Friend —

In just a few moments, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to my campaign before the end-of-month fundraising deadline. My hope is that you’ll give me a quick minute to explain why this request is so important — especially today.

As you may know, when I was a child, I had a severe illness that put me in the hospital for three months. Even though I fully recovered, my grandparents, who raised me, were unable to get me insurance at any price because I had this previous illness.

I got into public service because I saw my grandparents stay up nights, worried sick that I would fall ill again and they wouldn't be able to afford my care. No one should ever have to go through that.

Like 133 million Americans, I know what it's like to have the label "pre-existing condition" attached to my care — and before the Affordable Care Act was passed, many of us could be denied coverage.

So, you can imagine my frustration whenever the Trump administration launches a new attack on our entire health care system or threatens protections for people with pre-existing conditions — most recently, by backing a lawsuit that would upend the law in its entirety.

Trump has no plan to protect people with pre-existing conditions. He never has. He never will. That's why my colleagues and I introduced a resolution to save those protections, but the Republican-controlled Senate hasn't allowed a vote on it.

The only way we can protect our health care from Trump and his Republican allies is by flipping the White House and the Senate. Will you donate $10 (or more!) before Saturday’s end-of-month deadline so I can spend more time campaigning for Democrats and less time fundraising? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

If Trump has his way, millions of Americans could find themselves in a place where insurers would deny their coverage at any price because that was the sort of discriminatory practice we saw in the past.

We deserve leaders who work tirelessly to ensure every single person has access to quality, affordable health care, regardless of whether or not they have a pre-existing condition. I am going to keep fighting to make sure we get more of those leaders elected, but I need your support.

Make a contribution of $10 or whatever you can afford before this week’s end-of-month deadline so I can keep fighting for folks like you by protecting our Democrats in Washington and electing more of them. You can donate here.

So long as you're with me, I know we can overcome any challenge we may face, elect Democrats up and down the ballot, and stop the Republicans from taking health insurance away from millions of Americans.

Thank you for standing with me.

— Tammy
