Leslie, Donald Trump has a woman problem. Nine women, to be specific. We have nine – yes, NINE – incredible Democratic women running for the Senate in 2016. Nine smart, tough, experienced Democratic women who can take back the Democratic majority in the Senate – and build a Trump-proof firewall that’s strong enough to stop his dangerous, reckless agenda. Over the past two days, EMILY’s List – a terrific organization that helps elect pro-choice Democratic women – has set a goal to raise $125,000 for our nine Democratic women Senate candidates by midnight tonight. Can we do our part and raise $25,000?



Donate right now to our nine Democratic women Senate candidates and help us flip the Senate in 2016. Imagine what the Senate will be like next year if we elect all nine of our Democratic women in November. That would make 20 Democratic women in the Senate – not enough, but a good start. Think about what we’ll be able to fight for – and who we’ll be able to fight for. It’s not impossible – just look at our great team of candidates:

Patty Murray (Washington): Only one Democratic woman senator is running for re-election this year: Washington Senator Patty Murray. As the chairwoman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, she’s our caucus leader in fighting for students, for seniors, and for working families. We need Patty’s leadership in the Senate now more than ever.

Tammy Duckworth (Illinois): Tammy Duckworth fought for our country as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Iraq – and now she fights for Illinois families in Congress. Tammy is up in the polls and outraised Republican Senator Mark Kirk by more than double in the last fundraising quarter. The pundits say Illinois is our top Senate pickup opportunity in 2016, and Tammy’s just the right fighter to do it.

Kamala Harris (California): Senator Barbara Boxer is retiring this year, and we need another progressive fighter to fill that Senate seat in California. I worked with Attorney General Kamala Harris after the 2008 financial crisis, and I know she’ll be a strong partner in the Senate for families in California and across the country.

Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire): Governor Maggie Hassan has done a terrific job in New Hampshire – she’s got a strong and popular record of freezing college tuition rates, investing in basic infrastructure, and expanding access to health care. The polls are tight, and Republican Kelly Ayotte and the right-wing Super PACs are throwing the kitchen sink at Maggie because they know that she can win this race.

Patty Judge (Iowa): Senator Chuck Grassley is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee – which makes him the top Republican blocking President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. He’s feeling the heat for his reckless, unconstitutional obstructionism – in large part thanks to his Democratic opponent, former Iowa Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Agriculture Patty Judge. We can count on Patty to put Iowa families first – not petty, partisan politics.

Ann Kirkpatrick (Arizona): Ann Kirkpatrick is a tough, strong, and independent member of Congress – and right now she’s polling neck and neck with Arizona Senator John McCain. The experts say: “This is the type of race that can sneak up on you.” We need to put Ann in a position to make that possible.

Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada): Democratic Leader Harry Reid is retiring this year, and we have a tough, smart candidate running for the open seat: Former Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto. She stood up to the big banks for homeowners during the 2008 housing crash, and she fought to stop human trafficking in Nevada. We need to save this seat to win the majority, and Catherine can do it.

Katie McGinty (Pennsylvania): Pennsylvania has voted for the Democrats in presidential elections for nearly 30 years – and in 2016, they should vote Democratic for the Senate too. Katie McGinty is a proven leader on clean energy and environmental policies – she’s served as the head of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. She’s up in her most recent poll, and we need her expertise and leadership in the Senate.

She also spent 10 years fighting for North Carolina families in the State House, and served as Executive Director of the ACLU of North Carolina. Not only does Deborah fight for fairness and opportunity – but she’s running a terrific campaign. She just outraised her opponent, Senator Richard Burr, for the second fundraising quarter in a row. We lost a Democratic woman senator in North Carolina in 2014 – but we can make up for it in 2016.

Patty, Tammy, Kamala, Maggie, Patty, Ann, Catherine, Katie and Deborah can win in November, take back the Democratic majority in the Senate, and stop Donald Trump – but they need your help right now to fight. Please donate now to help us raise $25,000 for the EMILY’s list “flip the Senate” push. Even $5 makes a big difference. When I was traveling across Massachusetts during our campaign, I would tell all the little girls I'd meet the same thing. We would pinky swear, and I'd tell them: "I'm Elizabeth Warren and I'm running for the United States Senate, because that's what girls do."

Sorry, Donald. That’s what girls do – and no matter what you say, you can’t stop us.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
