Friends -

We need to win a number of seats in order to take back the Senate this November, and this year, there are more races and states on the board than anyone thought possible.

We have three unabashedly progressive candidates who could flip seats in historically Republican states: Marquita Bradshaw, Merav Ben-David, and Paula Jean Swearengin. Having them in the Senate would be a huge victory for our movement, but they need our support to compete in these final weeks.

Can you split a $3 donation between their campaigns for Senate and my re-election? Every dollar will go directly toward turning out progressive voters and make a huge difference for our grassroots campaigns.

Each of these women understands the impacts of climate change firsthand. They’ve all seen the devastation and understand that this is an urgent, existential threat to our planet.

Marquita Bradshaw (TN-Sen) is a Tennessee native and environmental justice activist. Raised in South Memphis, Marquita’s career and service have spanned labor, environment, education reform, tax reform, trade policy, and social justice work. She personally experienced the devastating effects of growing up near a Superfund site, and it’s that experience that drove her to raise awareness and fight for environmental justice so that our poor and most vulnerable communities can have a clean and safe environment.

Merav Ben-David (WY-Sen) is a climate scientist whose background ranges from managing the family farm to serving in the military to studying wildlife in Kenya to overseeing scientific expeditions to the Arctic. Merav understands that the problems Wyoming and the country face call for a bold vision, one informed by facts and a long-term perspective, and one that a scientist like her is uniquely poised to lead.

Paula Jean Swearengin (WV-Sen) is the daughter and granddaughter of coal miners and has been fighting for a better West Virginia for decades. She believes that it's time the Mountain State had a U.S. Senator that works for the issues impacting West Virginia families and is focused on doing the people’s work by fighting for progressive ideas. She will be on the frontline of the fights to end the opioid crisis, pass the Green New Deal, and secure health care for all.

If elected, these progressive Democrats will champion economic, racial, and environmental justice in the United States Senate. With our help, they could secure major victories for our movement.

Split a $3 contribution among Marquita, Merav, Paula Jean and my re-election today to help us flip the Senate. Each donation sends a powerful message about our progressive movement’s strength and our will to pass the Green New Deal in 2021.

Winning these races would put us another step closer to passing the Green New Deal and the rest of our progressive agenda. Your support of our campaigns today would mean the world to me.

- Ed Markey
