I’m used to being written off,
friend.

When I first ran for Congress in 1997, nobody thought I would win. And
when an extremely popular challenger jumped into the race, we faced an
uphill battle.

I remember huddling with one of my staffers at the time, and she said,
“Well Tammy, maybe you want to rethink what you’re doing because it’s
going to be tough.”

I looked her right in the eye and asked, “Do you think I should wait my
turn?”

The next thing I said was this: I believe that women have to run —
especially when it’s hard — and not wait for permission. We can’t wait
until we get a tap on our shoulder, or we’ll never get anywhere.

I ended up winning that race and became the very first woman elected to
Congress in Wisconsin. It wouldn’t be the last time this team would make
history.

Because when I ran for U.S. Senate in 2012, folks like you fought
alongside me — even as they wrote us off. You helped me become the first
woman elected to the chamber from our state and the first openly gay
Senator in our nation’s history.

In 2018 and 2024, despite being a top target for national Republicans both
times, you stood with me again and we won re-election.

Time and again, grassroots supporters like you have defied the odds. The
fight to undo the damage that Donald Trump has caused and make real change
in Washington will be no different.

Over the years, our team has weathered just about every storm — from
outside groups spending millions against us to nasty right-wing attacks —
only to get back up and keep fighting.

I’m so grateful to have you on this team.
