This fight isn’t over. So I’m officially announcing:

Jeanne,

I just officially announced that I'm running for re-election in 2024. I never in a zillion years thought I'd be a U.S. Senator. But my life has had a lot of twists and turns, just like a lot of people's.

I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class. After my daddy's heart attack, my family came within an inch from losing our house, but my mother got a minimum wage job at Sears that saved our family.

I dropped out of college at 19 to get married, but got a second chance at a public college that cost $50 a semester and got to live my dream of becoming a public school teacher.

I've dedicated my career to studying why families go broke and fighting to rebuild the middle class. After Wall Street crashed our economy in 2008, I fought to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect people from getting scammed by big banks and corporations. The CFPB has already returned about $16 billion to American consumers who've been cheated.

After Senate Republicans vowed to block my nomination to serve as the CFPB's first director, I went back home to Massachusetts and ran against one of them — and I beat him. I ran to tax greedy corporations, to invest in jobs and our infrastructure, and to rein in student loan companies. And guess what? We got it all done.

But the fight to make our government work for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected — isn't over. So I'm running for re-election to keep up the fight. Will you split a donation between Jacky Rosen and my re-election today so I can keep fighting for working families alongside her?

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
