Friend – I'd like to tell you a story about someone who's very special to me: my mom, Verlene Warnock.
As a teenager growing up in Waycross, Georgia, in the 1950s, my mom used to pick somebody else's cotton. She raised 12 boys and girls in public housing on the west side of Savannah – and although money was short, Mom's love was always long. She told us we could do anything we put our minds to.
Just last year, Mom used her 82-year-old hands that used to pick somebody else's cotton to pick her son to be a United States senator from Georgia, the first Black senator in our state's history. God bless you, Mom.

But my last race was just the beginning, friend. Right now, NPR is calling me the most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for reelection, and GOP super PACs are launching ads to flip my seat and turn Georgia red.
The only way I can fight back against GOP attacks, protect my Senate seat, and win our critical fights for justice is with your help. That's why I'm personally asking: Will you donate $5 or more now to win in Georgia and defend our Democratic Senate majority? A grassroots contribution from you – right here, right now – will make what Mom and I never could have dreamed of a reality.
