Congress has long been made up of old, white men who do the bidding of powerful corporations.
I got to Washington in 2019, and I've never fit that mold. I'm a single mom of three who is determined to "do Congress" differently than most of my colleagues.
- I'm one of just eleven (out of 435!) Members of Congress who don't take federal lobbyist money.
- I'm the only candidate in this race who has never taken corporate PAC money, and I fully support banning it.
- When Congress brought back "earmarks" in 2021 (after they had been banned in 2011 because the process leads to corruption and waste) I was the only Democrat to oppose them.
- I'm leading the fight to ban Members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks. It's plain wrong that Members are getting rich off information we learn in private briefings.
I need your help if I am going to win this race and shake up the Senate. We have a really important end of quarter deadline coming up on 12/31. Can you chip in before then?

Thanks a ton!
