Dear Antonio Rancati,
did you know that over half of all Members of Congress are millionaires? Meanwhile, the median household income is only $70,784. This is wild.
Many of our lawmakers have no lived experience of working paycheck to paycheck or trying to pay rent working a low-wage job.
To me, policy is personal. When I worked as a bartender, I relied on tips to pay the bills. I know the urgent and daily stresses of working class people because I have lived them. And I intimately understand how important measures like raising the minimum wage, universal health care, universal child care, and free college can be for families living in financial uncertainty.
That’s why I’m in Congress: to represent working families like mine.
I am honored to be here, and I can’t do this work without you — the grassroots supporters who have had my back every step of the way. I can’t self-fund my campaign by writing a big check, and I don’t do any donor call-time or exclusive fundraising events.
We rely completely on small-dollar donors, so if you are able, can you chip in $5 today to our campaign for progress?
Yours in service,
Alexandria
