I just officially announced that I’m running for re-election in 2024. I never in a zillion years thought I'd be a U.S. senator. But my life has had a lot of twists and turns, just like a lot of people's.

I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class. After my daddy’s heart attack, my family came within an inch from losing our house, but my mother got a minimum wage job at Sears that saved our family.

I dropped out of college at 19 to get married, but got a second chance at a public college that cost $50 a semester and got to live my dream of becoming a public school teacher.

I’ve dedicated my career to studying why families go broke and fighting to rebuild the middle class. After Wall Street crashed our economy in 2008, I fought to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect people from getting scammed by big banks and corporations. The CFPB has already returned more than $16 billion to American consumers who’ve been cheated.

After Senate Republicans vowed to block my nomination to serve as the CFPB’s first director, I went back home to Massachusetts and ran against one of them — and I beat him. I ran to tax greedy corporations, to invest in jobs and our infrastructure, and to rein in student loan companies. And guess what? We got it all done.

But the fight to make our government work for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected — isn’t over. So I’m running for re-election to keep up the fight. Will you make a contribution of $5, $15, or whatever you can today and become a Founding Donor of this campaign so I can keep fighting for working families in the Senate? [[link removed]]

Throughout my time in Washington, I’ve learned that when you start talking about policies that help working people instead of wealthy people or big corporations, plenty of critics will be quick to tell you what you can’t do and what’s not possible.

It’s like clockwork.

Take student loan cancellation for example. Cynics said we could never put our government on the side of working-class and middle-class people who fought to get an education and are getting crushed by debt. But we got organized, we got in the fight, and we got this policy to the president’s desk.

I’ll stay in the fight to get student debt cancellation over the finish line. Because that’s a case where we still see how the rules work differently for different groups of people: Right now we have a system that holds millions of struggling student loan borrowers in limbo, but that same system worked overnight to ensure that billion-dollar crypto firms wouldn’t lose a dime in deposits during the recent bank failures.

The difference between these two scenarios? The willingness to fight for them.

I’m in this fight all the way — and I am going to continue to use my voice to advocate for big, structural changes that help working people. I need you by my side in this fight.

A contribution of $3 or anything you can will help show the naysayers that our plans — like taxing the rich, reining in big banks, and making child care affordable — have strong support. Will you please pitch in today to support my re-election and make these plans possible? The amount of grassroots contributions we receive today will help demonstrate the strength of our movement — and any amount makes a powerful difference. [[link removed]]
