I want you to see this:

Vox: "Harris is swimming in cash — but Democrats may still have a fundraising problem"

"Democratic donors are underinvesting in state legislative races, where money goes a lot further"

For the first half of this year, Democrats were outraised nearly 2:1 in state legislative races. We’re running out of time to turn the tide — and you're on this team because you understand how high the stakes are.

Another point from that Vox story:

"Small elections can have big consequences"

So much of the policy that affects our daily lives is decided at the state level — not in Congress or the White House. 

Voting rights. Reproductive freedom. Protections for the LGBTQ+ community. The list goes on…

The NDRC's work in state-level races has a direct impact on the future of our democracy — and our success or failure depends on the support of this grassroots team. Can we count on you to pitch in now to help elect Democracy Defenders who will protect our fundamental rights?

Here’s another thing: Control of state legislatures can often be decided by a few hundred votes. 

Just look at states like Minnesota, Michigan, and Pennsylvania that have razor-thin margins in their state legislatures. The State House and Senate races that ultimately decide control are *always* close — they could even be decided by drawing names out of a bowl, like in Virginia just a few years ago.

That means everything we do in state legislative races can affect the outcome — and many of those elections this year will decide whether or not maps are fair.

Can you rush a donation to the NDRC to help make a difference in these races right now?

Thanks,
Biz
