Resistance is Local: Oklahoma Beats the Red Wave

John,

I wanted to share with you a few details about our strong local performances in the election. While Republicans played offense nationwide, Democrats like yourself held the line here at home. We live in an R + 34 state, and against those strong Oklahoma headwinds, local Democrats crushed it.

We retained all of our legislative seats. Across our targeted House races, challengers outperformed the increased Republican advantage by an average of 5.2 points! And we elected a Democratic mayor in Tulsa. In a year that Trump turned out more Republicans, our candidates had to work day and night to stay in the game. They delivered.

I specifically wanted you to see strong Democrats running well ahead of the national ticket. The future of resisting rightwing extremism from Washington is local. Self-funded radical Republicans poured millions of dollars into targeted attacks against Democratic incumbents. But they weren’t intimidated, they formed unique relationships with voters, and they WON by the incredible strength of their efforts.

The above map is similar to the strong showing from many Democratic incumbents. You helped us safeguard strong voices at the Capitol who keep the focus on building a better Oklahoma for working families. Local Dems aggressively flipped precincts like you see above, and it is a testament to what people-powered campaigns can accomplish.

And that’s why I’m writing this. When we run strong people-powered campaigns, we're organized and equipped to fight back. So, with municipal and school board elections officially underway, we need your help now.

Now we need you to help us build the strongest defense possible against the incoming radical policies coming for our neighbors and our schools. Chip in today and you’ll help us support the dozens of concerned parents and citizens about to step up and fight for their communities. Your contribution fuels our efforts to equip these campaigns with the best data, the best staff, and allows us to take on key challenges that often overwhelms smaller campaigns.

I’m grateful for your partnership in stopping the red wave in Oklahoma. Now I’m asking you to stay involved, stay engaged, and help us build the defenses our communities will need.

In Solidarity,

Alicia Andrews
