Folks,
Back when Tina served as the Minneapolis mayor’s chief of staff, word got around about her iron will and aptitude for making tough deals behind the scenes when the cameras were off. A nickname was born: “The Velvet Hammer.”
Tina’s uncanny ability to develop personal relationships with political rivals, persuade people to do the right thing, and deliver tangible results even during stressful negotiations helps explain why Tina is in charge of the Clean Electricity plan in the budget reconciliation bill she’s negotiating right now.
As Democrats work to unite our House and Senate majorities for a common cause, Tina is doing everything she can in public and behind the scenes to make sure this transformative piece of clean energy policy becomes law.
She’s taking the Velvet Hammer approach to put this plan into effect so we can reduce the U.S.’s greenhouse gas emissions, cut costs for consumers, and finally start addressing the climate crisis.
Tina’s not the type to make bombastic statements to the media or draw attention to herself — it’s her determination and commitment to service, putting people and our communities at the heart of every negotiation, that makes us so proud to support her.
Can you chip in to ensure Tina and our campaign have the necessary resources to fight for climate solutions and take our message to the American people? Over the next 72 hours, we want to generate as many donations as possible before our first mid-month fundraising deadline of the new FEC quarter.

Passing the Clean Electricity plan won’t be easy, but with your support and Tina’s determination — it’s a viable possibility. Thank you for being a part of our grassroots coalition.
— Team Tina
