Friend,

Michigan holds the keys to Voting Out Trump. But that’s not all.

Former State Rep. Gretchen Driskell is running for Congress to defeat a Tea Party Republican who represents so much of what we're fighting against.

Gretchen’s incumbent opponent voted against the Violence Against Women’s Act, against raising the minimum wage, against lowering prescription drugs prices, and to eliminate the Affordable Care Act.

He’s even voted to “phase out” (AKA destroy) Social Security and Medicare.

Read the email below from my team about why I need Gretchen in Congress fighting by my side. Then donate to her campaign today to defeat a right-wing Republican incumbent and Vote Out Trump between now and Election Day.

Investing in Gretchen’s campaign today will allow us to reach even more Michigan voters in the homestretch of this election.

Thank you for all you do to defeat hate with love and action.

Friend,

Gretchen Driskell has unseated a Republican incumbent before, and she’s running to do it again.

In 2012, she flipped a State House seat blue and spent two terms investing in infrastructure, clean water, and a government that works for all of us.

Now she’s running for Congress against a Tea Party Republican who voted against the Violence Against Women Act, has slashed education funding and suggested we get rid of the Department of Education, and infamously said that if climate change exists then “God will take care of it.”

With our support, Gretchen’s team can not only defeat this right-wing GOP incumbent, but also invest in more voter outreach in the critical swing state of Michigan—meaning more people turning out to Vote Out Trump!

Donate now so Gretchen Driskell can flip an important district blue and make sure that the state of Michigan Votes Out Trump!

Gretchen’s been a public servant for decades, starting out on city council and becoming the first woman to become mayor of Saline, Michigan—where she served as the city’s longest-running mayor and revitalized the downtown, landing Saline on lists of the best small towns in America.

After two terms in the State House, she’s running to join Rashida in Congress representing Michigan’s 7th congressional district.

We need to defeat her opponent, Tea Party Republican Tim Walberg, who has voted against lowering the cost of prescription drugs and wants to eliminate the Affordable Care Act.

He also voted to phase out Social Security and Medicare, and suggested that Social Security should be privatized and is a ponzi scheme. He voted against workers’ rights, raising the minimum wage, and more.

Meanwhile, Gretchen Driskell is standing up for working families and everyday Michiganders. She supports universally accessible and affordable healthcare, and wants to protect and strengthen Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. She’s fighting PFAS contamination and other environmental injustices.

But she needs our help. Let’s send her to Congress to fight for us all, alongside Rashida.

Please donate now to support Gretchen Driskell and her campaign’s crucial voter outreach efforts in the battleground state of Michigan.

Thank you,

Team Rashida
