Senator Elizabeth Warren’s Email Campaign
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) referred to Republican opponent John Deaton’s campaign as a “threat” as she called on supporters to help fund her campaign against him, newly surfaced emails from the politician over the past week reveal.
Warren Launches Email Campaign in Fight for Senate Seat
Deaton, a noteworthy attorney from Rhode Island, moved specifically to Massachusetts to challenge Warren for her seat in the Senate.
“We should expect more from our representatives in Washington than simply checking a box by changing their address,” one email with the logo “Warren for Senate” reads in part. “We can’t expect someone from out of state to swoop in from out of state and get the job done – but we also can’t underestimate this threat.”
Warren’s Response to Deaton’s Challenge
The latest communications from Warren’s camp came shortly after the Senator claimed she “wasn’t afraid” of Deaton’s challenge but will “need to prepare” to adequately fight his campaign.
In the same email, Warren alleged that “the crypto lobby has put a target on my back” following her stance for increased regulation in the sector, with the Senator even penning a scathing letter to a number of key players in the crypto industry.
Where Deaton Stands On Crypto
Deaton, on the other hand, previously gained notoriety for his role as a lawyer in the SEC v. Ripple case. Unlike Warren, Deaton has a long track record of advocacy across the crypto sector, having recently praised Grayscale for its landmark court victory against the SEC.
