Blog de Dunlap: The most important moment of my re-election campaign so far

Danielle, tomorrow's FEC deadline is the most important moment of my re-election campaign yet. I'd like to explain why:

This will be the first time we publicly report our fundraising numbers since a Republican challenger jumped in the race.

This challenger was recruited from outside Massachusetts, has pledged $500,000 of his own money to his campaign, and can invite national Republicans, billionaires, and corporate interests to invest in getting me — and the plans we're fighting for — out of office.

We know that national Republicans will do anything to take away our Senate majority and pass Trump's extremist policies — like a national abortion ban.

We know that billionaires will use their piles of money to stop politicians who are fighting to make them finally pay their fair share in taxes.

And we know that wealthy corporate interests will support any political agenda that means less accountability, less oversight, and less taxes for them.

They'll be looking at our public fundraising report to gauge just how strong we are. So let's show them what they're up against, Danielle:

If you're able to make a contribution to support my re-election campaign today, will you contribute $100 or any amount? Your contribution will help demonstrate the strength of our grassroots campaign to our opponents — and secure the resources we need to compete against these outside interests.

OTHER AMOUNT

Yes, 2024 is about keeping Trump out of the White House. That is a top priority. But it's also about making sure Democrats can defeat Republicans everywhere. It's about the policies we're fighting for, and the people who those policies benefit.

That's why I'm fighting for policies like universal child care, taxing the rich, and making the Supreme Court follow a standard code of ethics. Policies that put power in the hands of working people instead of benefiting the wealthy and powerful.

I'm taking this FEC fundraising deadline seriously because — and I want to be clear — we need to take this race very seriously.

Because we can't underestimate the amount of support my opponent will receive from national Republicans and special interests.

We can't underestimate the threat of Republicans controlling the Senate, passing a national abortion ban, and other extremist items on Donald Trump's agenda.

And we can't underestimate what would happen if our progressive movement for universal child care, big bank regulations, and taxing the rich did not have a voice in Congress.

Unlike my opponent, this campaign is funded by grassroots donors. So if you're able, I need you to pitch in $100 or anything you can right now before midnight tomorrow so we can demonstrate our movement's strength on our upcoming FEC fundraising report.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
