Welch for Vermont

Hello,

I always wish Washington were more like Vermont—and that includes the U.S. Senate.

You know, I used to serve in the Vermont State Senate. I learned a ton about what it means to represent our communities as a public servant. And I was able to work with liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans who united behind what was best for Vermont families.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without those experiences, and if we win this race, I would work to bring the Vermont way—respect, cooperation, and trust—to the U.S. Senate. But first, we need to keep building our strong grassroots coalition, which could use your continued support.

Can you chip in $15 to our Senate campaign and help defend and expand our Senate majority?

After helping flip the Vermont State Senate blue, I had the honor of serving as its first Democratic President pro tem. Years later, when I was Senate leader again under a Republican governor, some of my Democratic colleagues wanted us to focus on giving him a hard time. But I reminded them that we’d been elected by the same voters who’d picked the governor, and it wouldn’t have been fair to Vermont families to prioritize political bashing over progress.

Now, we’ve got to make sure Mitch McConnell doesn’t take back control in Washington. We saw what he did to President Obama after taking back the Senate—all obstruction, all the time. We can’t let him do the same to President Biden. In a way, I’ve been in his shoes—and I’ve made a very different choice.

This seat could be the difference between moving forward on our progressive future—and handing it all back to Mitch McConnell. With our democracy at stake, the choice couldn’t be any clearer, but we still have to do the work to win it. That’s why we’re building the largest grassroots movement possible to win this election, and you’re playing an important role.

Please consider a $15 contribution today to help bring the Vermont way to Washington.

Thank you,

Peter
