Republicans love to say that they’re the party of “family values” — the party that looks out for parents and kids.

Give me a break. I could go on, and on, and on, and on about how Republicans don’t do anything to actually support families.

Democrats are the ones fighting for paid family leave; quality, affordable child care; strong public schools for every family; good-paying jobs that leave parents with time to see their kids; and a government that works for every family, not just the rich and powerful.

But here’s what happens when Republican politicians win elections and get their way:

More parents are forced to ration groceries and watch their children go hungry.

More parents are forced to have hushed conversations at the kitchen table after they’ve put their kids to bed — conversations about how on earth they’re going to make rent, pay the mortgage, or cover medical bills.

More parents — especially moms — are forced to give up their careers because child care costs more than their salary.

More parents are forced to make impossible choices between going to work that day so they can buy groceries or staying home so they can take care of a sick child.

More kids are forced to go to under-funded public schools, where some get cruelly punished for having little to no funds in their lunch accounts.

More teachers are forced to deal with red tape that stops them from teaching honest lessons about Black history, or from trying to create safe, welcoming classroom environments for LGBTQ+ students.

More working people and more retirees are forced to struggle to make ends meet and afford life-saving prescription drugs.

All this, while actively forcing disproportionately low-income women and women of color to give birth — by shredding abortion rights and restricting access to contraceptive care.

I’m not willing to accept any of that. So I’m going to do everything I can to keep Republicans out of power in these midterm elections. Our Democratic majorities in Congress are razor-thin, and we also need to fight back — hard — in state and local races that the GOP has been focusing on for decades.

If you’ve had enough of the GOP’s double act — if you know that we need to beat Republicans up and down the ballot in 2022 and elect more tough Democrats who know how to fight and win — then please chip in $3 today if you can. Your donation will support our re-election campaign and help Warren Democrats win in tight races across the country.

Thanks for being a part of this,
