John -

When I decided to run for U.S. Senate, I knew that my path here would be different than most.

Just like Cheri Beasley, I don't come from a wealthy family. I didn't enter this race with a bunch of wealthy donors lining up to write big checks to this campaign.

My mom was a public school teacher and my dad built catalytic converters at the General Motors plant. Those jobs were our family's ticket to the middle class.

Ever since I was a little kid, my parents taught me never to settle for what is, but to reach for what can be. It was how I graduated high school at the age of 16 and went on to be elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly when I was 25.

Then, after careful thought and consideration, I decided to get in this race to defeat Ron Johnson.

It was a big decision. I knew that, just like North Carolina’s Senate race, this was going to be one of the most competitive U.S. Senate races in the entire country. And these are races that we must win if we're going to defend the Democratic Senate majority.

But I was willing to bet that if I decided to run, people would come together in large numbers to be a part of this campaign. Because the truth is that no single person can flip a Senate seat alone. It will only happen if we're in this together.

So today, I need your help to reach the goals we've set for our campaign.

These goals are not arbitrary. They're what we need to raise to flip Wisconsin and North Carolina for Democrats.

So I am asking:

Can you please split a $5 contribution between my campaign for U.S. Senate and Cheri Beasley’s campaign today? Any amount you can give will fund the crucial investments we need to make to win these races and expand our majority.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between Cheri Beasley and Mandela Barnes instantly.

Every donation will help put Cheri and me in a position to flip these seats. Thank you for chipping in today, if you can afford it.

All my best,

Mandela
