John,

These past few weeks, I’ve been reflecting on this election season.

We reached historic accomplishments, including electing the most diverse Senate in history, and your dedication has meant the world to me.

However, I also want to recognize what we’ve all been feeling the past few weeks.

Many of us have felt a whirlwind of emotions — shock, hurt, anger, fear, and pain.

We’re already getting a preview of what’s to come from Project 2025 and Donald Trump as he appoints numerous inexperienced loyalists to serve in his cabinet.

But as we read the headlines, and experience these feelings, we must remind ourselves that a setback doesn’t equate to defeat, John.

As we move forward, we need to brace for the uncertainties — but we also need to prepare to stand up and fight for what we believe in. We may not win all battles, but every little bit of progress is a step forward.

Now is the time to care for each other, build stronger communities, and spread kindness. Our purpose lies in doing as much good as we can.

Despite the political landscape, we are not powerless — and sticking together is crucial.

Cory is depending on this team to support him as he prepares to stand up to Trump and defend our rights and freedoms. Can I count on your support before our final mid-month fundraising deadline of the year? Your generous $10 contribution will help me defend our rights and freedoms and take back the Senate:
