Hey team,

I know this isn't the kind of email I usually send, but before we head into the final stretch of this election, I wanted to take a moment to tell you why I'm still in this fight. And when I'm done, I hope you'll chip in to help me win reelection this November and keep delivering results for Kansas' 3rd District.

Growing up, not many people would have looked at me and pictured a future Congresswoman.

My mom raised me on her own while spending 20 years serving our country in the Army. She taught me what hard work and responsibility look like — not by telling me, but by showing up and living it every single day.

I held on to those lessons when I worked multiple jobs to get myself through school. I held on to them through my work in economic and community development on Native American reservations. And I held on to them in 2018, when I launched a campaign to take on a four-term Republican incumbent in Congress.

Back then, plenty of people told me I couldn't win. In their eyes, an LGBTQ+ Native American woman and former MMA fighter didn't belong in Washington. But I didn't listen to the naysayers then, and I'm not listening to them now.

Because the naysayers haven't gone anywhere.

Over the past year, Republicans pushed to redraw Kansas' congressional map for one reason: To force me out of this seat. They came up short. Now, they're lining up behind yet another challenger, hoping to flip this must-win seat in November.

I ran for Congress because I believe our government should look more like the people it serves — working people, fighters, people with real-world experiences facing real-world struggles.

And over the past eight years, I've worked hand-in-hand with hardworking Kansans to deliver real results: Millions of dollars in infrastructure projects, thousands of clean-energy jobs, the most significant bipartisan gun safety law in a generation — and I’m committed to continuing that fight.

But our work is far from finished — and with less than seven weeks left until Election Day, I need everyone on this grassroots team stepping up and pitching in. If there's one thing my mom taught me, it's that hard work is good work. That's why I'm still in this fight — and if you're ready to stand with me, please chip in any amount to help us hold KS-03 and take back the House →

With gratitude,

Sharice Davids
