Rj, happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

I’m Angie Craig. I’m a Minnesotan, a wife, a mom and Mimi (grandmother), a WNBA fan and a beer-lover.

I’d also be the first lesbian mom elected to the U.S. Senate.

It wasn’t that long ago that being an out lesbian would make it almost impossible to run for office. Growing up as a teenager in the 1980s, I never could have imagined that I’d be elected to Congress (let alone be a candidate for Senate!).

Donald Trump wants to take us back to those times. Like hell he will, if I have anything to say about it.

So Rj, I’m coming to you with an important request: Will you celebrate Pride Month by splitting $10 between Mikie Sherrill and my historic campaign for U.S. Senate and defeat the GOP opposition that aims to strip away our rights?

Pride has always been a special time for me and my family, Rj.

My wife Cheryl and I love marching in our local Pride parade each year — but Pride is more than just a celebration. It’s a time to reflect on the strides we’ve made to be able to live freely and authentically — and to demand more from our leaders.

The first Pride — following the Stonewall riots of 1969 — was a protest in response to the government’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies. We should never lose sight of that.

The Trump administration is going after the LGBTQ+ community nonstop. Lord knows we need to stand up for our rights now more than ever.

I’m running for U.S. Senate to be a fierce defender of LGBTQ+ folks and to fight against the GOP’s harmful policies — from targeting marriage equality to passing bathroom bills and book bans.

If you’re with me, will you split $10 between Mikie Sherrill and my campaign to help me make history as the first lesbian mom elected to the U.S. Senate?

Thanks for standing with me,

Angie
