Senator Brian Schatz (D. HI) Scored a big endorsement today:
This year, our top priority is to keep the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate. That means we can't just be on offense in states like Kentucky, South Dakota and Georgia.
It means we must defend progressive champions under attack. Senator Brian Schatz in Hawaii is at the top of that list.
Since Senator Schatz was appointed to fill Senator Inouye's seat at the end of 2012, he has worked tirelessly with Elizabeth Warren and others in the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party. He isn't just a reliable vote for progressives in Washington D.C., he takes it a step further and organizes other Senators to join him. Whether it's fighting on the front lines against climate change, defending a woman's right to choose, or expanding Social Security, Brian Schatz has proven he's a true progressive leader.
Now Sen. Schatz is under attack in the primary by a more conservative Democrat and it's up to us to get his back. Please contribute $3 to fuel the campaign to win right now.

Brian's opponent, Colleen Hanabusa, is well-funded and well-known, but she doesn't have a progressive track record like his. When others stood against marriage equality, Brian never backed down. He has stood strong against the far-right's effort to drain the middle class and ship jobs overseas.
No one leads on climate change like Sen. Schatz. Here's what Robert Harris, Director of the Sierra Club of Hawaii, said when announcing their endorsement:
"Senator Schatz is exactly the kind of clean energy leader Hawaii and America need. His commitment to homegrown, clean energy is second-to-none. Based on his lengthy background in working to protect Hawaii's environment, we are confident he is the best choice to protect Hawaii families' health, air and water, and build a clean energy economy that works for our state."
When Elizabeth Warren joined our push to expand social security, Senator Schatz was right next to her leading the way. On issue after issue, Brian is a progressive leader we can depend on.
