Friends,

This is a problem: Republicans are out-raising Democrats by as much as 6-1 in state legislative races in some of the most important battleground states in the country.

Republican state legislators have used gerrymandering and voter suppression to hold back Democrats at the top of the ticket in key battlegrounds for years and we need to vote them out in 2020 to put an end to it.

We analyzed Democratic and Republican fundraising to date in the most competitive legislative battlegrounds and what we found is alarming. Take a look at what Democrats are raising compared to Republicans in key state house races in Texas, Florida, and Arizona--all critical states for redistricting.

-- 47% in key races in the Texas State House
-- 15% in key races in the Florida State House
-- 38% in key state legislative races in Arizona

Donate now to help us close the resource gap and level the playing field for Democrats. Otherwise, Republicans remain well-positioned to keep majorities in these key chambers and could gerrymander dozens of congressional seats for the next decade.

Now is our chance to turn the tide. As I told NBC News ([link removed]), Forward Majority is investing "where we believe establishing legislative majorities will upend Republicans' ability to rig the national electoral playing field."

We must bring the same energy and investment that is showing up at the top of the ticket to the down ballot races that could impact the makeup of Congress for years to come. For a tiny fraction of the cost of a presidential campaign, we can eliminate the GOP's built-in advantage and restore integrity to our democracy.

Help us expand our programs going into this make or break election. Every dollar counts when it comes to closing the resource gap in these competitive state legislative races:

At this critical moment in history, it's never been more important for Democrats to fight back.

Hope we can count on your support,
