What a year

  Folks, it’s astonishing for me to think about how far we have come in the last year. Our campaign has grown to levels I could have never imagined, even before the first vote has been cast in this race. I’m proud to have earned endorsements from Senators Carper, Booker, Warren, an…

Dominos

  Have you ever heard of the domino effect, folks? It actually has a lot to do with our campaign strategy. You see, failing to reach even one of our fundraising goals could be the first domino falling in a long line of setbacks for our campaign. So please, rush a contribution of $2…

Nothing like a big winter storm

  Hi team, this is a longer note from me but I hope you'll read it as it's important. If you don't have time, all I ask is that you chip in any amount to support my campaign for Senate. TY – Lisa I'm being serious, team: I love a big winter storm. Between being snowed in, having…

yard signs

  Team, yard signs are one of the best ways to show physical support for Lisa's Senate campaign, so we're on a mission to put a yard sign on EVERY corner across the state. Between production and sending organizers out to place each sign, it costs our campaign $10.25 to get one yard…

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

  Folks, one of my favorite holiday songs is Andy Williams' 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year'. But unfortunately, it's feeling like anything but that. In fact, my finance team just informed me that we fell just short of last week's fundraising projections. It's by no mea…

a yard sign at every corner

Hi team, it's Lisa Blunt Rochester. I wanted to share a special moment captured during my first campaign for Congress – my dad and I with one of my campaign yard signs. We made history that year when I became the first woman and person of color to represent Delaware in the House. Bu…

An important anniversary and where we go from here

One year ago today, team, we made history – again. Thanks to the support of folks like you on this people-powered team, we defied all the odds, proving the political pundits and naysayers wrong, to win our runoff election. We kept Georgia blue and secured the Senate majority for Demo…

tossing and turning

Team, I have to be honest: I was tossing and turning last night. I poured a big cup of coffee this morning and sat down on the phone with my team to see how much we raised in November. That's when we got terrible news: We didn't reach our end-of-month goal. Look, I hate having to bre…

Three strikes you're out, George Santos

  Well, team, today Lisa voted for a third and final time to expel George Santos from the House – and it worked. George Santos has lied about everything from his resume to starring in TV shows before he even got to Congress. What's more shocking is that the Republican Party was wil…

Hey there, I’ll cut to the chase so I don’t take up too much of your night. My finance director Nick texted me and told me we’re in jeopardy of falling short of our end-of-month goal. We have less than 7 hours to close the gap so I’m counting on you to chip in to help meet our goal…

Personally reaching out

  Folks, You’ve been hearing from my team and Senator John Fetterman about the importance of our upcoming end-of-month fundraising deadline – but now I want you to hear directly from me. I’m not a career politician. I never thought about running until I was at the grocery store and…

an urgent request

Emailing for $5

Friend – I’m about to ask you to contribute $5 to keep Delaware and the Senate blue – but first, there are a few things you should know: Democrats are defending a 51-49 Senate majority. Republicans are all but guaranteed to flip West Virginia red, which leaves ONE SEAT remaining to …

2 seats is all it takes

  Team, we're not being dramatic when we say that this race could determine the Senate Majority in 2024. Next year, Republicans will only have to defend 11 seats while Democrats will have to defend a whopping 23 seats. That includes Delaware! All Republicans need to retake the Sena…

Let’s send an unmistakable message

Mike Johnson's radical agenda

Hello, I’m stressed. My finance team just called me to let me know we’re still $23,736 short of our November fundraising goal—this is especially bad news because national Republican groups are attacking me earlier than ever before. Before I explain any more, I wanted to ask: Is ther…

I can't be everyone's cup of tea

I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, friend. That’s a hard lesson you learn very early on as a Black woman in politics. I know I’m not going to win every single vote when I’m on the ballot – and that’s okay. So even if I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, I’ll represent all of my constitu…

This is troubling

I’ve served Delaware for over 30 years – first as an intern for then-Congressman Carper, and then as a member of Congress. Throughout my career, I've always relied on science, data, and hard facts to make tough decisions. Right now, the facts tell me that Democrats are in serious tro…
