Sula Costa Daily NYC

 

I just officially announced that I’m running for re-election in 2024. I never in a zillion years thought I'd be a U.S. Senator. But my life has had a lot of twists and turns, just like a lot of people's. I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class. After my daddy’s heart attack, my family came within an inch from losing our house, but my mother got a minimum wage job at Sears that saved our family. I dropped out of college at 19 to get married, but got a second chance at a public college that cost $50 a semester and got to live my dream of becoming a public school teacher. I’ve dedicated my career to studying why families go broke and fighting to rebuild the middle class. After Wall Street crashed our economy in 2008, I fought to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect people from getting scammed by big banks and corporations. The CFPB has already returned about $16 billion to American consumers who’ve been cheated. After Senate Republicans vowed to block my nomination to serve as the CFPB’s first director, I went back home to Massachusetts and ran against one of them —  and I beat him. I ran to tax greedy corporations, to invest in jobs and our infrastructure, and to rein in student loan companies. And guess what? We got it all done. But the fight to make our government work for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected — isn’t over. So I’m running for re-election to keep up the fight. Will you split a donation between Jacky Rosen and my re-election today so I can keep fighting for working families alongside her? Thanks for being a part of this,  Elizabeth   Friend, my team and I just set our first end-of-quarter goal of the year – and before I ask you to help us reach it, I need to explain why this is so important.  Experts at CNN are calling me one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country – and I am a top GOP target for defeat. We can defy the odds and win this race – but not without critical grassroots support from folks like you.    Please, friend, will you chip in $5 or more – split between my campaign and Catherine’s – right now to help us hit our ambitious end-of-quarter goal, win in Ohio, and defend the Senate for Democrats? I’m determined to keep up the fight for workers and families in Ohio – and to defend our Senate majority so we can continue making desperately needed progress for the American people. But I simply cannot defend my battleground seat and deliver this progress without you by my side. So please, before midnight tonight, can I count on you to chip in $5 or more – split between my campaign and Catherine’s – so we can hit our crucial end-of-quarter fundraising goal and power our reelection campaign to victory? Every dollar counts as we work to combat dangerous GOP extremism and defend our Senate majority.

Chip in $100 now ($500 impact!) Chip in another amount » This could be one of Democrats’ most important battles of the entire year. Let’s break down what exactly is going on. After a primary last month, liberal Janet Protasiewicz is facing off against extreme right-winger Dan Kelly for an open Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin. The winner of this election will be a deciding vote in critical issues like voting rights, abortion, and redistricting. This could be our best shot in over a decade to build Democratic power and safeguard our freedoms in a swing state that’s long been gerrymandered to give Republicans an unfair advantage. But the GOP is flooding the state with resources – in this race alone, election-denying groups have poured in nearly $4 million to swing this race in their favor, and Wisconsin Republicans just announced a massive fundraising haul. We have one thing Republicans don’t: An empowered team of dedicated grassroots supporters who are ready to mobilize to get the job done and support Democrats in the states. That’s you. Can we count on you? Donate $7 (becomes $35!) today to help us build Democratic power in state legislatures across the country >> Thanks, – Team DLCC 5X-MATCH: ACTIVE » I have an important update on the state of our race, so I wanted to personally reach out: FIRST, I launched my campaign to represent California in the U.S. Senate, where there are currently no Black women serving today. THEN, Fox News and MAGA extremists wasted no time launching a smear campaign against me to stall my momentum. NOW, I'm falling short of what I need to fight back against these extremist attacks and win this race. With experts saying I'm already at a fundraising disadvantage, we can't afford to miss a single goal. But with time running out before my midnight deadline, we're on track to fall just short. That's why I need to ask: Will you split a donation of $10 between my campaign and The Collective PAC right now to help me close this fundraising gap, win in California and build a progressive future for all of us?
