Today, I just received my biggest endorsement yet from none other than President Barack Obama.

That’s right. Under two weeks out from the most important election of our lifetimes, President Obama just endorsed our grassroots campaign for the U.S. Senate here in Mississippi. Here’s what he had to say:

“Mike Espy has a great chance to win this election for the Senate and keep Mississippi moving forward. You were finally able to change the flag. Now, you can change your Senator, too. Mike Espy for Senate and Joe Biden for President. It’s your time to be heard.”

What an honor to have the endorsement of the 44th President of the United States of America. President Obama governed with dignity, effectiveness, and empathy. I welcome his endorsement and look forward to serving in the Senate with these same values.

But first, we need to win this race and defeat Cindy Hyde-Smith. That’s where you come in.

With just under two weeks until Election Day, will you make a contribution of $10 or whatever you can afford today to keep up our Get Out the Vote efforts in the final 13 days of this race?

Thanks for helping power our campaign up to this point. Let’s finish the job these last two weeks and win big so we can move Mississippi forward.

This is no easy race, but I know in my heart that we can win. Because just like President Obama always says, “Yes we can.”
