Former U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota) : We can flip this seat in North Dakota

 

I'm proud to support Katrina in her race for Senate. Will you join me in supporting her by chipping in $5 now? Chip in $5 now >> It’s Byron Dorgan, former U.S. Senator from North Dakota.  Electing a Senator who will put hardworking folks above their own political ambition will be as difficult as it is important. That’s why I’m proudly supporting Katrina Christiansen in her run for U.S. Senate. Not only do I believe she can win, I believe she should.  Katrina Christiansen is the voice we need in the U.S. Senate on so many important issues. And recent polling shows, this race has the potential to be one of the biggest upsets on election night. Katrina has narrowed the gap on Republican incumbent Kevin Cramer’s lead. If she can reach droves of undecided voters in this final stretch, she can really win this race. Now, Katrina needs our help to spread her ads to every corner of our state and make sure voters hear her winning message: Americans deserve an honest leader – not a career politician who is backed by corporate donors and votes against our interests. I’m reaching out to her strongest supporters to ask: Will you join me in supporting Katrina and rush $5 now? >> Let me tell you about Katrina. Katrina grew up in a working-class family in a small, rural town where she learned the value of hard work. She understands the struggles millions of hardworking families are facing every day. And she’s ready to roll up her sleeves and fight for a better future for everyday folks. Katrina’s the leader we need in the Senate on every issue from health care to agriculture. Can I count on you to support her? We are now only a week from the election and I hope you can be helpful to Katrina once again. Chip in $5 now >>   Chip in $10 now >>   Chip in $15 now >>   Chip in $20 now >>   Chip in another amount now >> Thank you, Byron Dorgan Former U.S. Senator for North Dakota

Katrina Christiansen is tired of career politicians who put special interest cash above the needs of hardworking families. That’s why she’s running for U.S. Senate to ensure no family has to choose between paying for essential medication and putting food on the table. Katrina doesn’t take a penny of Corporate PAC money, so she’s relying on support from grassroots donors to fund her campaign and compete with Republicans’ deep pockets.

NORTH DAKOTA: devastating loss SUPPORT: KATRINA CHRISTIANSEN Here's why:

 

FACT #1: Kevin Cramer has turned his back on hardworking folks at every turn. Kevin Cramer voted to CUT affordable health care.  He voted AGAINST lowering prescription drug prices for our seniors.  He votes time and time again against the interests of middle and working-class families. It’s clear Kevin Cramer works for special interests, not the hardworking people he was elected to serve. I vow to always fight for middle and working-class folks in the Senate — but I need your help to get there. I need to raise $20,000 before my critical deadline to compete with Cramer’s deep pockets and fully fund my campaign in these final days. Can I count on you to rush in $5 before the very last End of Month Deadline of this election in 48 hours? >> FACT #2: I have one of the best shots in the country to flip a Senate seat from red to blue. Not only did I OUTRAISE Kevin Cramer last quarter…  …My polling shows once voters learn the truth about Kevin Cramer’s despicable voting record, I take the lead in this race by FOUR points. That means if we can get our winning message to enough undecided voters in this final stretch, this race is ours for the taking. But Cramer unleashed a massive ad campaign to crush our unprecedented shot to win this race. We can’t let his ads go unanswered. Can you rush in $5 before my End of Month Deadline to help me fully fund my campaign in these final days and reach a record number of voters before it's too late? >> FACT #3: All eyes are on us to see if we can pull off a historic victory. InForum: “Katrina Christiansen raised more than incumbent Kevin Cramer” DailyKos: “[Katrina] and the Democrats—have momentum on their side in 2024”  InForum: “North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer can’t relax” Here’s the thing: With so much on the line, we can’t take a single vote for granted. I know that if we act now, we can pull off a historic victory for Democrats. But with the race this close, every dollar in this last stretch could be the difference between a historic win and a devastating loss. So: Can I count on you to rush in $5 to help me replace Kevin Cramer and flip this seat once and for all? >> Chip in $5 now >>   Chip in $10 now >>   Chip in $15 now >>   Chip in $20 now >>   Chip in another amount now >> Thank you, Katrina

Kevin Cramer Just Voted Against Protecting Contraception We have to defeat him at the polls and flip North Dakota blue KATRINA CHRISTIANSEN JUN 6 We have some terrible news coming out of Washington, D.C. Kevin Cramer and his MAGA buddies just defeated an effort to make contraception accessible for women across our country. For months, Cramer and his allies have claimed that they support protecting a woman’s right to contraception. But, when they had the opportunity to protect that right, they defeated a procedural measure that would have moved the Right to Contraception Act forward. It’s not right. As a mother and candidate for Senate, if I were in the Senate, I would have voted for this bill. It's why we need to flip North Dakota and keep the Senate blue. Our race to flip this North Dakota Senate seat has never been more vital. I will vote to end the filibuster and codify Roe. We can win this race, and I have the polling to prove it.  Our campaign recently commissioned our first internal poll and results were eye-opening. Some top lines are: The initial head-to-head has me at 29% and Cramer at 54%. This is to be expected as less than one-third of voters have even heard of me. But we closed the gap 10 points since the Emerson poll in October without a penny spent in paid media, showing significant potential. Only 33% of voters want to reelect Senator Cramer, 54% want to replace or will consider someone else. Only 42% view Cramer favorably, and 45% viewing him unfavorably. 24% of Republicans don’t approve of the job he is doing. When hearing positive messages for both candidates, I take the lead, 45% to 43%. When negative messages are incorporated, the final ballot has the race tied at 40% each. Senator Kevin Cramer is a lifetime, lackluster politician, who has previously lost three statewide races in North Dakota, with mediocre polling numbers. His favorability is below water, his job approval flat, and his reelect is a dismal 33%. He is “more of the same” from Washington. He is part of the problem and not part of the solution. I’m the polar opposite of Kevin Cramer and represents that change that voters want: I’m not a politician; I understand first-hand the challenges people face, I am a problem solver, and I’m an outsider unafraid to tackle the status quo in Washington. In December, we released our launch ad video with outstanding results, as the video has over 6 million views. You can watch the ad here. We can win this race but I need your help. You can donate here. Always in service, Katrina

 

Happy Easter From The Campaign Trail!

KATRINA CHRISTIANSEN MAR 31

Hello and happy Easter!

Unfortunately, Easter falls on a crucial end of quarter deadline for our campaign. Outside of election day, the three end of quarter deadlines are the three most important days in our campaign.

So much of politics is now viewed as how much money can you raise. We are being written off nationally because we are a Democrat running in a red state.

Chip In To Help!

These "experts" don't know that this seat was held by a Democrat for 60 years!

These "experts" don't know that my opponent is not popular in the state, has lost three times before, and isn't sitting on much money.

These "experts" don't know the struggle of poverty I grew up in, or the grit and determination I had to escape it. I promise to bring that same grit to fight on behalf of working people in the Senate.

Kevin Cramer is one of the most vulnerable Republican Senators. 

Help Me Defeat Kevin Cramer

Our poll proves that voters are responding to our message in a major way. If we can get our message out to enough voters, this race is ours for the taking.

When voters learn about how Cramer has voted against the interest of North Dakotans time and time again, I surge in the polls and lead this race by TWO POINTS.

We can swing this race – but ONLY if I have the funds necessary to reach every undecided voter in the state.

I’m not under any illusion that unseating Kevin Cramer will be easy.

I know that corporate special interests will pour millions into this race to defend Cramer. But I’m not one to back down from a challenge.

The very first End of Quarter Deadline of the election year is in just 24 hours and if we fall short, we won’t be able to fund our critical voter outreach efforts and our chances of flipping this seat will plummet. 

I'm tired of career politicians who put special interest cash above the needs of hardworking families. That’s why I'm running for U.S. Senate to ensure no family has to choose between paying for essential medication and putting food on the table.

I am not taking a penny of Corporate PAC money, so I'm relying on support from grassroots donors like you to fund my campaign and compete with Republicans’ deep pockets. Will you chip in any amount before midnight to help me defeat Republican special interests and flip this seat for everyday North Dakotans?

Chip In To Help Reach Our Goal!

Thank you so much for your support, and happy Easter.

Katrina

            Let's fight for ALL AMERICANS across our great nation!

My father is on Social Security. I will fight like hell to protect it. I'm running for Senate to make sure we defeat extremist Republicans in Washington, D.C. KATRINA CHRISTIANSEN MAR 25 My father is Dale Christiansen. From an early age, my dad worked hard to make sure my family could live. Growing up, my dad worked as a machinist intermittently. His work wasn’t easy–no manual labor is. One of my earliest memories of his work was when I was in the second grade. My dad showed up to my school concert after work in torn-up clothing and machine greased stained hands. I remember feeling embarrassed. Years later, Dale began working for Great Dane as a laborer, and did so, all the way until 2016 when he retired at 65. Throughout his 25 years at Great Dane, my father experienced furloughs and stagnant wages. Despite all that, every morning he would get up at 4:30, kiss my mother goodbye, and drive 24 miles to get to work by 5:30 and work a 10-hour shift.  My dad’s job was our livelihood–without it, our family would not have survived. Looking back, I was wrong to feel embarrassed. I soon learned the importance of working to make a living and to support a family of my own.  After putting in decades of labor, my dad finally retired in 2016, hoping to earn the Social Security income from a program he paid into for years. He, like many Americans, retired at the age of 65 because no one wants to work until they die. It’s not right. It’s unAmerican.  But, despite my dad’s hard work, Kevin Cramer and other extremist Senators want to take away his right to Social Security. They want to cut retirement programs, make it harder to earn the benefits we’ve worked so hard for, and even introduced a new plan that would lead to Americans working until the day they die.  Seeing this, I knew I could not sit back any longer. It’s why I am running to replace Kevin Cramer in the Senate and fight for working and middle-class families. We need to protect Social Security. We need to protect Medicare. We need to make sure Americans like my dad can retire without having to work until the day they die.  Like many families in America, I don’t come from money. I grew up in a family that struggled to get by in rural America. We counted on food stamps to put dinner on the table. We counted on government-funded programs, like Headstart for Preschool. So believe me when I say I know what it’s like to struggle. I know what it’s like to wonder where your next meal is coming from. I know what it’s like to live on a fixed income.  I will never forget where I came from or who I am fighting for in the Senate. But first, I have to compete with Cramer’s millionaire and billionaire mega-donors.  Democrats have a razor-thin Majority in the Senate. With Senator Manchin’s retirement announcement has left our Majority hanging by a thread. Our race to flip this North Dakota Senate seat has never been more vital. I will vote to end the filibuster and codify Roe. We can win this race, and I have the polling to prove it.  Our campaign recently commissioned our first internal poll and results were eye-opening. Some toplines are: The initial head-to-head has me at 29% and Cramer at 54%. This is to be expected as less than one-third of voters have even heard of me. But we closed the gap 10 points since the Emerson poll in October without a penny spent in paid media, showing significant potential.
