Breaking: A new threat to our majority

In his relentless drive to win back the Senate gavel, Mitch McConnell is now targeting the Maryland Senate seat held by Senator Chris Van Hollen. John,  I’m writing to you today to ask you to split a contribution, of any amount you can, between my campaign and Senator Chris Van Hollen’s before o…

The fight for Build Back Better isn’t over

Add your name to support relief for working families John, I know you’ve seen a lot of news this week about Build Back Better and I want to update you on where I stand: this fight isn’t over. I’m not giving up on relief for working families, a pathway to citizenship for immigrants, and much-need…

If we lose just one of these seats...

If we lose a single one of these seats, we lose the Senate. John:  We are in trouble. As you might have seen, CNN has named Raphael Warnock, Mark Kelly, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan as the most vulnerable Senate Democrats in the country. On top of that, Donald Trump is personally re…

Let me cut to the point

Mitch McConnell is hoping you will lose interest and stop caring. John,  I know you care whether the Senate does something about global warming, women's health care, or voting rights for all Americans.  Will you step up to pitch in $5 or any amount to reach our mid-month goal to defend the Demo…

This is serious.

We know you are probably inundated with campaign emails right now, but we need to finish the year strong. John,  With 2021 soon coming to a close, we need to send Mitch the right message. We are just $10,405 away from our mid-month goal. Will you chip in $5 or any amount to show the GOP that Ame…

We need to step up for a better 2022

We need to show Republicans that their efforts are moot We just have a couple of weeks left in 2021, John. It’s time to reflect on how to have a strong new year. The most obvious being that we need to defend our Senate majority. But we need to work together, and I need you to make a commitment t…

We need every Democratic Senator on board

Add your name now if you care about working families. John, Add your name now and join me in calling on EVERY Democratic Senator to support Build Back Better and expand access to pre-K, child care, and home health for our seniors. Let’s get real. Our economy is unequal. It’s time to Build Back B…
