Mitch Watch begins

Let’s show Mitch McConnell that the world is watching what he’s doing as the Senate impeachment trial unfolds. Friend, the House of Representatives sent articles of impeachment over to Mitch McConnell this week—meaning it’s now up to him to make sure the Senate trial is conducted fa…

Meet these incredible women running for Senate

Today, will you support these exceptional woman candidates who are running for Senate? Friend, I’m running to end Mitch McConnell’s decades of corruption and obstruction of our democracy—but as you well know, simply beating Mitch in 2020 isn’t enough to get us back on track. We need…

Have you had a chance to weigh in yet?

Tell us why you’ll personally sleep better at night once we defeat Mitch. Team, Amy reached out yesterday with a simple question: Why will you and your family be better off without Mitch McConnell in the United States Senate? Take a minute and share your story, and we’ll make sure A…

What's riding on this election for you, friend?

How will your life improve once Mitch is retired from the Senate? Share your story. Friend, I spend most of my time talking about what’s wrong and broken in Washington. Today, I want you to imagine a better future with me. Tell me: Why will you and your family be better off once we’…

Check out our new site

Amy’s priorities are the same priorities she hears every day from Kentuckians across the state: common-sense reforms like lowering the cost of prescription drugs, expanding access to affordable health care, and creating good-paying jobs in every part of the state. Friend: It’s no wo…

Mitch has never seen anything like this:

In the last three months of 2019, we raised $6 million together—more than Mitch has ever raised in a fundraising quarter. Friend—thank you. Every day of this campaign, I’m grateful for you—a team that’ll never back down from a tough fight, that cares enough about defending our democ…

One last personal message from me.

There’s a lot at stake next year. This is the team that comes through when it matters most. Team, If you would have told me when we launched this campaign that we’d be finishing 2019 on nearly even footing with Mitch McConnell, I’d have laughed you out of the room. But here we are—o…

Let’s close the deal before tonight.

We're on Mitch's heels. $72,824—that's how much we want to raise before midnight, team. A lot of people are waiting to see the numbers we’ll post for our final FEC filing of 2019. Here’s why. Those numbers will tell an important story: They’ll show the depth of support on this team,…

Let’s erase Mitch’s advantage for good

Did you see Amy’s note yesterday? Friend, just making sure you didn't miss Amy's note from yesterday. We have a real shot at closing the fundraising gap in this race before 2020 even begins—and starting the new year on equal footing with Mitch McConnell. But with all the special int…

What we need to accomplish by the end of the year

Let’s pull even with Mitch before 2020 even begins. Friend, I’ll be brief: This year in Kentucky, we’ve redefined what’s possible. On Day 1 of this campaign, this team broke fundraising records and showed how ready Kentucky is for new leadership. Then, on Day 119 of this campaign, D…

This is a different kind of email

Today, I’m not asking you to support just my campaign—I’m asking for your help to send three other fellow veterans and patriots to the U.S. Senate alongside me. Friend, We’re closing in on the end of the year and, with it, the quarterly FEC deadline. In the new year, federal campaig…

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Friend: My family has a little tradition—every year, after we cut down our Christmas tree, my father would sneak a shot of bourbon to us (over 21) kids before taking the tree back to the car where my mother was waiting. If she ever knew, she…

You weighed in on the priorities Mitch is blocking

Here are some of the priorities this team cares about most. Friend, a couple weeks back, we asked you to share your take on all of the legislation Mitch McConnell is blocking in the Senate. Here’s what you said matters most: 79.5% of Kentuckians said shielding our elections from for…

Mitch, the nation is watching what you do.

He has a constitutional duty to fulfill, whether he likes it or not. History is being written in front of our eyes, folks. I called for an impeachment inquiry months ago because of the grave national security implications of the Commander in Chief withholding vital congressionally a…

Two people who prepared me for this fight

What Ferris Bueller said
