For the first time in seven years, the Senate held a committee hearing on a bill that would grant D.C. statehood. In fact, John, this was only the second Senate hearing ever on D.C. statehood.

That’s remarkable -- and it wouldn’t have been possible without our Democratic Senate Majority. 

If we’re going to make D.C. statehood a reality along with so many other important policies, then we need to elect Senate Democrats who will protect and expand our Majority. And we can’t do it without grassroots supporters like you. That’s why today I need to ask you to split a contribution between the DSCC and my campaign before the FEC deadline.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be split between Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Thomas Carper:

Thanks to our Senate Majority, we’re closer than ever to making Washington, D.C. our country’s 51st state and correcting a longstanding injustice that has denied nearly 700,000 tax-paying Washingtonians full voting representation in their democracy.

But the fact is our Democratic Senate Majority is incredibly fragile.

Washington Republicans only need one seat to retake the Majority, put Mitch McConnell back in power, and stop progress on not only D.C. statehood but scores of other important pieces of legislation, too, including ones combating voter suppression, addressing climate change, and rebuilding our economy.

Grassroots support is our first line of defense for protecting our Senate Majority and the progress we’re building in Congress, and one of the biggest fundraising deadlines of the year so far is tomorrow. If you can, please consider splitting a contribution between the DSCC and my campaign so we can build a strong grassroots organization for 2022.

Keep fighting the good fight,

TC
