When I was 9 years old, I got sick, really sick. I was hospitalized, but since my grandparents were the ones raising me and because our family’s health plan didn’t cover grandkids, they were forced to pay out of pocket for my three month hospital stay.
I got better, but the insurance companies didn’t. They refused to cover me at any cost because I was marked “child with a pre-existing condition.”
We all have stories like this, stories about a time when the system was rigged against us. When we were counted out, left out, and pushed out. And each story begs this simple, fundamental question: What kind of country do we want to be?
I think we know the answer to that question, because most of us want the same things — good schools in our neighborhoods, racial justice, the freedom to love who we want, dignity in our work, and an economy where small businesses and working families thrive. And over the past few months, we’ve added another to that list: a nation free of COVID-19.
That’s why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the only answer in this election.
I worked with Joe Biden to make sure kids and grandkids — if they are dependents — could stay on their parents’ health insurance until they are 26. We got that done, and it was a big deal.
That’s the America I know, that’s the America I love, and that’s the America we will be with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House. A nation that plans, a nation that builds, a nation that builds back better.
So if you can, please add a donation of $10 or more as we prepare for the most important election of our lifetimes on November 3. Your contribution will put us on the path to flipping Wisconsin and winning the White House. Thanks in advance.

This November, let’s move forward and never look back.
Thank you — for everything.
