Friend,

Thank you. Thank you for your role in Tuesday's historic victory in Ohio. Every door knock, every phone call, every text message, every postcard, every conversation, every honk and wave, every dollar ... everything you did was part of Tuesday's win.

You are part of a broad coalition – from across the state, across the country, and across all divides – that has come together to stand as one in this crucial moment for Ohio's democracy.

This is a grand, victorious, well-deserved moment. It's one to savor.

And it's one to turn into a tipping point. 

We played great defense on Tuesday in beating back Issue 1. But now it's time to go on offense. That means running and fighting fiercely in every single Ohio statehouse district – including against every single Republican who voted for Issue 1.

If you were able to join us at our Blue Ohio Watch Party on Tuesday, you saw it was an electric event. We were joined by Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Jaime Harrison, Ted Strickland and so many others – each of whom reiterated the need for Democrats to fight for democracy everywhere.

Blue Ohio does that by making sure that no Democratic nominee for Ohio statehouse fights alone. Our community members kick in a few dollars a month, 100% of which goes to the Democratic nominees that need our help the most. We support the folks running against the most extreme of the extremists – the ones who too often get a free pass, and who are never held accountable.

And on Tuesday we also shared some great news...
 
We have A MATCH!

That's right! A group of incredibly generous donors has offered to match, dollar-for-dollar, all new donors, returning donors, and anyone who increases their monthly donation!* On Tuesday alone, we welcomed 81 new members.

Join them and double your impact by joining Blue Ohio today.

If you're a new or returning donor at $20/month, it's like you're contributing $40 every month to support Ohio's Democratic nominees.

And if you're at $10/month and you increase to $20 – it's like you're contributing $30 every month!

Issue 1 proved that the GOP will stop at nothing to get their way – and that Ohioans have had enough of their extremism.

Join us today and help hold them accountable.

Blue Ohio isn't just a monthly donation – it's a community of folks just like you who are sick and tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching the Ohio GOP take our state backwards. We meet virtually every month and hear from great guest speakers who give us the skinny on what's going on in Ohio.

Plus, 100% of your monthly donation goes to Ohio's Democratic nominees for statehouse using our unique  "bottom-up bathtub" method. As far as we can tell, Blue Ohio is the only organization that distributes funds first to those nominees who have the least – encouraging people to run even against the most extreme and gerrymandered Ohio Republicans, and making sure that every Democrat has resources to fight fiercely.

Last cycle, our community ensured that no Democratic nominee had less than $5,800 to run their campaign. For comparison, in 2020, 13 Democratic nominees had less than $5,000.

You know how important it is for us to show up in every corner of the state. Don't you think it would be easier to decide to run for office in the reddest, roughest, toughest districts of the state if you knew a community like ours is there to help? You bet it would be! 

You can encourage folks to run by showing them that, as part of Blue Ohio, you've got their back.

So joining Blue Ohio gives you a community of folks just like you who care deeply about the future of Ohio, a way to encourage folks to run in every district across the state, and a way to help them hold the GOP accountable. We call that a win-win-win.
Be our match! Join today:
...And did we mention that 100% of your monthly donation goes to the nominees? It's true. Blue Ohio sustains itself and grows based on tips alone. (Hint: please leave one if you can!)

Onward, upward, and in solidarity~
