Hi folks, it's Mikie.

On January 6, 2021, the U.S. Capitol was attacked in an unprecedented assault on our democracy.

On that day, I stood in the House Gallery, with a gas mask in one hand and my cellphone in the other. Like many of my colleagues, I called home to my family to tell them I loved them. We were all unsure what would happen next.

Now, Donald Trump is calling that dark day a "day of love." Let me be clear: that wasn’t love — it was violence, destruction, and a threat to the peaceful transfer of power.

I won’t let this dangerous rhetoric go unchecked. I’m working every day to protect our democracy and hold those who undermine it accountable — from my GOP opponent to Donald Trump and JD Vance.

But folks, I can’t do this all alone. Right-wing billionaires — including the world’s richest man, Elon Musk — have upped the stakes by spending hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Donald Trump and prevent Democrats from taking back the House. We’re counting on your support to push back against their lies and chaos.

Can you chip in $10 to help us defend our democracy and go all-in for Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and flipping the House blue in these final 8 days before the election?

Together, we’ll ensure the truth prevails — and keep those responsible for January 6 out of power.

Thank you for standing with me.
