Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D. NJ) in support of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D. MO) re-election campaign:
This weekend, I’m joining my friend and colleague Claire McCaskill on the campaign trail in Missouri.
Claire is a true leader and fighter for working class families. I’ve had the privilege to work with Claire as New Jersey’s junior senator and I’ve witnessed her countless times on the Senate floor fighting for Missourians, and bringing their voices with her to the Senate every day.
Missourians and Americans across our country simply can’t afford to lose Claire’s leadership – or risk having Missouri’s Senate seat flip red.
Unfortunately, Claire faces a tough battle ahead to win reelection this November. Special interest groups are pouring money into the race to defeat Claire – and we need to fight back. Will you chip in right now to help protect Missouri’s Democratic Senate seat?
Senator McConnell and President Trump are doing everything they can to replace Claire with someone who will rubber stamp their agenda.
We can’t let that happen. Claire is the leader Missouri deserves because she won’t let anything get in the way of doing what’s right for Missouri families. Please chip in, whatever you can, to make sure Claire can keep fighting for Missouri.
Here’s just some of the work she’s doing for the state she loves. She recently passed the bipartisan Arla Harrell Act, which will make sure that veterans get the benefits they deserve after the US military subjected them to secret mustard gas experiments in WWII.
After her investigation into the role prescription drug makers played in fueling the opioid epidemic, the CEO of a pharmaceutical company who illegally pushed opioids onto patients has been arrested. Claire also passed legislation to help Missouri families with the rising cost of prescription drugs and works every day to ensure pharmaceutical companies are not unfairly profiting off of Americans.
And that’s not all. After Claire discovered that a website called Backpage was trafficking women and children for sex, she launched a bipartisan investigation. Claire fought for two years to shut down Backpage and hold them accountable for their crimes — and won.
This race is going to be tough. But if I know Claire, I know she’s not about to back down. And neither am I. Are you with us?
When I see Claire tomorrow, I want to be able to show her that we have her back. Will you step up and contribute $25 to her campaign today?
I couldn’t be more honored to work with Claire in the Senate.
Let’s join together to help keep her there.
Cory
