[1]congratulations Brandon Scott!

PFAW Member -- I have some AMAZING news!

A week after Election Day, the votes have been tallied and by roughly
2,000 votes, the Democratic primary for Baltimore mayor was just called
for PFAW’s endorsed candidate – and close friend of the organization –
Brandon Scott!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Brandon for the hard-fought and well-deserved victory.
Brandon will be an incredible Mayor and we look forward to supporting and
working with him in that role.

And THANK YOU to all the PFAW members – both in Maryland and across the
country – who donated to support Brandon’s campaign and volunteered their
time to call Baltimore voters from home and get out the vote for Brandon.

From the Baltimore Sun:

“Polls showed Scott as the only mayoral contender with near equal support
among both black and white residents. He also appealed to younger voters.
His surge of support from ballots that arrived in the final days of
counting suggest he was a favorite among those who cast their votes at the
last minute.”

This supports what we’ve said about Brandon all along and shows that our
work in the final days of this race to put Brandon over the top truly paid
off. At 36-years-old, Brandon is a groundbreaking young progressive leader
and his historic win in this election helps prove the model of PFAW’s Next
Up Victory Fund.

Next Up supports diverse, young progressive champions – age 40 and younger
– running for state and local office with the mission to build lasting
progressive power nationwide from the ground up and create a deep bench of
winning progressive leaders.

Supporting candidates who are not only young but who look like America is
critical to inspiring and energizing key voting communities to exercise
their rights and cast their ballots in races for every level of
government. This work continues to have a major impact across the country
and we know it will have its biggest impact yet in this year’s election in
November.

I hope you’ll join us in celebrating Brandon’s victory – it’s also a
victory for his city, for progressives everywhere, and for America as a
country.

----[previous message to PFAW members below for reference]----

PFAW Member,

I’m writing today to ask for a small amount of your time to help elect a
DYNAMITE young progressive champion as the next mayor of a major American
city.

Brandon Scott – a close friend of PFAW – is running to be the next mayor
of Baltimore and he recently picked up the enthusiastic endorsement of the
Baltimore Sun, the city’s major newspaper.

PFAW’s Next Up Victory Fund endorsed Brandon in this race early on.
Currently the president of the City Council, Brandon’s the strongest
progressive in the race and he’s running on a platform to advance social
justice and the common-sense reforms needed to secure a brighter future
for the city’s residents.

But his opponents in the Democratic primary – taking place THIS TUESDAY –
are pulling out all the stops to crush his momentum … including one super
PAC playing divisive racial politics by trying to smear his reputation
among white voters – even when he has always been about bringing people
together! (Brandon is African American and Baltimore is a 63% Black city,
but he enjoys broad support across all demographics, including among the
city’s white voters.)

So we’re asking that you help US pull out all the stops to put Brandon
over the top this Tuesday.

Can you sign up to join a special PFAW virtual phone bank party on Monday,
or sign up for another phone banking shift to call Baltimore voters from
anywhere in the country between now and Election Day? [link

Sign up for one or more shifts now>> [link outdated/removed]

PFAW’s Next Up Victory Fund is building a deep bench of winning
progressive leaders by supporting diverse, bold progressive candidates for
state and local office all across the country.

We’re building progressive power from the ground up … but we need your
help.

Thank you for everything you’re doing to make 2020 a banner year for
progressive victories.

-- Michael Keegan, President
