We’ve got two choices ahead of us for the next few weeks until Election Day.

We could sit around and worry about all the terrible things Republicans could do if they take back power in Washington — from banning abortion nationwide to cutting Social Security and Medicare.

Or we could throw ourselves into the fight to keep it from happening.

Me? I’m staying in the fight. And today, I want to recommend four House races where your support could make a real difference right now. Four competitive races on the front lines of the fight to protect and expand our Democratic majority.

Earlier this year, I endorsed Democrats Nikki Budzinski (Illinois’ 13th District), Jamie McLeod-Skinner (Oregon’s 5th), Andrea Salinas (Oregon’s 6th), and Michelle Vallejo (Texas’ 15th) because they’re champions for working people.

This grassroots team helped get them over the finish line in their primary elections. And now their general election races will help decide who controls the House next year.

If it makes sense for you right now, will you split a $3 contribution between Nikki Budzinski, Jamie McLeod-Skinner, Andrea Salinas, Michelle Vallejo, and Warren Democrats? Help make sure Democrats hold onto the House, and help grow our grassroots movement.

Here’s why I’m very happy to support these terrific candidates:

Nikki Budzinski led the successful campaign to raise the minimum wage in Illinois, and she’s an experienced labor advocate who fought for better pay and safe working conditions for retail workers and meatpackers. If we help her flip this GOP-held district, she’ll fight to pass a federal $15 minimum wage, make it easier for workers to join a union, and make sure everyone has a fighting chance at making it to the middle class.

A small business owner, experienced public servant, and emergency response coordinator, Jamie McLeod-Skinner knows we need a government that puts people first. After wildfires swept through Oregon, she helped bring in millions in recovery dollars to get people back on their feet. She will fight for prescription drug coverage for seniors, tackle the climate crisis, and stand shoulder to shoulder with working people.

Andrea Salinas is the champion we need fighting for Oregon families in the 6th Congressional District. She has been a passionate and effective advocate for abortion access, and she helped Oregon pass one of the strongest reproductive rights laws in the country. Raised in a union household and the first in her family to graduate from a four-year university, she’s fighting to build a future for all of our kids.

As a daughter of immigrants, a fierce community advocate, and a small business owner, Michelle Vallejo understands the unique needs of her district. She has the experience to hold this crucial swing seat. And if we send her to Washington, she’ll be a champion for affordable health care, good-paying jobs, higher education that’s within reach for every family, and protecting and expanding Social Security and Medicare.

We need their voices in Washington, pure and simple. But battleground races like these are getting tighter across the country, big GOP donors are shelling out big last-minute checks, and these campaigns need to spend the next few weeks reaching every possible voter.

We still have time to affect the outcome of the midterm elections. And we’ve got to do everything we can to make sure we win.

These races could decide who controls the House. Please split a $3 donation between Nikki Budzinski, Jamie McLeod-Skinner, Andrea Salinas, Michelle Vallejo, and our re-election campaign if you can today — and let’s stay in the fight all the way through Election Day.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
