Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA) in support of U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr.’s (D. PA) re-election campaign:
Let me tell you something about Rep. Lou Barletta, the far-right candidate whom Trump endorsed in Pennsylvania’s Senate race earlier this month.
While he was mayor of Hazleton, Barletta implemented an anti-immigrant ordinance that was so severe and draconian that it was struck down in federal court.
Throughout his political career, Barletta has rubbed elbows with white supremacists, 9/11-truthers, and Holocaust deniers. He’s even given interviews to their fringe publications, headlined one of their rallies, and appeared with one of their bands.
In the House, Barletta has voted with President Trump 100% of the time. In the Senate, he will be a rubber-stamp for the most dangerous and hateful parts of the Trump agenda. We can’t afford that—and that’s why I’m reaching out:
Democrats cannot afford to lose Pennsylvania’s Senate seat in 2018. That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $25 or whatever you can to re-elect Bob Casey and protect the Senate’s firewall against the Trump administration.
My colleague Bob will fight for our shared values. He is a fierce defender of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and affordable health care. He proved to be a champion for Americans with disabilities when he passed landmark legislation to help them save for their futures.
In short: Bob’s on your side. Now it’s our turn to be on his when he needs us most.
Join me today and make a donation to Bob’s re-election campaign before the end of the month.
Thanks,
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
