John -- It’s official! Charles Booker is running for Senate again, and he’s going to send Rand Paul into retirement.

Brand New Congress was proud to be the first national group to support Charles’ electrifying campaign in 2020 -- and he hasn’t slowed down a bit. Over the last year he has continued to build bridges across the commonwealth of Kentucky while lifting the progressive movement nationwide.

Charles is ready to win this race, and we are ready to help him replace Rand Paul in 2022!

Will you join us on this exciting day by splitting a contribution between Charles’ campaign for the people of Kentucky and Brand New Congress?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Here’s the hard truth, John. If more people had gotten behind Charles’ first Senate run as early as Brand New Congress did, he could have won last year. Now we have a second chance, and we can’t waste a minute of it.

Charles has captured the heart of Kentucky. We know he can win this race if we help him build a strong base of support right now.

Are you ready to send Rand Paul to retirement and elect a fierce progressive to the U.S. Senate?

Executive Director

Subject: I’m running for U.S. Senate

John,

Today, I’m excited and proud to announce that I am officially running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky — this time against Rand Paul.

I love Kentucky. We have so much strength, resolve, and potential.

When the pandemic hit, we showed up for our neighbors with groceries. When our sister’s door got kicked in, we marched. That’s what Kentucky is about: coming together to solve the biggest challenges we face.

That’s what this election has to be about too. Kentucky has too many politicians who work for the wealthy and the powerful, while they ignore the rest of us.

This will be an extremely competitive race. We’re one of only a few states with a Democratic governor and two Republican senators. So, it’s going to take a whole lot of grassroots donations for us to win.

John, if you’re ready to take back Kentucky’s seat at the table, will you make a contribution right now to help us replace Rand Paul?

Here’s something you need to know about me, John:

I grew up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky. Both of my parents had to drop out of high school to help take care of our family. I’ve had to ration my insulin; and I’ve been homeless. My mom often went without eating so that I could. I’ve lived the struggle other politicians only talk about.

But I know that my family wasn’t alone in their struggles. From the hood to the holler, we all share the same hopes, dreams, struggles, and fears.

This is an opportunity to take back Kentucky. The challenges we face are relentless, but I know the solution — it’s us.

Together, we can and will build a better, brighter future for everyone in our Commonwealth. One where we all have the same quality health care as our politicians. Where we have more money in our pocket, and breathe clean air and drink clean water. Where we can go to sleep safe and sound without worrying about our door being busted down.

That world is possible, but it will mean defeating politicians like Rand Paul standing in the way.

So, if you’re in, John, please make a contribution today to build our movement to take back Kentucky’s seat.

Kentucky is not a “red state.” It’s a disenfranchised state. It’s a commonwealth where a whole lot of people haven’t felt heard in a long time. It’s a place where the number of people who don’t vote outnumber those who do. If we change that, we will send Rand Paul packing.

Let’s make change,

Charles Booker
