A trickle, not a flood

  john, We have just a few hours to hit our end-of-month fundraising goal by tonight’s midnight deadline — and with just one toss-up seat between holding our slim Democratic majority and handing the gavel back to Mitch McConnell, the stakes are sky-high. john, can you pitch in any amo…

you deserve an explanation

  john, Mark Kelly here. In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to help me defend this Senate seat. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so important. Here’s the truth: We may not know who our Republican opponent will be, b…

A single seat.

  john, It’s hard to wrap my head around how big the stakes are in this November’s midterm elections. Republicans need to flip just one seat to take back the majority in the Senate — and we can’t let that happen. The damage Republicans are inflicting on our country as the minority par…

Senate Republicans' unhinged plan

  john, NEWS: Senate Republicans just released their incoherent and unhinged “11 Point Plan to Rescue America,” and it borders on the ridiculous. Their plan includes deeply unpopular proposals like finishing the border wall and naming it after Trump. It includes drastic cuts to govern…

Important news out of Arizona

  john, Last week, the Arizona Senate passed a law to ban abortions after 15 weeks. This adds to the steady drumbeat of anti-abortion laws passed in GOP-led states with the ultimate goal of overturning Roe v. Wade. It’s shameful, and if it is signed into law, it will have deadly conse…

A hundred million dollars

  Folks, I’m not trying to alarm you, but Senate Republicans’ campaign arm just announced that they raised a record-breaking $104.8 million in 2021. Instead of focusing on helping the American people, Mitch McConnell and the GOP are raising huge sums of money from wealthy donors and c…
