The little girl in this photo has no clue what a wild ride life has in store for her. Right now, all she knows is the joy of weekend camping with her family, tearing into her mom’s homemade meatballs and begging her Dad to buy her a dirt bike.

Her Dad raised her on three principles: work hard, be honest and respect everyone. She spent her life watching him pour his heart into bettering his community, and she became a first-generation college graduate and pursued a career in law to protect that community.

She went on to be elected Nevada’s Attorney General just as the 2008 financial crisis wreaked havoc on America’s middle-class families and our economy. She took on the Big Banks with a fellow Attorney General from California and secured $1.9 billion in relief for Nevada homeowners.

In 2016, she would make history as the first woman from Nevada and first Latina ever elected to the United States Senate. The odds were stacked against her, and many said she had no chance of winning. Mitch McConnell and the GOP spent nearly $50 million to defeat her, but her grassroots team stood by her every step of the way.

Friend, my story is one of community. It made me who I am today and it’s why I fight so hard for Nevada in the Senate. But right now, Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate is leading me by 3 points in the polls, and FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver says I’m in serious danger of losing this toss-up Senate race.
Can you split $5 between me and Gary Peters right now to help me defeat my Trump-endorsed opponent and defend the Democratic Senate majority?

From college, to the courtroom, to the U.S. Senate – people have doubted that a Latina could compete and overcome the odds to win. I’ve proven them wrong every time, and I know that with your help, I can do it again.
My race will be one of the closest in the country, and Nevada will be crucial for control of the Senate. GOP outside groups have already spent over $4 million to defeat me and flip the one seat they need to take back the Senate.
Friend, I need your help to close this polling gap and defeat my Trump-endorsed opponent. Please, split $5 between me and Gary Peters right now to help defend Nevada and defend the Democratic Senate majority.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!

P.S. My Dad eventually bought me that dirt bike.
