Team,

We know Lori reached out about our upcoming End of Quarter deadline, and we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has made a contribution so far.

The physical limitations of our current reality are not what we planned when we started campaigning for Lori’s reelection last year. We expected to be knocking doors, holding in-person events, and gathering support at town halls. But for the safety of our community, all of that has gone virtual.

However, moving our campaign entirely online doesn’t mean we can afford to slow down. In fact, your support now helps our team ensure we have what we need in the final stretch of this election year.

This is one of our last major fundraising deadlines before our election in November, and your support is crucial to keeping Lori where she is.

If you are able to, help us keep Lori fighting for the Third District by making a contribution before Midnight on Tuesday →

Thanks for sticking with us and for pitching in,

-- Team Trahan

Friends,

I started this year with the same promise I made at the start of my first term in Congress: to work tirelessly for the families of the Third District and hardworking people across the country.

But one thing I didn’t expect back in January is what that fight would look like as 2020 required historic urgency and relief from Congress. With that, I was proud to:

• Deliver economic relief to millions of Americans as the coronavirus caused record unemployment and small businesses to suffer.
   
• Provide emergency protection and support to our frontline workers who have helped pull our communities through this ongoing pandemic.
   
• Call for nursing home oversight to make sure our seniors and health care workers get the care and protection they need.
   
• Demand law enforcement reform and ending the indefensible use of force by police departments which disproportionately harms Black and Brown communities.

Everything we’ve seen in 2020 has exposed deeply flawed, unjust, and broken systems in our country’s framework. From healthcare disparities, to racial inequities in housing, education and criminal justice, to millions of people living paycheck to paycheck – vulnerable communities and hard working people are suffering as a result.

That makes our work that much more critical, team. And our work is far from over – in fact, it’s just begun.

As someone who chose to re-enter public service after years working in the private sector, the past few months have underscored why my decision was truly right for me. Tough times call for leadership, bringing communities together, and tangible reforms to provide people with desperately needed relief.

You sent me to Congress because I am up for the challenge, no matter how difficult. And that’s why I am asking you today to support my 2020 re-election campaign with a contribution before our June 30th deadline.

I can’t thank you enough for helping me do this work. And I can’t think of a more important time to roll up my sleeves and continue serving our community.

Gratefully,

Lori
