Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D. NV) in support of Governor Kate Brown’s (D. OR) re-election campaign:

Gov. Kate Brown (D. OR)

As Donald Trump continues to sabotage our nation’s health care system, attack our environmental protections and make it increasingly difficult for women to access family planning measures – it’s more important than ever to ensure we have strong progressives representing our shared values in statehouses across this country.

That’s why I am so excited that my friend Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon announced that she's running for reelection. We need to keep Kate leading the fight in the governor’s office against Donald Trump’s extremist, dangerous agenda. The work Kate is doing to stop the dangerous path the Trump administration has taken us down couldn’t be more important. And right now, Kate needs our help to ensure she can continue that great work.

Can I count on the support of this grassroots team to give $5 or more right now to ensure we get Kate’s reelection effort off to a strong start?

As the first Latina – and first woman to represent Nevada – in the U.S. Senate, I know what it’s like to break down barriers. Like me, Kate is also a first: She is the first openly LGBTQ person to have ever been elected governor of any state. Electing leaders that are diverse – and representative of the people they serve – helps move our country forward. It’s important that all of our communities and interests have a seat at the table.

But right now, the sad truth is that we’re down to a mere 15 Democratic governors across our country, and of that group, Kate is one of only TWO women. These stats aren’t great. But with your help, we’re going to help turn our governors’ offices blue, and that starts by making sure we reelect Kate.

Will you step up and help send Kate back to Oregon’s governor’s office by giving $5 or more today? Keeping Kate in office couldn’t be more important to stopping Donald Trump’s anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-environment agenda.

Kate is in for a fight. But I know that the determination and support of this grassroots team will help send her back to Salem.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!

Catherine
