Growing up with two brothers, I had a fierce competitive streak.

I was the only girl on my little league baseball team and could catch my dad’s pop-flies in the backyard better than my brothers.

The three of us would set up Indy 500-style bike races on our cul-de-sac. Winner got bragging rights. Loser got the snacks from the house.

Fast forward a few decades and I’m channeling that same energy into a much bigger race: Taking down Lindsey Graham and flipping South Carolina blue.

He’s been in the Senate since I was 22. I’ve had 3 kids, cared for thousands more, and taught hundreds of med students and residents.

And let me tell you — they all deserve better than the future Lindsey Graham is fighting for.

I’m in this race because I’ve got fire. I’ve got purpose. And unlike him, I’ve got a soul.

But, John, I’ve never been the one to back down from a tough race. That’s why I’ve set an ambitious $250,000 fundraising goal to show Graham that we have the power to win this.

Can I count on you to rush a split donation of $15 between Democracy Defense Action and my campaign right away to become a Founding Donor to my Democratic campaign for U.S. Senate? >>

We’ve got a race to win.
