									 Hey John, can I share something with you? 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 When I came out in college, I knew I was interested in a career in public service. But I feared that I would have to face a serious choice between pursuing the field of my dreams or living my authentic life openly. 
									 | 
								
								
									
									 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 After seeing others in the LGBTQ+ community demonstrate acts of courage by coming out, being themselves, and being public about who they are and who they love, I came to realize that I could do both:  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 I could run for office and be honest about who I am — so that’s exactly what I did. 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 When I became the first openly gay Senator elected in our nation’s history, I understood that I needed to use this extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. From lowering prescription drug prices to protecting same-sex marriage through the Respect for Marriage Act, I’ve worked hard every day since to do just that.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 That's why I ran for office in the first place — not to make history, but to make a difference. And folks like you supported me because you wanted to make a difference, too. 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 I’m facing my most competitive and expensive reelection yet, so I can’t keep up this work without your help. Will you help me continue to make a difference by splitting a donation between my reelection campaign and Catherine Cortez Masto’s today?

									| 
									 We have made incredible progress over the years in the fight for equality — but John, we cannot mistake that progress for a total victory. 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 Republican-led state legislatures across the country continue to pass harmful legislation, especially targeting the transgender community and LGBTQ+ youth. In 2024 alone, 515 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the country.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 It’s going to take all of us to counter these right wing attacks so everyone grows up knowing they belong, and that kindness and inclusion — not hatred and division — are American values.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 This Pride Month, I’m hoping you’ll support this important work by splitting a donation between my reelection campaign and Catherine’s to send me back to the United States Senate. 
									 |

									| 
									 Thank you for your ongoing support. Let’s recommit ourselves to work towards the day when all LGBTQ+ Americans can live in a world where they feel safe, accepted, and loved. 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 Happy Pride, John! 🏳️🌈
