The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.
“I won’t just be your Senator, I will also be your champion.”
— Elizabeth Warren
I remember exactly what I said when I walked up to the stage and delivered my acceptance speech on Election Night 2012.
I told the hundreds of volunteers there that night, and many more watching from home: “I won’t just be your Senator, I will also be your champion.” I meant every world of it. Being a United States Senator and fighting for our values has been the greatest honor of my life. But our fight isn’t over.
In less than a year, people will be heading back to the polls in Massachusetts to cast their ballots for the Senate – and I hope to recommit my promise to you and working families across the country.
I’ll be honest: This wasn’t the fight I expected us to be having when I ran for the Senate five years ago. If you had told me that Donald Trump would be President and he’d be delivering one gut-punch after another to America’s working families, I would have thought you were dreaming.
But that’s the fight in front of us – and we’re using every tool in the toolbox we’ve got to fight back.
Donald Trump wants to defeat us in 2018. Mitch McConnell wants to make us shut up. The right-wing billionaires want to spend big bucks to smear us. You know what that means? We must be doing something right.
This fight isn’t about me – it’s about the millions of Americans in Massachusetts and across the country who deserve the opportunity to succeed. We’re in this fight for students trying to get an education without sinking in debt. Seniors trying to live with dignity on their Social Security. Parents struggling to make ends meet. And we’re in this fight so everyone can build a future no matter where they’re from, how they pray, or who they love.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
