Dear John,

As an Off the Sidelines supporter, I know that you understand how critical it is to elect more women into public office. You’re already in this fight alongside us because you know that women have the power to shape the future. It’s just a matter of getting off the sidelines, breaking down barriers, and getting involved.

But here’s the thing: Women -- especially mothers of young children -- face unique challenges when running for office.

In fact, I am just one of two moms with young children serving in the U.S. Senate. With that level of representation, there are actually more Senators named John than there are moms like me!

For far too long, moms have been kept out of the conversation, out of office, and out of power. But my friends over at Vote Mama are working to break these barriers that hold moms back by electing pro-choice, Democratic moms.

Founded by former Congressional candidate Liuba Grechen Shirley, Vote Mama is the first organization in the country dedicated to building the political power of Democratic moms. Through direct financial support, mentorship, and endorsements, Vote Mama provides necessary resources to help their endorsed candidates run powerful campaigns and normalize moms running for office.

In this past 2022 election cycle alone, Vote Mama has helped 103 Democratic moms win elections — from School Board to U.S. Senate — including several who are the first women and moms to ever hold their seat. Since 2019, they have helped more than 400 pro-choice Democratic moms run for office who are committed to championing truly family-friendly legislation and achieving meaningful policy change for working families.

Right now, it’s more important than ever that Democratic women and moms have a seat at the table. And Vote Mama’s historic work is absolutely critical to ensuring that happens.

So, John, I’m asking you today if you’ll join me in my support of this groundbreaking organization and help lay a strong foundation for Democratic moms in the upcoming year. Can I count on you to take action by rushing a $25 contribution or any amount to Vote Mama? Donate now >>

Thank you for being in this fight,
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
