I wanted you to be the first to know how incredibly proud and thankful I am to receive the endorsement of Julián Castro, a real champion for the people.
Like Julián, I am so grateful that my family had the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. It’s a dream that feels far too out of reach today and one we are working tirelessly to bring closer to reality for millions of families like ours.
Julián and I also share a desire to create a pathway to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants and their families living in the United States.
This is something I am deeply passionate about and ready to fight for in the Senate. That’s why I introduced my first bill in the Senate called the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act that would provide a pathway to citizenship for over 5 million undocumented essential frontline workers.
These progressive reforms may make me a top target of some far-right Republicans who would love to defeat me and eliminate our majority in the Senate.
But I know that if all of you have my back just like Julián, we are going to win this race and defend our majority.
I’m excited to have earned the support of someone like Julián who feels just as strongly as I do that the American Dream should be achievable no matter who you are or where you came from.
I can’t thank him enough for supporting us early on. His support matched with yours will give us the boost we need to win real change in Congress.
Thank you for your support,
—Alex
