John —

My good friend Adam Schiff asked me to reach out and give you an update about our fight in the Senate to protect voting rights and make our democracy stronger. And to tell you why we can’t win this fight alone.

I was just appointed to the Senate this year to fill the vacancy of Vice President Kamala Harris. With no time to waste, I immediately got to work to defend this seat in 2022 and hold our Democratic majority in the Senate.

Every day, I’m working to reform the immigration system, make healthcare universal through Medicare for All, and fight climate change by passing a Green New Deal. We have to deliver. That’s what people voted for in 2020.

But Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have made it clear they will govern from the minority and are using the filibuster to prevent our country from moving forward and passing any major legislation.

That’s why I’m more convinced than ever that we should eliminate the filibuster – right now.

Ending the filibuster in the Senate and maintaining our majority in the House is the best shot Democrats have to deliver on our big, bold progressive agenda. I refuse to let the GOP block our progress at every turn – not at a moment this critical. But I can’t do it alone.

Today, I’m asking you to split a contribution between our campaigns. We’ve got so much work to do in the coming months, and your support sends a powerful message that we can succeed — with or without the filibuster standing in our way.

In my career, I’ve been a Los Angeles City Council President, a California State Senator, California’s Secretary of State, and now California’s first Latino U.S. Senator.

And in each of those endeavors, success meant finding a way forward together. This campaign will be no different. This fight against the filibuster will be no different. And our fight for progress will be no different.

I am so thankful to know we’re in this together. Thanks for having our backs.

— Alex Padilla
