Here’s what that really means: - I have multiple opponents already running against me, and there’s still plenty of time for more opponents to jump in the race. - Every single vote I take in Washington is scrutinized, spun, and used to attack me by those who want to unseat me. - Dark money groups are digging through video clips of me as we speak, trying to find footage of me saying things they can use in attack ads and take out of context. - Special interest groups are already blasting me in attack ads, and spending money to lay the groundwork for my defeat. {NAME}, running in such a competitive race is exhausting, stressful, and challenging. But I’m up for the challenge because there’s few things I love more than giving Alaskans a seat at the table in Washington. I’m in this no matter the odds, but I can only win with your support, {NAME} – because we can only defeat these special interest millions together. [Can you split a donation of $25 between Blue Amp Action and I before midnight to help me win this competitive seat again and fend off these constant attacks? >>]( [DONATE $25]( Your support means so much to me, Mary Peltola Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good About BlueAmp Action: We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
