Friends, I’m running in one of the most competitive races in the country. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in to my campaign and our $8,000 fundraising goal. But if you don’t have time to read this email right now, can you please chip in before you move on? >>
My dad taught me the power of hard work. He immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in 1950, worked in the fields, served two tours in Vietnam, and took a union job to provide a path into the middle class for our family. While we didn’t have much growing up, my family believed that through hard work, you can achieve anything. It took me seven years to graduate college – and I juggled multiple jobs from painting houses to pouring coffee – but I put in the hard work and earned my degree. When my daughter was born 17 years ago, my family’s hard work gave me the determination that I needed to leave the world a better place for her. That’s why I stepped up to run for the Oregon legislature. As a legislator, I’ve fought for more affordable health care, helped Oregon begin to tackle our climate crisis, and passed the nation’s most progressive paid family leave bill. It took hard work to get these things done, but I was determined. With that same determination, I’m running for Congress and I’m ready to fight for families just like mine – but I need your help to get there. I’m asking you to chip in to my people-powered campaign today. When you chip in, even just a little, it all adds up. I can tell you from firsthand experience that when folks give what they can, it has a huge impact on our campaign – especially in a race as close as this one.
Thank you, Andrea Salinas |
