Growing up, my grandmothers were the bosses of our family. Mama Katie and Mama Mary were two tough-as-nails women, and they weren’t afraid of anyone. They taught me to always fight for what’s right and put the steel in my spine to win the toughest fights. |

As attorney general, when I saw the big banks preying on vulnerable families after the 2008 financial crisis, I knew I had to act and I was ready for that fight. I didn’t care how big and powerful they were – I held the banks accountable and forced them to pay $1.9 billion to the Nevada families they hurt. It’s what my grandmothers taught me to do. |

When I first ran for Senate, Mitch McConnell and his allies spent over $50 MILLION to defeat me. The pundits and pollsters all doubted that I could win — but I never backed down and I gave as good as I got. On Election Day, I won by 2 points and became the first Latina ever elected to the Senate. It’s what my grandmothers taught me to do. |

Now, I’m facing my toughest fight yet. A third new poll shows me trailing my Trump-endorsed opponent, and I’m still $6,112 short of today’s crucial fundraising goal. But with your help, and the fierce fighting spirit I learned from my grandmothers, I know we can win. |

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues! |
