Blog de Dunlap: What I saw in Wisconsin and Minnesota

Danielle, this year, I'm running for re-election to continue the fight for Massachusetts families in the U.S. Senate.

Sometimes, that fight looks like delivering billions of dollars in federal funding for infrastructure upgrades in our Commonwealth. Or securing emergency funds to keep child care centers open when the pandemic started. Or cutting the costs of hearing aids. Or taxing big freeloading corporations to help pay for tackling the climate crisis.

And sometimes, that fight looks like campaigning for other Democrats across the country. Because here's the way I see it: our future in Massachusetts — and in every state across the country — depends on whether we protect our Senate majority.

Because if Republicans take back power — and they're fighting tooth and nail for it — they are coming after abortion everywhere in this country. They're coming after IVF in this country, and they're coming after contraception — birth control, IUDs, Plan B, everything. Not just in red states, but nationally — red states, blue states, purple states, everywhere.

So on the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, I was in Wisconsin talking about how we can codify abortion rights across the country with a new federal law, but only if we re-elect President Biden with a pro-choice Democratic Congress. And defending our Senate majority requires re-electing my friend Senator Tammy Baldwin, who's in a highly competitive re-election race in the state.

Then I kept up the fight with a swing through Minnesota to rally Democratic voters for Joe Biden and talk about what we need to do to protect abortion rights and save our democracy.

And I kept talking with dedicated volunteers who know that everything is on the line this year. They know how powerfully important it is to take every possible action between now and November to secure victory. They also know they're not alone — they're fighting alongside you and people all over America.

Danielle, if it makes sense for you right now, will you show you're in that fight by making a donation of $100.00 or any amount? I'm doing everything I possibly can to protect abortion rights in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and every single state in our country, and your support ensures we can keep up this fight through November.

The stakes for 2024 are far higher than any one race in any one state. So we need to walk and chew gum at the same time. A new right-wing Super PAC just started up to target me in Massachusetts, and I'm taking this race very seriously while also doing my part to stop GOP extremists across the country.

From now through November, I'll continue fighting to elect Democrats who will enshrine reproductive freedom into federal law.

I'll keep working to support state-level ballot initiatives that can secure abortion rights.

I won't stop pushing to defeat Republicans who are targeting our basic rights.

And next year, if we've all done our part, we'll look back on 2024 as a turning point. A time when we rallied each other to fight all the way through Election Day. An opportunity we seized to dream big, fight hard, and win across the country.

It is an honor to fight by your side, Danielle. I never expect you to donate every time I ask, but if you're able to make a contribution right now, it would go a long way to help build our grassroots movement and make real change for families in Massachusetts and across the country.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
