John, this November, Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District has the opportunity to make history.

My friend and colleague Patty Pansing Brooks is running for Congress to unseat decades of ineffective and extreme leadership. As someone who’s worked in tandem with Patty bringing progress for Nebraskans, I’ve seen just how fiercely she advocates for her community. She’s the only candidate fit to represent Nebraska’s First in D.C.

Patty and I have fought alongside one another to pass a Climate Action Plan and LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination laws in the workplace, and together, we’ve made important strides in the Unicameral. She has consistently been a leader in the fight to champion equality before the law, and she actually understands the issues our community cares about. John, Washington needs someone like Patty right now.

Her opponent, Mike Flood, has used his seat to chisel away at our most fundamental rights. He began his first day in Congress voting against a bill that would establish an Amber Alert-style system to notify people if there’s an active shooter nearby — and his votes have only gotten more dangerous. He’s voted against abortion, contraception, even gay and interracial marriage. He represents everything Patty and I fought against in the Legislature, and we can’t afford to have him in office for a full term.

John, there’s only one candidate in this race who is pro-choice, pro-equality, and pro-progress, and it’s Patty Pansing Brooks. That’s why I’m proud to endorse her for Congress — I hope you’ll join me in supporting her today:

Right now, there’s only a five point margin separating Patty and her opponent. Folks, we can close that gap — but only if we have all hands on deck.

Patty’s going to need resources to win, and your support today could be the final push she needs to reach independent or unregistered voters across her district. Will you contribute $5, $10, or whatever feels right to you so we can elect her to Congress this November?

Patty has incredible grassroots power on her side. Now, it’s up to us to mobilize our momentum for a big win on Election Day.

Onward,
