John, the last few weeks leading up to the Democratic primary in Missouri have been a whirlwind, to say the least. Now that we're past the primary election, I finally have a free moment, so I want to take a second to reintroduce myself and tell you a bit more about why I'm running for Senate.

I've spent my whole life in Missouri. As a young girl growing up here, I watched my parents live the American Dream.

At a young age, my parents taught me that “to whom much is given, much is required.” That sense of duty to help others is what drove me to choose a life of service.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. To me, nurses were the real superheroes. They took care of people and saved lives. That’s what I wanted to do – so I set out to make it happen.

As a young woman, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a nurse. Right after nursing school, I worked at a hospital and cared for children, seniors, people who relied on Medicare and Medicaid for their healthcare, and folks from all walks of life.

During my time working in a hospital, I saw the importance of quality healthcare firsthand. As a nurse, I believe that every person deserves access to the very best medical care, and as a parent, I believe that everyone should have access to contraception and abortion care – full stop.

I’ve spent my life giving back and helping others, and now I’m running for U.S. Senate because we need a nurse's heart in Washington.

If I could go back and talk to any of the younger versions of myself in these photos, she wouldn't believe it if I told her we would one day be on the cusp of taking our heart of service all the way to the U.S. Senate. I hope I am making her, my family, and – most importantly – you proud.

Running a campaign with stakes this high is scary, for sure. Still, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for November. I know that on Election Day, we're going to prove to everyone that hope, compassion, and people-first politics can win. But I need your help to do that, and right now, we're falling $2,498 short of our next midnight grassroots fundraising goal.

I'd really hate to miss a critical goal like this one so soon after our primary victory, so I have to ask you: Please, can you make a donation of $5, or whatever you can spare tonight, to power this campaign to November and help me bring compassion, honesty, and respect back to Washington?
