Friend --

The right to vote is fundamental to American democracy.

As we prepare for an election this fall while continuing to fight the COVID-19
pandemic, it's critical we do everything we can to safeguard that right. It's
time for Congress to act -- and in doing so, we can take lessons from the
successes of the past.

27 years ago today, the National Voter Registration Act -- more commonly
referred to as the "Motor Voter Act" -- was signed into law. It allows Americans
to register to vote whenever they apply for a new driver's license or anywhere
that provides public assistance, making voting easier and more accessible for
millions of Americans.

Vote-by-mail should be the next step. Washington state has already demonstrated
how successful it can be, and implementing it nationwide would make voting
accessible to millions of people without forcing them to choose between their
vote and their health. I'm fighting hard to make that a reality, but I need your
help:

If you believe, like I do, that vote-by-mail can work everywhere and should be
a priority for this November's election, add your name right now to support a
safer, more accessible democracy for all.

This initiative and this work are often hailed as "progressive" -- but it should
be about bipartisan progress, not red vs. blue.

Americans have a constitutional right to the ballot box, no matter which party
they vote for, and the Motor Voter Act recognized that by making it easier to
register to vote. Now we need to take another step forward and have nationwide
vote-by-mail. Fifty million Americans already vote by mail, and here in
Washington state we all do. It's safe, easy, and effective.

If you agree, join me in calling for nationwide vote-by-mail this fall: Add your name right now.
