Team,
Did you see this message? After our endorsed candidate Katy Padilla Stout’s neo-nazi opponent shared her personal Instagram account with his (terrifying) audience, she was flooded with hateful messages, including a death threat. And when she shared her experience on social media, he responded by saying, “Welcome to the thunderdome. We’re just getting started.”
This is what women face when they step into the political arena. An outsized amount of intimidation, harassment, and threats designed to frighten them out of public life. Help us support Katy’s campaign – and any added SAFETY measures she may need by chipping in TODAY → [link removed]
Women should not have to risk their safety simply to run for office. And the people who threaten them should not get to decide who holds power. Let’s show Katy we have her back.

Team,
Our endorsed candidate Katy Padilla Stout is running for Congress against Brandon Herrera, a gun influencer with millions of social media followers. (You can read more about him at the bottom of this email.)
After Herrera shared Katy’s personal Instagram account with his (terrifying) audience, she was flooded with hateful messages — including a death threat. Katy is a mother of four young children, a former teacher, and an attorney in child advocacy. She does not take death threats lightly.
When Katy spoke out about the danger he had unleashed, Herrera didn’t apologize. He doubled down. "Welcome to the thunderdome,” he said in an Instagram post. “We're just getting started,"
Make no mistake: This is what women face when they step into the political arena. An outsized amount of intimidation, harassment, and threats designed to frighten them out of public life.

But Katy is not backing down — and neither are we. In fact, this is further proving just how important it is to block Herrera and his dangerous followers from Washington.

Here’s more on Brandon Herrera for your reference:
Katy’s opponent, Brandon Herrera, is a pro-gun YouTuber and gun manufacturer. This district includes Uvalde, home to Robb Elementary School – where 19 students and 2 teachers were killed, and 18 were injured by a mass shooter in 2022.
He has stated that the only reason he is in the race was that the former congressman of this district signed off on a common-sense gun safety bill following that shooting (the 2022 Safer Communities Act) which expanded background checks and helped states implement red flag laws.
After that bill was passed, Herrera moved to Texas from out of state just to run for office in THIS Uvalde district in protest of gun restrictions of any kind….
Her Bold Move is the fastest-growing support network for women running for political office in America. As dangerous laws about women get passed in states with the lowest numbers of women in government (11%, 12%....), we're BREAKING the male supermajorities across those states.
Because men shouldn't be making laws about women's bodies.
