It's official, folks: I am the official Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Missouri, and I'll be facing off against Eric Schmitt.

The stakes have never been higher. If you send me to the Senate, I will be the 51st vote we need to pass truly comprehensive gun reform, protect the right to an abortion, and break through the partisan divide.

And I know we can win. Our momentum is building like never before, but our opponent, Eric Schmitt, will be mobilizing powerful forces to defeat us. I need you with me in this fight, folks. Please, can you split a donation between me and Ben Ray Luján to power this campaign all the way to November?

Folks know that it's time for something different. And they know I'll lead with compassion and prioritize people, not partisanship. As a nurse, I'll listen to you and your concerns, not to the lobbyists. A nurse has never been elected to the Senate, but Washington sure could use the honesty, integrity, and problem-solving skills that nurses like me exemplify.

We're taking this campaign all the way to Washington – and we've got a long road ahead of us. Our opponent has deep-pocketed allies who will do anything to keep this Senate seat red. 

But we have something even more powerful: you. By donating even just $1, you're powering our campaign forward and making an investment to end the opioid crisis, make daily life more affordable, and bring kindness and compassion to Washington.

We have a big fight ahead of us, and I can't take on Eric Schmitt without you on my team. I need your support today and every step of the way to Election Day. So please, can you split a donation between me and Ben Ray Luján – whatever you can spare will help – to flip this seat blue and send a leader with a nurse's heart and mind to Washington?

I'm so grateful to have you on my team in this work. 

Onwards,
Trudy
