 | | | .jpg) | | Team, happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 | | I'm Angie Craig. I'm a Minnesotan, a wife, a mom and Mimi (grandmother), a WNBA fan, and a beer-lover. | | I'd also be the first lesbian mom elected to the U.S. Senate. | | It wasn't that long ago that being an out lesbian would make it almost impossible to run for office. Growing up as a teenager in the 1980s, I never could have imagined that I'd be elected to Congress (let alone be a candidate for Senate!). | | Donald Trump wants to take us back to those times. Like hell he will, if I have anything to say about it. | | So friend, I'm coming to you with an important request: Will you celebrate Pride Month by splitting $5 between Jacky Rosen and my historic campaign for U.S. Senate and defeat the GOP opposition that aims to strip away our rights? | | | | Pride has always been a special time for me and my family, friend. | | My wife Cheryl and I love marching in our local Pride parade each year — but Pride is more than just a celebration. It's a time to reflect on the strides we've made to be able to live freely and authentically — and to demand more from our leaders. | | The first Pride — following the Stonewall riots of 1969 — was a protest in response to the government's anti-LGBTQ+ policies. We should never lose sight of that. | | The Trump administration is going after the LGBTQ+ community nonstop. Lord knows we need to stand up for our rights now more than ever. | | I'm running for U.S. Senate to be a fierce defender of LGBTQ+ folks and to fight against the GOP's harmful policies — from targeting marriage equality to passing book bans. | | If you're with me, will you split $5 between Jacky Rosen's campaign and mine to help me make history as the first lesbian mom elected to the U.S. Senate? | | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Angie Craig and Jacky Rosen will go through immediately: | | Thanks for standing with me, Angie | |  |  | |  | |
