Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA) in support of U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s (D. WI) re-election campaign:
Friends,
As a child, my friend and colleague Tammy Baldwin was diagnosed with a serious illness, and for much of her life struggled to gain access to health insurance because of her “pre-existing condition.”
That’s why she has fought throughout her entire career to champion protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Like me, she believes health care is a right and has done everything in her power to fight the GOP’s disastrous plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
And as we expect a vote on Trumpcare next week, I wanted to let you know that Tammy is facing intense attacks from an out-of-state multi-millionaire who has invested $2 million to defeat her.
It’s why we’re participating in today’s “Cheddarbomb” to support her campaign, and help them fight back by raising $30,000 online today. So I’m asking:
Can you make a contribution of $3, or whatever is meaningful to you, to help Tammy Baldwin fight back and build a winning campaign in 2018?
It’s been estimated that 85% of outside attacks against 2018 Senate candidates have been directed at Tammy.
That’s outrageous.
But it’s an example of just how effective an advocate she’s been for those who are being targeted by Trumpcare. Knowing the struggle of health care firsthand gives Tammy remarkable insight and compassion that has informed her work in the Senate.
I’ve seen it throughout this fight — Tammy is not going to fall silent. She is going to stand with us to ensure no one is denied coverage for having a pre-existing condition and that everyone in America has the right to access quality and affordable health insurance.
Team — Can you rush an urgent contribution of $3 to Tammy’s campaign to make sure that she’s not silenced by outside money for standing up for health care access?
If we raise $30,000 online today for Tammy’s campaign, we will send a powerful message to the Republicans and the billionaire super PACs that we will not be silenced when people’s lives are on the line.
Thanks for all you do.
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
