Hi, friend – Patty here.

Word on the street is that Trump likes to gift his favored staff and sycophants with ill-fitting pairs of $145 leather oxford dress shoes – because, and I quote: "I never liked cabinet members walking around in sneakers, you know?"

No, Donald. I don't. 

When I was a young mom, local officials planned to close my kids’ preschool program due to state budget cuts – but I took action. I packed up my two young kids and went to Olympia to urge my state representatives to save the preschool program. While there, one male legislator told me I couldn’t make a difference because I was “just a mom in tennis shoes.” 

But I didn’t let that stop me. I organized a grassroots coalition of 13,000 parents, and we saved the preschool program.

This showed me firsthand the difference local government could make if it were more like the people and families it represents. So, I laced up my tennis shoes and ran for the local school board, then the state legislature, and eventually the U.S. Senate. And each and every day, I fight to make sure working families have a seat at the table.  

All that's to say, I’ve gotten a lot of good done on the Senate floor in tennis shoes, despite what Trump would have you believe.

So if you agree that we need more moms in tennis shoes running the Senate – and fewer out-of-touch Trump wannabes sporting dress shoes – then I'm counting on you to lace up your shoes and join me in the fight to flip the majority blue:

The map and the money are stacked in MAGA's favor this cycle, so I need consistent grassroots support between now and November. Your help is the only way to build the resources it'll take to wrench back the levers of power from the ultra-wealthy, oxford-wearing few. Will you please chip in anything you can spare today to help us get off on the right foot?

Thank you for walking alongside me.
