John,

So, how far up can you get in American politics without hardly ever having to run against an opponent?

It turns out you can be third from the presidency.

Our newest, extremist Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has run almost entirely uncontested throughout his political career.

Few real Democratic opponents.

Few real Republican challengers.

In fact, under Louisiana law, his name didn't even have to appear on the general election ballot in 2022 once he had won his primary race. Some of these Republican incumbents are so ingrained in the system, that there isn't even the option to write in a different candidate.

But Movement Labs, and our signature program Contest Every Race, are targeting people just like Mike Johnson at the local level – and getting qualified Democratic candidates on the ballot to contest them.

You can help a Democrat challenge a Republican incumbent for local office by chipping in a few bucks right now.

We identify, recruit, and guide prospective candidates through the entire process from realizing the impact they can have in their own neighborhoods and getting their name printed on the ballot to coaching them through victory on Election Day. And we've got thousands of success stories to show for it.

You can add to that list today by chipping in a few bucks to support our unique local candidate recruitment program.

When local races go uncontested, dangerous radicals win power and start paving their way to higher office. It's unelected, unaccountable extremism plain and simple. With your support, we're breaking the cycle.

Thank you,

Movement Labs
