I wanted you to hear this directly from me: I am officially running for
re-election.

I love this work -- being your voice and representing Connecticut in the U.S.
Senate means the world to me.

So much has happened in these two years. Most importantly for me, we defied the
odds and passed the first major gun safety bill in 30 years. As the author and
champion of the bill, I know that the gun lobby is coming after me. And after we
passed climate legislation and drug pricing legislation, I know the oil
companies and drug industry are coming too. So I am counting on a lot of
grassroots support as we kick off this race.

Will you please split a $10 contribution between my re-election and Chuck Schumer’s campaign today to make sure we’re ready for whatever comes our way? Grassroots donations are the heart of our campaign. It is what allows me to focus on — and deliver — meaningful progressive change in the U.S. Senate. [link removed]

When I came to the Senate, there was a feeling of defeat amongst Democrats. For
decades, we had tried unsuccessfully to pass transformative legislation to lower
carbon emissions. We had struck out, again and again, trying to give Medicare
the power to negotiate down the cost of prescription drugs. And we had been
stymied, for three long decades, by the gun lobby.

I ran for the Senate to be part of the group that would upend this status quo.
And we did. We passed the biggest gun safety bill in nearly three decades,
lowered prescription drug costs, made major investments in America's
infrastructure, and delivered the most aggressive climate action bill ever.
Slowly but surely, we are shifting the power back from billionaires and
corporations to the American people.

But the status quo fights back. And I know that the billionaires and the gun
companies are going to throw the kitchen sink at me this campaign.

So I cannot do this alone. The truth is Senate campaigns require significant
resources, so I am asking for your support to help me start this re-election
campaign strong:

Please split $10 or any amount you can afford between my re-election and Chuck Schumer today. It’s important that we send a powerful message about the strength of our movement, and the donation itself is just as important as the amount. [link removed]

When I win, I plan to build on the success of the past two years. We need to
pass voting rights legislation, restore the right to an abortion, and build on
our 2022 gun safety bill by passing universal background checks and an assault
weapons ban.

Thank you in advance for having my back. It means the world to me that so many
people like you step up to answer the call when we need it.

There's a lot of work ahead of us, but together, I know that we will be ready
for anything.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy CONTRIBUTE → [link removed]
