Lessons learned from my loss

I lost an election earlier this year, and I'm not going to pretend that didn't hurt.   I put everything into that race. So did my family, friends, and supporters. And when it didn't go our way, I could have quietly stepped back, taken some time, and let someone else carry the fight forward.   But that's not how I was raised.   My parents came to this country with nothing. They worked hard, and they did it without complaint, because they believed complaining wasn't going to change anything. What changed things was getting back up the next morning and doing the work again. I watched them do that for years. It's the single clearest lesson of my childhood: you do not get to wallow. You keep going.   So not soon after that primary ended, I started Equal Opportunity Now.   It wasn’t because I had something to prove, it was because I still have something to give.    I've spent nearly a decade in Congress learning how this fight actually works — how campaigns get won, how corruption gets exposed, how real change actually gets made instead of just talked about. I wasn't ready to set that aside, and honestly, I don't think this moment can afford for me to.   Because here's where we are: In 40 days, we have a chance to deliver a real check on Donald Trump in the midterms. A Congress that will finally hold this administration accountable instead of rubber-stamping it. That is not a small thing. That may be the most important thing that happens in this country all year.   I am not on the ballot this November. But I am not sitting this one out either. I am doing everything I can to help elect leaders who will fight for our values.   I need you to give something too.   Chip in $25 or $50 right now to help deliver the check on Trump that we need now more than ever. DONATE NOW >> You don't wallow. You keep going.

Everything just changed

We have just 40 days to reach the 9% of undecided voters who will decide this race on the airwaves and in our voter turnout programs.    To fully fund our campaign, we need to raise $200,000 before midnight, or Susan Collins will run away with this race. So please, will you chip in to help Equal Opportunity Now and me flip the Senate? →  DONATE TODAY TO FLIP MAINE! >> Susan Collins has $60 million in billionaire and PAC money flooding in to secure her victory. When she sees this rating shift, she is going to call those same donors and ask them to dump more money into Maine to buy her seat and the Senate Majority.   Our campaign is different. The only reason we were able to knock doors, hire staff, print yard signs, air ads, and get this far at all is thanks to you.    Your grassroots support is what shifted this race from Tilt R→Toss-Up, and your grassroots support is what’s going to win this race.    🔵 Your $5 will DEFEAT Susan Collins. 🔵 Your $5 will END the Republican Senate Majority. 🔵 Your $5 will RUIN the rest of Trump’s presidency.    We need to raise $200,000 before midnight, or Susan Collins will buy her way to victory.

A crazy, deranged, disturbed man

Hello Sandeep, it’s Congresswoman Maxine Waters with an important message: Donald Trump is a crazy, deranged, disturbed man. He has spent the past two years pushing the limits of his power, Constitution be damned. That’s why I spoke out as the first Democrat in Congress to demand the 25th Amendment – because Donald Trump is unfit to hold office. But with MAGA Republicans in control, our felon president will NEVER face checks and balances, let alone consequences for the terror he has wrought on our communities. It is up to us to elect a Democratic majority who will finally tell Donald Trump, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.” We only have 41 days to put in the work necessary to win, so I’m coming to you directly for your support, Sandeep. Can you commit at least $10 to my campaign and Equality PAC right now, so we have the resources to elect Democrats nationwide and defeat the Trump Presidency? DONATE $10 >> Here’s the deal: ➡️ Democrats are WINNING the popular vote. ➡️ Donald Trump is DOWNRIGHT SCARED of losing power. ➡️ Now, the work falls to us to make sure Democrats win this fall and WIPE TRUMP’S ORANGE STAIN off of our nation. We’ve all seen the lengths Trump will go to stop any attempt to rein in his unchecked power. He has threatened to cancel our midterm elections, do away with vote‑by‑mail, and throw out ballots that don’t vote his way. That’s why I urgently need the support of Democrats like you for the next 41 days, Sandeep. Just 41 days to WIN: Will you stand with me against Donald Trump by making a split donation to my reelection campaign and Equality PAC today? Your impact will be felt greatly by our teams, who are working day and night to elect a Democratic majority and defeat Trump’s MAGA Movement.
