Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D. VT) in support of Rep. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D. AZ) U.S. Senate campaign:
Last Friday, while most of the country slept, Republicans rammed through their tax scam to raise taxes and gut health care coverage for our nation's middle class.
It was a shameful act of cowardice and greed, and we need to continue doing all we can to fight this deeply harmful legislation. Without a check from the American people, Republicans have proven -- yet again -- that they will continue to sell out hard-working families to cut a check to their billionaire donors.
As part of our resistance, it's crucial we continue to lay the groundwork to take back the Senate next fall.
With Senator Jeff Flake not running for re-election, Kyrsten Sinema's campaign in Arizona is one of our best opportunities to turn a Republican Senate seat blue in 2018.
Will you join me in supporting Kyrsten's campaign for Senate by making a contribution of $10 or more today?
I know that Kyrsten is a fighter -- she's been proving it her whole life. For almost three years while she was growing up, she lived in an abandoned gas station without running water or electricity. But she never let being homeless stop her from being who she wanted to be. Thanks to hard work and support from family, church, and the government, she made it to college and got her shot at the American dream.
She's running for Senate to make sure every American gets that same shot, and I want her fighting alongside me on the issues that matter, including tax reform.
Partisan extremists with big money -- the same ones who will benefit massively from the GOP tax scam -- are already lining up to defeat and silence her, so it's up to us to do everything we can to make sure she has the resources to fight back and win.
Will you make a contribution of $10 or more to help elect Kyrsten Sinema to the U.S. Senate?
Thanks for standing with Kyrsten and me today.
Sincerely,
Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
