Together, we’re going to beat Mitch McConnell

Thanks for joining the team.

Jason,

Thanks so much for joining the team that's going to help me replace Mitch McConnell in the United States Senate.

First off, I want to let you know that we can win this: We've pulled to a virtual tie in polling, we've closed the gap in fundraising, and we're giving Mitch the biggest challenge he's seen in his 35-year career.

The bad news is, Mitch is already on the attack—he's been on the air for months and has shown he's willing to lie about me and my positions. I'll be fighting back every step of the way. Can you make a donation today to help make sure voters know what's at stake in this election?

For some background: Mitch McConnell has been Kentucky's senator since I was 9 years old. During his more than three decades in office, he's been an unabashed career politician—putting D.C. lobbyists, special-interest allies, and his own political career ahead of our country, our Constitution, and the needs of Kentuckians.

Along the way, he's turned Washington into something we all despise. And the partisan games he's played this year—while our nation has been gutted by the medical and economic impacts of the coronavirus—have proven again how urgently Mitch needs to go.

I will be a different kind of senator. I graduated from the Naval Academy, fought hard for the opportunity to fly fighter jets, and served 20 years in the Marine Corps, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. I deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, where I flew 89 combat missions and became the first woman in the Marine Corps to fly in an F/A-18 in combat. After retiring from the Marines, I'm ready to serve our country again.

If elected, I plan to bring back some basic values I learned as a Marine and a mom: Put people first. Accomplish the mission. Always put our country's interests over partisan politics, no matter what.

Our leaders need to learn to work together again. That's what we do at our own kitchen table—my husband, Erik, a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran, is a lifelong Republican. The oaths we took were to our Constitution, not a political party.

As Kentucky's next U.S. senator, I plan to be a leader who is ready to work with anyone to solve our problems, and ready to stand up to anyone who gets in the way—no matter their party.

Here's the thing: we all know this is going to be a hard race. Mitch McConnell has over $15 million in the bank—and that doesn't count the special interests already spending big to keep their guy in power.

I'm not afraid of Mitch McConnell and his deep-pocketed friends because we have proven that grassroots campaigns work. With you on my side, I know we can win this.

Make a donation of any amount to fund our campaign—and let's show the world that we have a team that can defeat Mitch McConnell and restore moral leadership in Washington.

Defeat Mitch. Defend democracy.

Let's go,
Amy
