Hi,
My team told me we’re just $3,892 short of hitting our February
fundraising goal.
They suggested I reach out and tell you why you should chip in to our
campaign before the deadline tonight.
So I’m going to share my story with you. It’s important that you know why
I jumped into this fight to defeat Rand Paul if I’m going to ask you to
give whatever you can to support our grassroots movement.

grassroots campaign and help us hit our critical $50,000 fundraising goal
tonight? We’re relying on donations from emails like this to power our
people-first campaign.

I grew
up in one of the poorest ZIP codes in Kentucky. Both of my parents had to
drop out of high school to help take care of my brothers and sisters. We
sometimes had to go without heat in the winter or air conditioning in the
summer. My mom often went without eating so that I could.
But my family wasn’t alone in their struggles.
We’re just a single example of the thousands of families in Kentucky
who’ve been left behind by politicians who have used their power to only
benefit themselves.
So I got involved in public service because I believed Kentuckians
deserved better and that things could get better. I became the youngest
Black legislator in Kentucky in 90 years. I ran for Senate in 2020 against
Mitch McConnell and everyone in the media started to talk about what we
were building in Kentucky.
I see progress happening — but I know there’s still a lot of work ahead of
us to transform the future of Kentucky.
So now, we’re taking our movement to Rand Paul. From the deadly COVID
misinformation he’s been spreading, his refusal to pass anti-lynching
legislation, and the record number of bills he’s proudly blocked that
would lift up working families in Kentucky — it’s clear that Rand isn’t in
the Senate to help us.
He’s there to help himself and make a quick buck with his influence in the
Senate.
I’m done with this cycle of failed leadership — that’s why I’m running for
U.S. Senate. I know what it’s like to
choose between affording insulin or groceries, to struggle to make ends
meet. My family taught me to take care of our neighbors. And my promise is
to bring these lived experiences to the U.S. Senate so we can finally pass
the urgent policies our families need.
Our campaign’s momentum is on the rise — but it’s critical we reach our
fundraising goal tonight so we can continue spreading our message to every
corner of Kentucky and grow this grassroots movement. [ [link removed] ]Will you chip
in $5 or anything you can to help close the gap before
midnight tonight?

Thanks for reading my story. I hope it moved you to chip in.
