At a moment when we need hope more than ever, I wanted to share a victory that YOU helped make possible, John.
Remember Dante Pittman? Thanks to the incredible support of this community, Dante just won his race for North Carolina State House District 24. This wasn't just any victory – this was a crucial flip that will help block a Republican supermajority in the state legislature.
This victory ripples far beyond one district. With Dante's win, North Carolina's new Democratic Governor – Josh Stein will have the power to veto extreme legislation. Your support helped create this vital check on power at a time when we need it most.
This is exactly why Leaders We Deserve endorsed Dante. We saw a community leader whose family has called North Carolina home for generations, someone deeply committed to fighting for affordable housing, public education, and economic opportunity. And you showed up for him – through your donations, your engagement, and your belief that change is possible even in the most competitive districts.
With the presidential election behind us and challenging years ahead, victories like this remind us that local battles matter more than ever. When we come together to support outstanding candidates like Dante, we can create meaningful change that protects democracy where it matters most – in our states and communities.
This victory belongs to all of us. Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting Leaders We Deserve as we continue to identify and back candidates who will fight for our shared values.
The work continues, and we'll need you more than ever in the battles ahead. Can I count on you to pitch in $5 to keep powering our movement?
With gratitude,
David Hogg
