It Starts With One Person
The election is just days away, and I continue to be
overwhelmed by your support and encouragement. At #LangevinListens coffee hours around the Second
District, and in all of my travels, I've heard from constituents about the
important issues that face our nation. We talk about equal pay for women,
making college more affordable, immigration reform, and workforce
development. We share ideas about tax reform and income inequality. We don't
always agree, but it has been an insightful, engaging, and respectful
exchange of ideas.
These conversations inspire me. You inspire me.
And it is feeling as inspired, passionate, and enthusiastic as
I have ever been that I ask for your support on November 8. I want to return
to Washington to work on the issues we've talked about, and I am humbled by
the support of those who believe I am the right person for the job. I've been
honored with many endorsements this year, from the AFL-CIO, the Rhode Island
Building and Construction Trades Council, the Human Rights Campaign, Clean
Water Action, and many more. Just recently, the Providence Journal also endorsed my
candidacy.
This last point is of particular importance to me, as we face
a time of extreme turmoil and partisanship in our country. Making a
difference starts with a single person. It starts with one person who is
willing to talk, to debate, and to keep an open mind; a person who wants to
keep listening and learning and building relationships so that we can find
common ground.
I have always tried to be that person. I hope you will
consider supporting me on Tuesday so I can continue to be that
person, fighting to make a different for you, and for all Rhode Islanders.
Thank you,
