Hi John, this is Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
I’m reaching out today with an important request: we are heading into an unprecedented election year, and Democratic Secretaries of State need help standing up to extremism. Can you chip in $3 to support democracy defenders who will protect our free and fair elections?
This election cycle will be unlike anything we’ve seen before. Dangerous extremism and violent rhetoric are already on the rise and will only get more intense between now and November.
Now that Donald Trump is on his way to becoming the GOP nominee for president, here’s how we can expect the rest of the election to go:
- More conspiracy theories and lies about our election system on repeat, despite zero evidence of voter fraud or irregularities.
- More attacks on election officials and volunteers. Already, reports are showing a surge in threats toward election officials like our dedicated Secretaries of State — just for doing their job. Colorado Sec. Jen Griswold received dozens of death threats in a three week period!
- And more holding our breath questioning if our system can withstand another barrage of attacks, likely even worse than what we saw in 2020.
This election, our BEST line of defense against this dangerous far-right extremism is our Democratic Secretaries of State who will always stand up for the will of the voters — no matter how the election shakes out.
Can you please chip in $3 to elect Democratic Secretaries of State who will fend off attacks from extremist Republicans and make sure your vote is protected on Election Day?
