Six years ago, Nevada had never elected a senator that looked like me. As the first woman from Nevada and first Latina ever elected to the Senate, I can feel the weight of so many women and girls across the country.
|
I can see the frustration, doubt, and the looming worry of what rights they’ll try to take away from us next now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
|
Meanwhile, my opponent Adam Laxalt (R) is laughing behind closed doors, saying that Roe was a “joke.” He celebrated our rights being taken away as a “historic victory,” and he could be the deciding vote on Mitch McConnell's national abortion ban.
|
I want all of the women and girls in Nevada to know that someone is sticking up for them. I refuse to concede our fundamental freedoms and I will work as hard as I can every day to make sure Laxalt doesn’t step one foot in the United States Senate.
|
But I need your help to make sure we defeat him and defend our Democratic Senate majority.
|
If we lose in Nevada, Republicans will flip the Senate and work to outlaw abortion nationwide. But my campaign is being MASSIVELY outspent by Mitch McConnell and his allies, who are spending $34 MILLION to defeat me.
|
I’m only down by 1 POINT, so I’m fighting with every fiber of my being – because this race will determine whether or not our daughters and granddaughters have the same rights that we do today.
|
That’s why I’m personally asking you to chip in whatever you can right now to save our Democratic Senate majority and stop Mitch McConnell’s nationwide abortion ban.
|
We have to fight like our rights depend on it – because they do. I hope you’ll join me, my friend.
