Friends -
Earlier today, my friend Charles Booker announced he’s running to replace Rand Paul in the United States Senate. Now, I’m writing to offer my whole-hearted endorsement of Charles and to ask if you can help out his campaign today.
Last year, Charles ran an inspiring, unabashedly progressive pro-Green New Deal campaign in the 2020 Democratic primary. Despite being outspent 10-to-1, he closed the gap by nearly 40 points in just a few weeks to come up just a hair short in the final primary results.
Now, he’s back again, this time running to defeat Rand Paul. I’m 100% in for Charles, and with the Senate at 50-50 it’s critical that we compete everywhere we can. That’s why I’m asking for your help today:
Our fight for justice — climate, health care, racial, economic, education — is growing stronger each and every day. But you and I both know we’re going to need a lot more elected officials in Congress willing to stand up and fight to make our agenda a reality. The only way that happens is when our movement rallies around progressive champions like Charles.
Right-wing special interests and their dark money allies will throw the kitchen sink at a candidate like Charles running in a state like Kentucky. We’ve got to be there — as a movement — to have his back.
Thank you in advance for your support today. It means a lot to me — and to Charles — to have you with us.
In solidarity,
Ed Markey
