John,
Charles is currently on the road, right now, in Kentucky — meeting folks where they're at and listening to what they need in their leadership.
Jamaal is excited to be one of the first members of Congress to support Charles’ campaign for the Senate. Charles is a proven leader who understands the struggle and understands the movement — and we know he'll bring much-needed change to a state where there hasn't been change in a long time.
One of the best parts of our progressive movement is our ability to uplift folks not only in our backyards, but all over the country, from New York to Kentucky. So we have to ask: will you please chip in $3 to our movement and support our campaign and Charles Booker?
Despite being heavily outspent 10-to-1 by the establishment-backed candidate, Charles nearly pulled off an upset in the Democratic primary last year. And this time around, as long as our movement mobilizes behind him, we can win.
The Senate continues to be behind the times and is in sore need of change. Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell are poor representations of Kentucky in the Senate — and their actions are not only continuing to harm Kentuckians, but also our democracy.
But if Charles wins, and if we send him to Washington, he will legislate and lead boldly in the Senate — to abolish the filibuster, win our progressive agenda, and save our democracy. And with the Senate divided 50/50, it's urgent that we expand our majority and elect the kind of leadership that's sorely lacking in the Senate this year.
In solidarity,
Team Bowman
