Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA) in support of Rep. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D. AZ) U.S. Senate campaign:
Hi, Team —
Disgraced sheriff Joe Arpaio is running for U.S. Senate in Arizona, after being convicted of violating a court order to stop illegally detaining and terrorizing the Latino community. We have to act now:
Rush an urgent donation of $3 to Kyrsten Sinema — a compassionate champion for working people and the poor — who’s running against Arpaio and has a real chance to win in November.
Remember, this is the same man Trump pardoned just a few months ago — and now Arpaio’s running (presumably) with his blessing.
I am sure many of you are thinking someone as awful as Joe Arpaio couldn’t win an election, even in Arizona, but that’s the same mentality that led to Trump’s victory just over a year ago.
Yes, we defeated Roy Moore in Alabama last month — but only because so many people stood up to say enough is enough to electing divisive politicians who will prey on the vulnerable. Including this community which raised over $400,000 for Doug Jones’ campaign.
We can do it again — and in the process put Democrats one step closer to winning back the Senate and sending an unmistakable message that the people of this country are fed up with politicians who want to divide us and target communities of color. Together let’s boost Kyrsten Sinema’s campaign to help ensure she has the resources it’ll take to win.
Donate $3 now to support Kyrsten Sinema — someone with the courage to stand up to Trump and be a fearless fighter on behalf of working people and the more vulnerable among us.
Thanks for everything you do.
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
