I couldn't have won without this community. U.S. SENATOR MAGGIE HASSAN.

David,

My 2016 Senate election came down to 1,017 votes.

It remains a powerful reminder that everything you do in a campaign matters: every door knocked, every phone call made, every speech given...

I would not have won in 2016 and turned a critical Senate seat blue without this community.

And now, even more women need that same level of tireless support — including Jacky Rosen and Kyrsten Sinema, who are our best chances to turn the Senate blue. Their races are shaping up to be as close as mine was.

EMILY's List has been there for me at every step of my political career.

When I ran for the New Hampshire state Senate, EMILY's List was there.

When I ran for governor, EMILY's List was there.

And when I ran for the U.S. Senate, EMILY's List was there.

In every fight, EMILY's List has been the difference for me just as it has been for so many other candidates.

And I am so inspired to see you step up and help more women win in 2018.

Thank you.

With every good wish,

Maggie Hassan
U.S. Senator, New Hampshire

Two days left in May. Jennifer Boysko, Run Everywhere.

David,

Recent developments in the Virginia legislature have underscored the importance of electing as many progressive candidates as possible to statewide office.

In November we came within one vote of leveling the playing field in the House of Delegates.

Just three months later, the HOD wrapped up a bipartisan budget compromise that included the previously unthinkable -- Medicaid expansion and long-overdue wage increases for teachers.

Now that we’ve seen what bipartisan compromise looks like in the VA HOD, contrast that with the Senate, where the Republican majority has yet to so much as vote on a budget.

You don't suppose the delay has anything to do with the fact that Virginia's state senators don’t face re-election worries until 2019...

Instead, following the example of majority leader and Finance Committee Co-Chair Thomas Norment, they’re playing the obstruction game. Delay and deny has become the Virginia Republican mantra.

The Senate’s next opportunity to pass the HOD’s bipartisan budget is today.

Thanks for your continued support,

Jennifer Boysko
Finance Chair, Virginia Democratic House Caucus
Chair of Run Everywhere

EMILY's LIST. BIGGEST PRIMARY ELECTION DAY OF THE YEAR...

David,

Super Tuesday 2018 is ONE WEEK away.

It's our single biggest primary Election Day of the year. We have 46 women with primaries from coast to coast. Plus there's a special election to turn a Missouri state Senate district blue.

We've had some tremendous wins in May, when there were elections three weeks in a row.

Two of our House candidates in Texas runoffs won. Now they have to defeat incumbent Republicans in November. And our two House candidates in Georgia advanced to runoffs.

We helped Stacey Abrams — who could be the first black woman governor — win her primary election, too, and helped all five of our state and local candidates in Georgia advance.

We can keep going.

To support our 47 candidates on the ballot on Super Tuesday, it'll take everyone stepping up...


Thanks — and go team!

Emily Cain
Executive Director, EMILY's List

Honoring Our Veterans. U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DAVID CICILLINE.

On Saturday, I had the privilege of hosting more than 200 Rhode Island veterans at a Barbecue and Community Conversation in honor of their extraordinary service on behalf of our nation. 

During our discussion, I heard about many of the challenges facing our veteran community – from difficulty finding good-paying work to trouble accessing health care and other benefits. It’s clear that we are still not doing enough to support the heroic individuals who serve our nation in uniform.

This Memorial Day, we must all join together to recommit ourselves to fight for those who have risked everything for us. Our veterans exemplify the finest values our state and our nation have to offer, and we owe them so much.

Veterans and their family members should all consider my office a resource. Whether you’re having troubling accessing housing, health care, VA benefits, or any other services, please give my office a call at 729-5600.

On behalf of the people of the First Congressional District of Rhode Island, I wish all of our veterans a peaceful Memorial Day among family and friends. May God bless you and our brave men and women now serving. And may God continue to bless the United States of America.

Warm Regards,
 
David Cicilline
Member of Congress
