[Adam Schiff for Senate]( [{NAME} â Today, Iâm asking you to pitch in just $10 to my campaign for the U.S. Senate, ahead of our upcoming mid-month deadline. Iâll explain why in a moment.]( [DONATE $10]( I recently read this article in the New York Times: The Very Rich G.O.P. Senate Candidates Bidding for Working-Class Votes âThe intentional decision by Republicans in Washington, D.C., to get behind candidates with enormous personal fortunes will most likely give the party a boost as it struggles for campaign cash against the Democratsâ formidable grass-roots fund-raising operations. But the sheer affluence of the candidates â and how they made their money â is sure to be a factor in the fight for Senate control.â {NAME}, while Republicans have struggled to build grassroots support for their campaigns, theyâve turned to ultra-wealthy, far-right celebrity candidates to run for office â including Steve Garvey right here in California. Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicansâ campaign arm have successfully recruited candidates in Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin who can spend millions of their own money on their campaigns. Not to mention the flood of super PAC dollars from Mitch McConnellâs GOP dark-money donors. For McConnell and Trump, thatâs good news. More than 200,000 of Trumpâs 2020 donors have abandoned his campaign, and heâs relying on wealthy self-funders to pick up the slack as he diverts his donorsâ money to his mounting legal bills. For years, I have worked hard to reform our campaign finance system, and together weâve built this campaign without a penny of corporate PAC money. {NAME}, itâs not just about talking the talk â to reform our corrupt campaign finance system, we need to walk the walk. I introduced the landmark constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, allow reasonable restrictions on political spending, outlaw dark money, and allow public financing of campaigns. But while our campaign finance system is stacked against voters in favor of the ultra-rich and the mega-corporations that can cut big checks, Iâm counting on this grassroots team to support my campaign and Democrats nationwide. Iâve seen the power of our work before. Weâve won tough races that pundits thought were unwinnable because of the strength of this grassroots team. Think of Senators Raphael Warnock in Georgia and Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada. Or Representatives Mike Levin and Josh Harder in California, who won tough re-elections and kept the GOPâs majority slim. In the November elections, it wonât be easy to defend the Senate majority, flip the House, and protect the White House, especially up against so many wealthy Republican candidates.
