Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) in support of U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D. WI), Claire McCaskill (D. MO) & Rep. Jacky Rosen’s (D. NV) campaigns:
2016 didn’t turn out the way we wanted. 2018 isn’t going to be easier.
Half of our Senate Democrats are up for reelection in 2018 (including me). That includes half of all the women in the Senate. The Republicans need to defend only 8 seats.
I know what you’re thinking: Those numbers make my heart rate go up, too. Losing just one seat would make it that much tougher to fight for working families.
And three of those Democratic Senate candidates need your help right now:
- Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin): My friend Tammy Baldwin is a fighter. Ever since we joined the Senate together in 2013, she’s been fighting every day for working families in Wisconsin and across the country. After Russ Feingold’s heartbreaking loss in 2016, the Republicans already have invested millions to knock out Tammy next year. We need to do all we can to keep her in the Senate.
- Claire McCaskill (Missouri): Nobody speaks her mind and fights for what she believes in like Claire McCaskill, and a lot of people respect that. Even so, Missouri is going to be one of our toughest races in 2018. Last year, Donald Trump won big in Missouri -- so Republicans see it as a prime opportunity to chip away at the Democratic minority. Claire is going to fight as hard as she can -- but she needs our help.
- Jacky Rosen (Nevada): When I first met Jacky Rosen, I knew she had the fight in her to do something great. Jacky is a force to be reckoned with in the House, and I’m glad she’s taking on a big new fight: Challenging Republican Senator Dean Heller. She’s one of our best shots at picking up a Republican seat in 2018 -- but Republicans are ready to dump buckets of money into Nevada to keep the seat red. Jacky gives us a great chance to pick up a seat, but to do that, she’s going to need our help.
Tammy, Claire and Jacky are three strong women who will fight tirelessly, day in and day out, for working families across this country. We can’t let Republicans buy themselves a bigger Republican majority to rig the system even more for the rich and powerful.
We need to level the playing field and protect our Democratic firewall in the Senate -- and that starts with supporting Tammy Baldwin, Claire McCaskill, and Jacky Rosen today. Chip in now before their September 30th deadline.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
