Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) in support of Rep. Jacky Rosen’s (D. NV) U.S. Senate campaign:
The world is on fire right now. If we’re going to hold the Trump administration accountable for locking children in cages, or trying to rip health care away from millions of people, or a zillion other things, then it’s not enough to just help me get re-elected this November.
We have to take back the majority in the Senate – no matter how tough that fight will be.
That’s why I spent all day yesterday in Reno and Las Vegas – speaking at the Nevada Democratic Convention and campaigning for our terrific Senate candidate, Jacky Rosen.
Donald Trump was also in Nevada yesterday – calling Jacky names and trying to bully her the same way he tries to bully me. Can you pitch in $5 to help her fight back and take back this Senate seat?
26 Senate Democrats are up for re-election this November (including me) – 10 in states that Trump won in 2016. Only a few vulnerable Republicans are up on the other side.
If we are going to take back the Senate in November, we NEED to win in Nevada. And Jacky Rosen is just the person to do it.
After Jacky became the first in her family to graduate from college, she jumped headfirst into the male-dominated computer programming industry. She’s brought that same energy and spunk with her into the US House of Representatives.
Whether it’s fighting for affordable healthcare, better pay for teachers, or protecting Nevada’s beautiful natural environment (a place Bruce and I love to go hiking), Jacky knows what’s in the hearts and minds of working families in Nevada and all across the country.
Jacky’s opponent – Republican Senator Dean Heller – is the most vulnerable senator in the country, and for good reason. He voted repeatedly to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He voted for the GOP tax scam to line the pockets of his biggest donors. He stood behind Donald Trump and laughed while middle class families are hurting.
We can win in Nevada – and I’m doing everything I can to help. Will you join this fight and donate $5 – or whatever you can afford – to help us win?
When I spoke in Reno yesterday, I was blown away by the energy of the crowd. It’s no wonder why Nevada’s remarkable grassroots organization got Catherine Cortez Masto elected in 2016. And that’s why we’re going to win again in 2018.
But Nevada is going to be one of the toughest races in the entire country. The margins are razor-thin. The Republicans and their billionaire donors are once again going to dump a ton of dark money into this state and do everything they can to keep their Republican in the Senate.
Jacky has a real shot of winning this – a real, fighting chance. She just needs a grassroots army to help her.
Please donate now to help elect Jacky Rosen to the United States Senate. Every single donation is another step towards electing a majority that will stand up to Donald Trump and fight for working families.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
