| Pamela, Today, I'm excited and proud to announce that I am officially running against Rand Paul to represent Kentucky in the U.S. Senate. I've been waiting a while to make this announcement, and the first thing I need to do is ask you to join us. Because we can't do this without you. Can you add your name and give our campaign your personal endorsement? Every person who gets involved helps us build the movement it's going to take to run a strong campaign — and win. Pamela, I love Kentucky. And I need to tell you why I'm running to represent it. When the pandemic hit, we showed up for our neighbors with groceries. When our sister Breonna Taylor's door got kicked in, we marched. And when the floodwaters rose and a storm knocked the power out, we took care of our own. That's the soul of the Kentucky I know. We've got infinite strength, resolve, and potential. And yet, we often get counted out, stereotyped, and disrespected. For 10 years in the Senate, instead of serving as a voice for us, Rand Paul has been a loyal servant for the rich and powerful. He's voted to undermine our democracy, stoked the fires of racial resentment, and fought vigorously for tax breaks for the top 1%. Kentuckians face real challenges, and we deserve so much better than that. So I'm proud to be running to faithfully represent the hardworking, loving, and resilient people of this commonwealth. And I'm asking for your support. This is going to be an extremely competitive race and it's critical we show Rand today that we have a strong grassroots movement behind us. Pamela, will you give me your personal endorsement today and join our people-powered movement? Here's what you need to know about me, Pamela: I grew up in one of the poorest ZIP codes in Kentucky. Both of my parents had to drop out of high school to help take care of our family. I've had to ration my insulin. I've been homeless. My mom often went without eating so that I could. I've lived the struggle other politicians only talk about. But I know that my family wasn't alone in their struggles. From the hood to the holler, we all share the same hopes, dreams, struggles, and fears. The challenges we face are serious, but I know the solution: it's us. If we come together as one people, we can and will build a brighter future for everyone in our Commonwealth and country. One where we all have the same quality health care as our politicians. Where we have more money in our pockets, breathe clean air, and drink clean water. Where we can go to sleep safe and sound without worrying about our door being busted down. That world is possible, but it will mean defeating politicians like Rand Paul standing in the way. That's why I'm asking for your help: If you want to show your support as we start this work, will you give your personal endorsement for our campaign today? It's important we start RIGHT NOW building the people-power we need to win. Let's make change, Charles Booker
