Heidi Heitkamp is running in an extremely competitive Senate race in North Dakota for midterms. In 2016, President Trump won the state by 36 points. Representative Cramer, her opponent, is running on the Republican ticket. In 2013, when the VAWA was at risk of not being renewed due to Republicans' refusal to acknowledge the rights of minority groups, Cramer supported their refusal. In fact, he called the all inclusive Democratic proposal "a good political slogan, but not good law." Heitkmap, on the other hand, has been outspoken in her support of all Americans. Heitkamp had the courage so few in the Senate had. She voted no on Kavanaugh, and stood with survivors. Cramer, on the other hand, stood in full, unwavering support of Kavanaugh, even insinuating that because Blasey Ford was 15 years old and drinking at a party, her memory coudl not be trusted. It is critical that come November, we have representatives who represent US and unapologetically stand with survivors.  Will you chip in $5 to Senator Heidi Heitkamps campaign today? 

In just 17 days after voting no on the Kavanaugh confirmation, Heitkamp raised $12 million for her campaign. She has received an average of more than 3,000 donations per day -- compared to an average of 200 donations before voting no on the confirmation. The people have spoken, and they want politicians in office who stand with survivors. Don't lose the momentum. Continue to mobilize so that we can ensure our representatives protect us, support us, and stand by us.

Heitkamp played a critical role in passing the original VAWA -- it was the first bill she cosponsored and helped pass as a Senator. She has been outspoken in her support for a comprehensive VAWA renewal come 2018. She stands with the Native American community -- one of the communities who would be left most vulnerable if the VAWA is not renewed. As a Senator, she led the fight to strengthen rights for tribal communities; extending support to programs helping victims of domestic violence in tribal communities and providing tribal governments with the authority they need to prosecute non-Indian abusers who commit crimes on tribal land. Throughout her career, she has worked to strengthen protections for Native American women and children. She has worked closely with tribal and federal law enforcement to ensure the community is fully protected. There is no doubt if she is reelected, she will keep up the fight.

In September, Heitkamp also announced legislation that grants federal funding to the North Dakota Department of Health to support victims of domestic violence and help resolve loopholes in the criminal justice system to ensure the services in place for victims work to full capacity. The bipartisan act, passed by Heitkamp and Senator Sullivan (R-AK) fully named the Pro Bono Work to Empower and Represent Act also provides pro bono legal assistance to victims. The bipartisan bill is exactly what we need to see from our political figures right now; both sides working together to protect survivors. When one of us falls, we must pick the other up. When one of us succeeds, we all succeed. Chip in $5 to Senator Heidi Heitkamps campaign today to do your part to make sure we have a Congress that looks out for survivors.
