Earlier this week, voters in Georgia headed to the polls to vote in their primary election, and while predominantly white communities were able to vote without issue, predominantly Black communities encountered issues with voting machines, a shortage of ballots, and long wait times that stretched more than four hours in some cases.

What happened in Georgia should serve as a wake-up call ahead of November. We must do everything we can to protect voting rights for all Americans and that includes instituting a universal vote-by-mail option.

I'm committed to defending all Marylanders' voting rights and the integrity of our elections, but if we don't build the resources to defend this seat come November, I won't be able to. I'm relying on the generosity of grassroots supporters like you to continue my fight in Congress.

If you can, will you make a contribution to strengthen our campaign for the fight ahead?

While some states have begun to lift stay-at-home orders, local officials are still asking folks to practice social distancing and wear masks to protect from the coronavirus. Voting by mail is a common-sense solution that will keep voters safe and healthy as they cast their ballots.

I'm fighting in Congress to ensure everyone can safely vote by mail this November and to ensure the security of our elections going forward. But I won't be able to continue that fight beyond 2020 if we don't have the resources to build a winning campaign.

If you can, will you chip in so I can continue to fight to protect voting rights and safeguard our free and fair elections?


Your friend,
