Our democracy is under tremendous strain. Republican attacks on access to the ballot, support for Trump's false and destructive Big Lie, refusal to reprimand violent, anti-government members in their ranks or denounce the January 6th insurrection have created a dangerous and toxic environment that threatens our electoral process and our future.

And as we approach a midterm election that could shape our country for generations, the stakes of what we do are sky-high. We simply cannot afford to fall short as we work to defend our democracy and push back against those that seek to do it harm.

That's why I'm asking for your help now to ensure we meet our end-of-year FEC goal at midnight tonight and are prepared to fight back against whatever Mitch McConnell throws our way in this re-election campaign. Please pitch in whatever you can here before tonight's critical deadline!

I've committed my life to making sure we have a government that works for the people, not the big money special interests. That puts me right in the firing line of Mitch McConnell and his allies, and that's fine with me – but I can't do it alone.

I need your help to ensure we are prepared to keep this Maryland Senate seat Blue in 2022 and protect our Democratic Senate majority.

Thank you for being part of this.
