Hi folks -- Terri Sewell here.

I’m going to talk to you about two role models who inspire me every day to fight my hardest for the people of Alabama, but first: will you chip in $10 right now to help my campaign reach its ambitious $10,000 mid-month goal?

Believe it or not, folks, that Jeopardy question is about me.

I met Michelle Obama when I was a freshman at Princeton. At the time, her last name was Robinson, and I had no way of knowing that this brilliant young woman would go on to become First Lady of the United States. If anything, I expected her to take the world by storm and become the first Black President herself!

It wasn’t until I was at Harvard law school that I met the man who would become her husband. Barack Obama was a gifted law student, but I’ll admit that I was surprised to discover years later that he had married my friend from Princeton. But once I saw them together, I couldn’t deny that they were perfect for each other.

Throughout their time in the White House, I worked with the President and First Lady to fight for Alabama’s 7th District. I refused to be satisfied with anything less than the best and worked my hardest to serve America’s Civil Rights District.

I’m as determined as ever to fight for Alabama. I work hard in Congress every day to bring our hardworking folks across my district the resources they need to thrive, no matter who the president is. I’m in this fight for all of us.

Right now, my campaign is coming up on a critical mid-month fundraising deadline. I’m setting a goal of $10,000, and I know that this team won’t let me down. So will you chip in anything you can right now to help me stay in this fight for Alabama?

Thank you for all that you do,

Terri Sewell
