Hi John xxxxxx,
I hope all is well and that everyone is managing these final hours with determination and optimism. We will need both.
I wanted to share with you the email we sent to our board members last night as I thought you might be interested to hear our final numbers.
We are closing out 2024, having officially endorsed 80 candidates across 23 states and 1 U.S. territory.
17% are running for federal office
20% are running for city/local positions
48% are running for State Legislature
10% are running for State Senate
5% are running for judicial positions
As you may already know, we focused much of our 2024 work on states with abortion bans (or impending abortion bans); paying special attention to the seats of incumbent legislators who helped get those bans passed. The guiding logic behind this prioritization was that the states with the lowest representation numbers for women in government (4%, 11%, 12%) and the states passing abortion bans and other dangerous laws about women... are the same states.
We are extremely confident that we'll have one of our highest win rates yet after today (!!!!) thanks to the following support we were able to offer candidates:
-
Fundraising support
-
Thousands of volunteers across the country / Around-the-clock voter outreach
-
Candidate connection meetings / exclusive candidate opportunities
-
National and local publicity work on behalf of our candidates
-
Pro bono comms training
-
And much more!
As I've said before and will say again, none of this would be possible without our supporters on EVERY LEVEL. The grassroots donations we receive from emails like this one have fueled our work and enabled us to grow our candidate support programs exponentially year after year. Thank you for all you do and for your continued prioritization of this mission.
Before the polls close tonight, please consider one last donation to support our work for women candidates across the country this cycle.
