Received this e-mail over the weekend from U.S. Senator Al Franken (D. MN) in support of U.S. Senators Joe Donnelly (D. IN) and Debbie Stabenow’s (D. MI) re-election campaigns and Rep. Jacky Rosen’s (D. NV) U.S. Senate campaign:
What do Senator Joe Donnelly, Senator Debbie Stabenow, and Congresswoman JackyRosen have in common?
All three are proven fighters for families in their states. Seriously. They're very, very hard workers facing important and incredibly competitive campaigns in 2018.
And all three they need our help today. And yes, of course by “help” I mean "money."
Will you help me help Joe, Debbie, and Jacky by contributing?
I can't say enough about my friend and colleague, Debbie Stabenow. Since I came to the Senate, I've been able to count on her as an ally and as a sort of mentor.
When it comes to fighting for the people of Michigan, Debbie is fierce. She was a big part of stopping cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Effort along with Joe. When contaminated water in Flint made people sick, she took action to correct the problem. She's always at the forefront when it comes to fighting for the working class.
Help support Debbie in her re-election by giving $5 or more.
Joe Donnelly helped run a small business in Indiana. He gets the challenges small businesses and families face every day. With all the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Affordable Care Act, Joe has been a reliable defender of access to affordable health care.
And being from a Great Lakes state, Joe was a huge help in pushing back against the Trump Administration's proposed cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Effort. His work on that helped Hoosiers, Minnesotans, and families all over the country.
Give now to support Joe's re-election campaign.
Congresswoman Jacky Rosen is running in one of the biggest Senate races in the country this year -- she's challenging Senator Dean Heller in Nevada.
This is going to be a huge race. In 2016, Nevada was one of the few, precious success stories we had. Electing a pro-health care, pro-worker Democrat would be a fantastic win for Nevada and the country.
You know who else knows all that? Special interest groups with deep pockets. They're going to pour money into Nevada -- lots of it. Jacky needs our help early if she's going to win.
Give $5, $10, or even more to support Jacky's campaign.
Joe, Debbie, and Jacky are counting on grassroots support to come through for them.
Let's make sure we do.
Thanks,
Al
P.S.: Did I mention Joe, Debbie, and Jacky are facing hugely important and incredibly competitive races in 2018? I feel like I might have. But it is worth repeating because your grassroots small-dollar donations are the best weapon against special interest attacks. So contribute now, if you can.
