why you’d want a voicemail from me. It might confuse your loved ones. But if it saves democracy, I’m so game. 😉)
On the links above, please also donate to the PCCC as they help campaigns up and down the ballot mobilize voters in 2024.
One final point, as a mother of two raised in a lower-middle-class Chicago neighborhood by a single mom.
I know all too well how vital it is that we take care of all types of families in this country. Kamala Harris knows this, too. She cast the deciding vote on historic investments in the care economy. She announced action to lower child care costs for more than 100,000 families. She proposes a federal child tax credit, free school lunches for kids, paid leave, and cracking down on corporations that price gouge families on everything from groceries to rent to prescriptions to credit card fees.
I have confidence that in office, she won’t stop there if we donate to help her win and boost key Senate candidates in presidential battleground states.
Thank you for reading this email, and for being a bold progressive. Happy Voting!
