After Carly Fiorina’s win in the Republican primary yesterday, now we know who we are up against.

This race may be the clearest choice in the nation. It’s a choice about which candidate is fighting for jobs and who’s in touch with Californians.

Now we need your support to let the voters know what’s at stake in this election — and we’ve got to start right now.

Please contribute now — and help us show the voters the clear choice in the race for U.S. Senate!

I am proud of my record of fighting to create jobs for California. I have met construction workers, law enforcement officers, teachers, scientists, and many other hard-working Californians who are working because of the Recovery Act — a bill that has saved or created 150,000 California jobs.

Yet Carly Fiorina not only opposed that critical bill, she also opposed the HIRE Act, which gives tax breaks to businesses that hire long-term unemployed workers and extends the highway trust fund.

In fact, Carly Fiorina opposed every major jobs bill that I supported — even though that legislation will continue to help create jobs and put our economy back on track.

Plus, remember that before Fiorina was fired as CEO of HP and walked away with a $21 million “golden parachute,” she laid off more than 30,000 workers.

You and I know that, but we need to make sure every California voter knows about this choice, too. And we can’t do it without your help.

Our opponent is a well-funded candidate with deep pockets who has been attacking me since the day she entered the Senate race — and her attacks are only intensifying.

It’s no surprise that Fiorina is attacking me, because she’s so out of touch with California voters. Fiorina wants to criminalize abortion. She supports allowing people on the no-fly terrorist watch list to buy guns. She wants to repeal the landmark health care reform bill and opposes efforts to enact real Wall Street reform. So Fiorina’s attacks are a way to distract attention away from her own extreme views on the issues.

But I’ve got good news. With your help, we will win this race — and here’s why.

Carly Fiorina and I have different priorities — and the people of California have a clear choice.

Let’s make sure the voters see that choice, crystal clear.

Please contribute to my campaign today — so we can make sure the voters know the facts.

Thank you so much. I look forward to your active support in this critical campaign over the weeks and months ahead.

In friendship,

Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator

P.S. Carly Fiorina spent more than $5 million of her own money in the primary, and she’s prepared to spend millions more to try to drown us out. We can’t let her. Please help us get our message out: Please contribute now.
