the truth

We messed up

  There are just 24 hours left before the June mid-month deadline and we've got bad news — we messed up. We really thought we would reach our grassroots goal before tomorrow, but it looks like we were wrong. We’re all human, and we all make mistakes — but if we don't hit our target be…

Happy Monday!

  Happy Monday, folks! I just wanted to reach out about our mid-month deadline expiring this Wednesday. Look, I’m not writing to fool you with fake deadlines or tell you that the sky is falling — it’s not. But I will tell you that these emails make a huge difference for our team. Your…

  Hi there — In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution toward our mid-month deadline. But first, I hope you will give me a chance to explain why this request is so important, especially today. Every three months or so, our team creates a budget for the upcoming qua…

My pre-existing condition

  When I was 9 years old, I got sick, really sick. I was hospitalized, but since my grandparents were the ones raising me and because our family’s health plan didn’t cover grandkids, they were forced to pay out of pocket for my three-month hospital stay. I got better, but the insuranc…

It’s not complicated

  It’s not complicated. Medical decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor. Period. But this year alone, Republican lawmakers in state legislatures across the country have introduced more than 500 anti-choice bills limiting reproductive freedom, restricting access to …

Wisconsin will come down to the wire

  I want to say thank you to Tammy and all of her team for having my back the last two years. When you're Governor, you need a Senator fighting for you and your state in Washington, DC. Tammy Baldwin has always been that person. Both of us believe that leadership is about compassion,…

my favorite takeout

  Hi there — It’s great to be back in Wisconsin this week to check in with folks around here, grab takeout from my favorite restaurants, and even kick-off Pride month by raising the Pride flag over our State Capitol. But it’s almost time to head back to Washington, and as I’m sure you…

I first came out in college

  I first came out in college. Back then, I knew I was interested in public service, and I feared that I would face a serious choice between pursuing the field of my dreams or living my authentic life openly. Seeing others in the LGBTQ community demonstrate acts of courage by coming o…

I know these emails can be pesky

  This isn’t the news I want to be sharing with you on a Sunday morning: According to my team, fewer people than we were hoping for have made donations to our campaign over the past few weeks. I don't want to alarm you, but that's a serious problem... especially with our razor-thin Se…

Re: January 6th Commission

  As members of Congress were working to faithfully carry out our constitutional duty to certify the election on January 6th, we witnessed a disgraceful, violent attack on the U.S. Capitol. And this move was incited by high-level leaders in an attempt to subvert our democracy and over…

Let me explain

  Friends — I have an important ask to make. I hope you’ll give me a minute to explain why this is so important. Last month, a Super PAC pledged to spend $10 million to defeat us in next year’s Arizona Senate race. Special interests have made it clear that defeating us in 2022 is a to…

typo
