Tragically, under current law, an inmate on death row can be stranded with no procedural options to stop their execution, even when there is compelling new evidence that he or she is innocent. The current justice system is failing these death row inmates, many of whom have been able to prove their innocence when given the chance.

We need legislators like Hank who perceive these injustices and work to correct them — so that all Americans are given a fair chance. Unfortunately, as America’s divisions widen, hardworking, thoughtful lawmakers like Hank are harder and harder to find. That’s why we’re asking you to step up and contribute to Hank’s re-election campaign. We simply can’t afford to lose his leadership.
