Hello there,
After a violent pro-Trump mob of right-wing extremists stormed the Capitol on January 6, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul forced a Senate vote to throw out Trump's impeachment trial before it even began, opening the door for Trump's eventual acquittal.
Just last week, Rand Paul doubled down on Trump's Big Lie by claiming the courts never gave Trump a fair hearing on his baseless fraud allegations.
Rand Paul is one of the most dangerous Republicans in the Senate, and we're ready to defeat him next year.
Charles Booker, a bold progressive who previously served as the youngest Black state lawmaker in Kentucky, has launched an exploratory committee to challenge Paul and fight for the "people in the forgotten places."
We can't think of a better way to fight Trump's dangerous legacy than by replacing an insurrectionist like Rand Paul with a progressive voice.
While Paul blocked legislation that would have made lynching a federal hate crime and voted against the COVID-19 relief package, Booker is focused on bringing progressive priorities like criminal justice reform, affordable health care, and a Green New Deal to Washington.
That's the kind of leadership we need now more than ever. But we won't lie to you -- this will be an uphill battle. Rand Paul just secured Donald Trump's endorsement, and the money is flowing in.
But progressives made incredible strides in 2020 because people like you stepped up to support fresh, bold leadership. Booker has made clear: "Those folks building walls between us? They're scared now. They saw how close we came to shifting the scales, our forward motion knocking them on their heels." We say it's time we topple the GOP.
We're setting a goal to raise $5,000 in the next 24 hours to show progressives like Charles Booker that they'll have the grassroots support they need to defeat powerful Trump-backed Republicans. Listen, you helped us build a transformative movement for change before, and we hope we can count on you to keep the progress going. Will you rush us anything you can right now to give Rand Paul a run for his money? >> [link removed]

While responding to skeptics, Charles Booker said, "We have not seen a potential candidate like me challenge someone like Rand Paul in Kentucky's history. So, if anyone thinks that this is the same old, they are not paying attention."
Thank you for paying attention -- and for helping us seize this opportunity.
