Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D. NJ) in support of his colleague, U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr.’s (D. PA) re-election campaign:
If 2016 taught us anything, it’s that we can’t take anything for granted.
When Pennsylvania went red in the last presidential election for the first time since 1988, it was a real wake-up call.
So when President Trump and his allies in Congress started making a lot of noise about Pennsylvania’s Senate race last week, I paid attention. My friend and colleague Bob Casey has been a real champion for families in our region and across the United States, and now that Trump and his allies are attacking him, we need to have his back.
Republicans are going to do everything in their power to flip Pennsylvania’s Senate seat this year – we need to step up and help Bob build a strong team of grassroots donors to help push back. Can you chip in $10 right now to show them where you stand?
Bob’s opponent in the race is Congressman Lou Barletta. As the Republican representative for Pennsylvania’s 11th District, Barletta has voted with Trump almost 99% of the time, and has said that if he wins Pennsylvania’s Senate seat, he’ll “give President Trump the help he needs” to pass his dangerous agenda. We can’t let that happen.
Democrats must take back the Senate majority so we can stop President Trump from advancing his backwards, destructive policies – and we can’t do that if we lose Pennsylvania.
Bob has been a crucial firewall against the Trump administration and we need him to win in November. Support him by chipping in $10 or whatever you can right now:
Thanks for stepping up for Bob Casey, so he can continue standing up to President Trump.
Cory
