Chris will never stop fighting until we secure equal access to voting for every American!
Last night, Senate Democrats unanimously voted to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Not ONE Republican voted for those two bills to protect our democracy. NOT ONE! But we fell two votes short in our effort to bypass the undemocratic filibuster rule, and call for a simple majority vote on voting rights.
As frustrating and painful as that loss is, that filibuster vote reflected enormous progress. Just two months ago Chris was one of only a handful of Senators willing to support ending or amending the filibuster rule to pass these critical bills. Last night we lost that vote, but we were only two votes away.
I t’s more critical than ever that we make sure Chris can continue the fight to protect our democracy and advance our values in the US Senate. Please CLICK here to become an Official 2022 Re-Election Campaign Member today. [[link removed]]
As the author of the original DISCLOSE Act, Chris is a longtime champion of getting dark money out of politics and protecting our democracy from big money special interests and billionaire SuperPacs. He’s never been afraid to stand up for what's right.
With Mitch McConnell and his corporate donors set on pulling their hand-picked candidate, Larry Hogan into this 2022 campaign, it’s critical that we have the resources to fight back, re-elect Chris and expand our majority.

Subject: how would you define patriotic?
Our ears perked up Sunday when on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Larry Hogan replied to a question about his reported plans to run for Senate against Chris by saying that 'people' were telling him it was his "patriotic duty" to run. But it’s no secret who those ‘people’ whispering in his ear are.
As the Baltimore Sun wrote last week, “the call for Hogan to run is not coming from Maryland, it’s coming from inside the Beltway.”
The truth is that Mitch McConnell and his billionaire donors are going all-out to get Larry Hogan into the race against Chris to help Mitch win back the Senate gavel — and stop all progress. Can we count on you to pitch in now to make sure Chris is ready to fight back, win, and defend our Senate majority? [[link removed]]
You may remember some of McConnell’s particularly “patriotic” moments, such as the time he abandoned Senate precedent to block President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court and then later shredded Senate norms to ram through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett. Or what about when he used the filibuster to block the Senate from voting on bipartisan legislation to form an independent commission to investigate the January 6th attack on our democracy?
And later today, Mitch plans to once again use the Senate’s current anti-democratic filibuster to block a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!
It's pretty clear what McConnell means by “patriotic” — and he wants Larry Hogan to join him in these efforts in the US Senate. We need to be prepared to fight back and keep Chris working for us and for our democracy. We can't let them flip this Senate seat and bring Mitch McConnell back as majority leader.
Will you help Chris be ready for their big-money attacks by chipping in now? Any contribution will be a big help! [[link removed]]

Mitch McConnell is looking for allies, so it’s no wonder he would reach out to Larry Hogan. Hogan opposed the American Rescue Plan, which provided urgent relief to families, workers and small businesses across Maryland. And, like McConnell, he's fighting against the Democratic plan to cut prescription drug costs and the cost of child care while closing tax loopholes that benefit big multi-national corporations.
That’s exactly the kind of guy Mitch McConnell and his big money SuperPACs like putting their wallets behind.
And we need to be prepared to fight back and keep Chris in the Senate working for us and for our democracy. We can't let them flip this Senate seat blue and bring Mitch McConnell back as majority leader.
