John, we know you are feeling a range of emotions after the disappointing election results.
Sad. Angry. Despondent. Apathetic. Like nothing you did mattered.
But that could not be further from the truth.
With some results still to be determined, we can definitively say this:
Your support was a key reason Democrats were able to defy political gravity.
Your time, effort and donations are the reason we:
- Re-elected 27 of our Frontline Democrats -- like Gabe Vasquez in New Mexico and Marcy Kaptur in Ohio -- many of those in districts Donald Trump won.
- Held 4 competitive open seats in states while also electing 2 new members in Alabama and Louisiana.
- Flipped at least 6 Republican-held seats from RED to BLUE, from Josh Riley in New York to Janelle Bynum in Oregon.
Because of the fundraising advantage you powered us to over Republicans, our candidates were able to outrun the top of the ticket and bring us historically close to a House Majority, despite the national headwinds.
Now, we must look forward.
With Donald Trump and the GOP holding such a narrow majority, our House Democrats represent the best chance at blocking the worst of the Extreme MAGA Agenda. But, we just nearly emptied our bank accounts to win every possible seat -- and donations have fallen off a cliff in recent days.
We’re ready to fight back, finish what we started this year and lay the groundwork for MASSIVE wins in the midterms. That work begins RIGHT NOW, so we’re calling on 19,782 grassroots Democrats to give any amount before midnight. We know you just gave it all, but your gift will reaffirm that you are in this fight with us. Will you give $4 right now? >>
Thanks for all you continue to do.
