This is personal to me. [To unsubscribe click here](
Team, You might have seen the remarks from Wisconsin Republican Congressman Glenn Grothman in which he said he wants to âwork our way backâ to the 1960s, attacked funding for childcare programs, and claimed that poverty reduction policies âtook the purpose out of the manâs life.â Before I ask you to [donate to my campaign for Congress,]( Iâd like to explain why his attack on policies that help families is so personal to me. I grew up in a working class family here in Wisconsin. When I was young, my mom was stuck in a marriage with an abusive alcoholic. She had two small daughters and no way to get out of the relationship â she couldnât even have a bank account in the early 1970s. After my dad passed, we struggled financially, a situation I know too many families can still relate to today. That is what Glenn Grothman wants to take us back to â a country where women arenât able to escape abusive relationships because we donât have access to or control over our own money. And he isnât alone: A growing number of Republicans including Trumpâs new VP pick, J.D. Vance, are pushing to end no-fault divorce, which would make it more difficult for women to leave these relationships. My mom never got to meet my four sons, who have so much purpose. I am so proud of the men they have grown into, and of their drive to make the world a better place. For Glenn Grothman to suggest that they are somehow worse off because of policies that make womenâs lives better is abominable. The reality is that weâve come a long way since the days when my mom wasnât able to get out of a marriage she needed to leave â but we still have a long way to go. In Congress, Iâll prioritize policies that support families and help people thrive, not ones that deliberately take us backwards. [So Iâm asking: Will you help me get to Congress and fight for progress? Every dollar will make a difference.]( Thank you, Kristin Lyerly [Contribute]( PAID FOR BY KRISTIN LYERLY FOR CONGRESS If you'd like to unsubscribe you can [click here.]( Checks can be sent to Friends of Kristin for Wisconsin at 1794 Allouez Ave Ste C #133 Green Bay, WI 54311
