John,

Last Friday, thanks to your support, I flew out to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to join my friend Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes for a campaign rally there.

Mandela is running for a winnable Republican-held seat this November that could tilt the balance of power in the Senate.

As the son of a United Auto Workers factory worker and public school teacher, his lived experience in the marginalized neighborhoods he grew up in is an experience that’s hardly common in the Senate. Mandela would be Wisconsin’s first Black senator.

And while Mandela is cut from the same cloth as our toughest Democratic fighters in the Senate, he understands that what Americans need most right now is love and hope.

Mandela understands that the way you rise is not by pushing other people down, but by telling your truth every single day and lifting people up.

In the Senate, he will be relentless.

Let me tell you, John, there are some folks who join the Senate and are instant game-changers. Mandela is one of them.

But in order for Mandela to win this fall, and to keep me on the campaign trail helping to defend our Senate majority in states across the country, we’re counting on donations from grassroots contributors like you.

So, John, I’m humbly asking: Will you split a $10 contribution between Mandela’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and ours to expand our Democratic Senate majority?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Mandela Barnes and Cory Booker will go through immediately:

Chip in $10 now Chip in $25 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

Mandela isn’t a multimillionaire like some of the other candidates in this race. So your contributions really make a difference.

And by my estimation, this is among the most important races in our nation based on the issues that Americans care about.

Whether it’s guaranteeing women access to abortions, voting rights, common-sense gun regulation, all the things stalled in the Senate right now that the majority of Americans agree on, it’s all going to hinge on what happens in Wisconsin.

Mandela’s race could decide whether we will continue to be on a radical retrenchment of core rights that Americans desire, or whether we will find a way forward.

John, I hope that if you are able, you will split a contribution between Mandela’s campaign and mine today. We couldn’t do this work without you.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
