John,
I am going to shoot straight with you.
According to the ‘very smart consultants’ in DC, our Democratic campaign in the special election Florida’s 6th Congressional district has already lost this election. They say:
- The district is too red and that Trump/MAGA are too powerful, triumphant, and near omnipresent.
- The narrow pathway to retaking the House via winning the three special elections in 2025 is impossible. Democrat’s only shot of retaking the house is in 2026.
-
It would take a literal miracle for us to win here.
When Democrats don’t try we lose. Despite what the institutional losers in DC say (yes the same ones who played a decisive role in our 2024 loss) this race is beyond winnable.
Seeing is believing, and over the past two and a half months, I have seen with my very eyes the rise and rapid scaling of a campaign that could win this.
In these past two months we’ve raised over $7.3 million (what most representatives raise in a two year cycle), have recruited tens of thousands of volunteers in district and from all fifty states, have hired a team of over a hundred paid staff the majority being canvassers who are knocking over 10,000 doors a day.
Even if they were right that a literal miracle would be required to win, I believe we are on the cusp of one.
Miracles are happening every day for us. Just last Friday we were more than $53k off from our vital end of month target, donations were rapidly slowing down, and less than three hours remained on the clock. Not hitting our target and being unable to pay out our massive payroll.
