Friend, I like to say I come from a long line of strong, fearless women who didn’t know the meaning of the word “impossible.”

My grandmother, Polly, was a force of nature. She organized women into a political force in Albany — well before most women had any political power. 

My mother was one of just three women in her law school class — and a black belt in karate. I remember her baking cookies with my friends and me, all the while emptying the dishwasher and talking on the phone to file the details of an adoption case she was working on.

When I first ran for Congress back in 2006, my mom was one of the only people who thought I could win. I was told that my purple, upstate New York district had more cows than Democrats.

But I believed then — as I do now — that the toughest fights are always worth taking on. We won that race, and it’s been the honor of my life to serve New York ever since.

I’ve always said: Government only works when people raise their voices and demand change. It’s a pretty simple premise, really. But with Washington so overrun by corporate lobbyists and special interests who trade money for access, it doesn’t happen enough. 

But together, I believe that we can effect real, meaningful change in Washington. I believe we can protect and restore reproductive rights nationwide. I believe we can ensure that every American has quality, affordable health care. I believe we can fight global climate change, make paid family and medical leave a reality for all Americans, enact meaningful gun safety laws and build a more just and equitable economy.

With so much at stake, friend, I need your help. Democrats are hanging on to our Senate majority by a thread. Mitch McConnell only needs to flip two seats to retake control. And because I refuse to take a single cent from corporate PACs, I can’t fight back against the GOP’s megadonor machine, keep this seat blue and defend our narrow majority without your grassroots support.

So please, will you donate $5 or more right now to help me defeat the GOP in New York, defend the Senate for Democrats and continue fearlessly fighting for you in Washington?

Kirsten
