Katie: We did it

We did it, friend!

Over the past nine months, we worked together to build our grassroots campaign from the ground up.

Our volunteers pounded the pavement to talk to voters, our staff put in long hours and late nights, and we fought for every last vote. Our grassroots donors chipped in $5 here and $10 there to make sure we had the resources to compete. And your hard work paid off, big time.

I'm proud to be Pennsylvania's Democratic nominee to take on -- and beat -- Pat Toomey this November. Pennsylvanians deserve a champion who will fight on behalf of families to make college more affordable, to raise the minimum wage, and to make sure that all Americans have access to affordable health care.

Friend, we've got a long, hard road ahead -- but our victory today proves that this grassroots team has what it takes to pull together and win.

I'll be calling on you for your support soon enough. But right now, I just want to say thank you. I mean it when I say I couldn't have done this without you.

Thank you for everything,

Katie

Mary: Arkansans are frustrated with the news that comes out of Washington

Image
Friend, When Conner was a federal prosecutor, he saw some awful things -- terrible crimes that people commit, especially against children. But not once did I hear him say he wanted to walk away from the tough cases.  If anything, I only saw more of a resolve to make sure that these cases were handled appropriately and that justice was served.  He made a pledge to carry out his job, and he was going to do it, no matter how difficult the circumstances. That’s the type of senator Conner will be, too. One who honors his commitment to the people he represents.  One who sees things through. One who never stops fighting to make Arkansas a better place. I’m proud to support Conner in his Senate race, and I’m asking you to help, too.  Will you chip in $5, or whatever you can, before Saturday's end-of-month deadline? Conner gets that so many Arkansans are frustrated with the news that comes out of Washington. It’s always about more partisanship, more obstruction, more obstinance -- rarely

Joni: retired Air Force Colonel,

gangsta rap-  In Arizona, fellow soldier and conservative candidate, Martha McSally, is headed to a recount in her election against incumbent Democrat Ron Barber. Martha's current lead and path toward victory is down to just 161 votes. It would be a honor to count Martha McSally among my colleagues in Washington - but that's not going to happen if she loses her recount.   By the way: Martha's Democratic opponent has hired President Obama's legal team to win the recount.  She needs us to stand with her as she fights them:  https://www.nrcc.org/Recount-Fund   A retired Air Force Colonel, Martha has excelled every step of the way.  If she doesn't have the funds to hire a strong team of her own,  her loss is almost guaranteed. Don't let this slip away.  Please support Martha McSally's recount and and help us increase our majority in Congress.   Thank you,  Joni Senator-Elect Joni Ernst (R-IA)

Gabby: look at how far we’ve come

    Robert, For me,  EMILY's List has always been like family.  You were with me since I first ran for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives. Every step of the way, EMILY's List has always asked: "What can we do to help?" I've seen it time after time -- EMILY's List is there for Democratic women facing tough fights at every level of government. Will you join me and make sure women running for office -- from city council to President  -- get the support they need? EMILY's List was there to help my good friend Kirsten Gillibrand become a Congresswoman and now Senator of New York. They supported another good friend of mine, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as she rose to chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. And, today, I am in Washington to help them recognize Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams with the Rising Star Award -- an honor given to a woman with a promising future of public service ahead of her -- at t

Tim: Bill Maher’s use of a racial epithet.

Our veterans deserve the absolute best care possible. Unfortunately, subpar management, long wait lines, and lack of accountability have plagued the Department of Veterans Affairs for years. An organization that was created to help our veterans has fallen short time and time again in providing the medical attention our service members have both earned and deserve. While many VA employees do an amazing job every day, the fact remains th

For example, it’s a poorly kept secret that academic bastions of leftist ideology have long been discriminating against Asians. Harvard leads the pack. With our friends at the Allied Educational Foundation (AEF), we filed an  amici curiae brief  in support of Students for Fair Admission’s petition for a  writ of certiorari  to the Supreme Court, challenging the decision of the U.S. District Court for the First Circuit that upholds Harvard College’s race-based affirmative action admissions program.

#TheBlackDeal Update: President Trump has completed Promise No. 4

Our government has totally failed our African American friends, our Hispanic friends and the people of our country. Period," Trump said during a rally in Akron, Ohio.  Last month, he rolled out a new deal for Black America.  Now that Trump has been elected as the 45th President of the United States let's see what happens. 1. Great Education Through School Choice.  We will allow every disadvantaged child in America to attend the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. School choice is the great civil rights issue of our time, and Donald Trump will be the nation’s biggest cheerleader for school choice in all 50 states. We will also ensure funding for Historic Black Colleges and Universities, more affordable 2 and 4-year college, and support for trade and vocational education. 2. Safe Communities.  We will make our communities safe again. Every poor African-American child must be able to walk down the street in peace. Safety is a civil ri
