I first came to Congress driven to do all I could to help our local communities and families thrive. My Democratic colleagues and I are making real progress to do just that.

Our veterans? I have supported them my entire career, most recently through the passage of the PACT Act, which provides veterans critical access to the health care they need due to the hazards they have faced in the line of duty.

Our workers? I will always stand with you. The infrastructure law we just passed protects workers while rebuilding America in a way it has needed for far, far too long.

And I cannot fail to mention the fierce attacks against abortion. I am the only candidate in this race who will always fight for access to safe and legal abortions, and I will do everything in my power to stand with our progressive community in this critical fight.

... not to even begin to scratch the surface of climate change, gun violence, and addressing everything else that, to be frank, only a Democratic majority will take on.

These are the stakes in this election, and why I am asking for your immediate support as we close in on the coming end-of-quarter fundraising deadline.

Because it matters right now. A heck of a lot.
