John – nurses care about results, not who gets the credit. And that is the same mentality Trudy Busch Valentine is going to take with her to the U.S. Senate.

As nurses, we wash your baby on your best day; we draw your blood on your most uncertain day; we hold your hand on your scariest day; we help you find a solution when you aren't sure if you can even take your next step. Nurses are problem solvers and caregivers. We know how to listen to and comfort families – and we step up to do the less glamorous work that can make all the difference for a patient and their loved ones.

Make no mistake, we nurses take incredible pride in our work – we work hard and know that our impact speaks for itself. But nurses aren't worried about glory or celebrity. We're only worried about getting the job done.

As a former nurse, Trudy Busch Valentine embodies these principles, ideals, and values. They guide her as a mom, as a volunteer, and as a children's advocate. And in November, she'll bring a nurse's heart and mind to Washington as Missouri's next senator.

With partisanship and extremism running rampant in Washington, Trudy is exactly the leader we need right now. She'll listen with an open heart, build bridges, and focus on healing our country. But no one gets to Washington alone. Trudy is counting on a grassroots movement of people like you to stand with her and demand a better, more compassionate future.

So please, will you pitch in to send someone to the Senate who will focus on delivering results for your family – not getting sound bites on TV? Your donation is an investment to end the opioid crisis, solve the unchecked gun violence epidemic, and put the American Dream within reach for all Americans.
