John,

Valentine’s Day should be a time to express our love and appreciation for the special people in our life who are always there for us. (Don’t panic, it’s not until Monday — you’ve still got time to pick up flowers).

But there is one person looming large on the political scene for whom there is only one true love — raw political power (and himself, okay that’s two).

We’re talking, of course, about the former guy, Donald Trump.

From his embrace of authoritarians worldwide — Putin in Russia, Orbán in Hungary, Bolsonaro in Brazil, Duterte in the Philippines, to name just a few — to his open contempt for the democratic values that have made the United States what it is, Trump’s heart has never been in the right place to lead our country.

We came terribly close to seeing Trump use the power of his office to overturn the 2020 election, and to this day he remains steadfast in claiming it could, and should, have been done. And as he supports candidates for the House and Senate in 2022, with Kevin McCarthy hellbent on winning the House majority, we have to show them that there is a love far greater than the narrow ambitions of small men.

Adam loves this country with all his heart, and his fidelity to the Constitution and our democracy are the guiding principles by which he fights for us in Congress every day.

No matter what the Fox News pundits, internet trolls, or the former president have to say about it.

But he can’t do this work alone, which is why we ask:

Will you pitch in $10 today to Adam’s re-election campaign so he can continue to fight for us and stand up to Trump’s lust for power? Adam’s campaign is built on small contributions, and yours is so important to getting the job done and keeping our majorities this November.
