This is about so much more than making history

In our country’s nearly 250 years of history, there has never been a Black doctor elected to be a voting member of Congress. I’m running to change that. And we’re running to do so much more than just make history, which I would love to expand upon below. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ You're getting this message because you’ve supported good causes and Democratic candidates.

[But my primary election is just 23 days away and my campaign manager tells me we still need to raise another $20,000 before midnight to fund one of our final voter contact campaigns. If you’re able to, I’m humbly asking if you can split a donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action ahead of this critical deadline.]( If I’m elected, yes, we would make history and shatter a major glass ceiling. The historic nature of our campaign is not lost on me. But I’m not running to make history. I’m running to break down barriers for the American people: Barriers like accessing quality healthcare and a secure retirement, making reproductive care accessible to women in EVERY state, fighting to ensure everyone in our country has a fair shot at the American Dream and a social safety net that catches those who fall on hard times. We need more doctors in Congress to fight back against GOP attempts to deny women their right to reproductive care, to block their attacks on Medicare and Medicaid, to spearhead efforts to drive down prescription drug costs, and use our expertise to reform our healthcare system so everyone can access the care their families need and deserve. But I need your help to get there {NAME}: New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District is currently open and this is a seat that Republicans used to consider a safe red seat, one they used to carry by double digits. [And we’ve got a budget gap to fund our next round of voter contact efforts: So can I count on you to split a donation before midnight so we have the resources to WIN this former GOP open seat?]( [CHIP IN NOW!]( With gratitude, Herb Conaway Physician New Jersey Assemblyman – 7th Legislative District Former Air Force Captain 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!
