Hi,
I’m writing to you today to announce that I’m proudly endorsing Charles Booker for U.S. Senate.
Charles is running to replace Rand Paul — and he’s campaigning on a bold progressive vision that includes passing Medicare for All, holding special interests accountable, and lifting up working people in Kentucky.
Charles isn’t just talking the talk – he’s lived the struggles other politicians just talk about. He grew up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky. He experienced the pain of poverty firsthand, and saw his mom skip meals just so he could have enough. He’s been homeless, and has had to ration his insulin because he couldn’t afford the medication he needed as a Type 1 diabetic.
Now, he’s running to lift up families in Kentucky and beyond. I couldn’t be prouder to offer my support for his campaign, and today I’m asking for your help.
If you can, please chip in $5 in support of Charles’ campaign today. Your donation is especially important since at the end of this month Charles has to publicly submit his fundraising numbers.
Contribute $5
Some of you might be thinking. Isn’t Kentucky a red state? Isn’t it going to be hard to win? Well, let me tell you a little story.
When I was first thinking about running for Congress, I heard the same thing. People said I’d never win.
Orange County has long been known as the Republican stronghold of California, and my district includes historically red areas.
But I decided to go for it because I believed we could make a difference. We ran uphill. We built a powerful grassroots movement powered by donations of $5 and $10. And we won.
Kentucky is a state that’s prime for change. It’s a Commonwealth where there are actually more registered Democrats than Republicans on the voter rolls. Remember, the Governor of Kentucky is already a Democrat.
I believe Charles is the leader Kentuckians need to bring together voters to help expand our Democratic majority in the Senate. He understands firsthand the issues that families care about and has made it clear that he will end the politics of hate and division that grew under Rand Paul. But he can’t do this work without your help.
These end of quarter deadlines aren’t bullshit, I promise. They’re a real measure of a campaign’s momentum. Your contribution will power the campaign’s work on the ground to mobilize a record number of voters this election. Join me in supporting Charles Booker and make a donation today. >>
Thank you,
Katie Porter
