No, this isn’t a crazy, hair-on-fire kind of email. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

Ken Harbaugh for Congress
When I originally sat down to reach out to you, I knew I had to mention the big things.
But since that’s out of the way, I can share with you this photo and what I really want to talk about. These are some of the many incredible people who make up our grassroots team:
Team Harbaugh Canvassers
We’ve got volunteers from all walks of life. Some are students, some are seniors. Some are first-time voters, some haven’t missed voting in an election in more than a decade. Some are Democrats, some are Republicans (supporting a guy like me for the first time), and some of them don’t care for labels -- but they know what’s at stake in these elections and want to get involved.
So they got off the sidelines, laced up their sneakers, and met up with some of our campaign staff to get involved.
These are just a few of the faces of Team Harbaugh. I am inspired and honored that they give their time, energy, and passion to the movement we’re building.
You’re a part of our campaign family, too. 
In service,
Ken.

How we'll continue to speak out: U.S. SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY.

Green Mountain PAC
Friend,
With just three weeks until Election Day, our path to victory -- and a blue Senate -- is clear: Support the incredible Democratic women running for office this November.
Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court was only the latest example of a GOP-controlled Senate that does not listen to or stand up for the rights of women and survivors, but instead works to degrade our democracy and strip protections away from our nation's most marginalized communities.
By funneling much-needed support to Claire McCaskill in Missouri, Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, Jacky Rosen in Nevada, and Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona in the final stretch of their campaigns, we can take back the Senate and put a wrench in Trump and McConnell's hateful, far-right agenda -- while creating a more diverse Senate.
Senator Claire McCaskill and Senator Heidi Heitkamp are defending two of our most at-risk seats this cycle -- and far-right conservative donors are certainly going to continue funneling millions attacking them in this final stretch to try and block our caucus from retaking the Senate.
And in Nevada and Arizona, Jacky Rosen and Kyrsten Sinema are both locked in tight races to turn currently red seats blue. If we can give their campaigns the boost they'll need to win, we can take back the Senate.
We must not let ourselves be silenced by the attacks on our communities and our values -- we must continue to speak out. Our best course forward is to do everything in our power to change control of the Senate and elect more Democratic women.

Thank you for continuing the fight.
Sincerely,
Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
