We didn’t just beat Andrew Cuomo last night. We beat $30 million in
spending by the same billionaires who backed Donald Trump AND a political
and media establishment that told us this race was unwinnable. Zohran ran
on a bold, progressive vision, and proved that young, people-powered
candidates can WIN, even in the biggest city in the country.
Leaders We Deserve was the single largest outside spender for the
campaign, investing $300,000 in a Zohran-affiliated SuperPAC. But more
than that, we hit the streets. I was in NYC alongside Zohran’s team,
knocking doors, talking to volunteers, and watching this remarkable
movement cross the finish line.
I got to see firsthand the relentless positivity that Zohran brought to
this campaign. People believed in this movement. They showed up. Every
time I passed someone on the street with a Zohran sticker, it turned out
to be another volunteer. This campaign was not just impactful, but was
JOYFUL. It won not because it had Republican billionaires on its side.
Zohran won because he had tens of thousands of volunteers on his side who
all believed he could win even when most counted him out. Those volunteers
won this campaign.
Races like this show us what limits us as a country and a party is not how
hard we can work or how many doors we can knock, it's how big we can dream
so we have a message compelling enough that people will go door knocking
in 100 degrees or keep phone banking or working the polls. Thank YOU for
helping us take one step closer to making our dream a reality for so many
Americans, especially young Americans looking at this race for any reason
to hope and not give up.

This is what happens when you give young people a candidate to believe in,
and it’s why we’re not stopping here. This win is a symbol of Democratic
voters’ deep desire to turn the page on a failed status quo and the
leaders who created it.
We launched Leaders We Deserve because we were tired of being told to wait
our turn. Last night proved we don’t have to. We can run now. We can win
NOW.
Our mission is simple: help young, bold leaders win power and transform
what’s possible in American politics to combat the hopelessness so many
have that represents the greatest threat to Democracy. The establishment
has never been weaker than they are now. Leaders We Deserve has more
incredible young candidates running for state and federal office across
the country — and with your help, we’re going all-in to help them win.

John, if
you're with us, can you chip in $5 to fuel our next wave of
wins?

Let’s make this the cycle we change everything.
ALSO: Special shout out to the monthly small dollar donors who came up to
me at the election party for Zohran! Without people like you we could not
do this work.
In solidarity,
David Hogg
