🇺🇸 Hello John,

We know the news has been overwhelming, especially this month. So let’s break some things down and explain why your support before our end-of-quarter deadline could be decisive.
 
📉 What’s happening in Washington:
Trump’s second term is barely underway, and the chaos is already mounting:

➡️ Cabinet appointments based on loyalty, not competence
➡️ Threats to prosecute critics, journalists, and Democrats
➡️ ICE raids backed by military deployments in U.S. cities
➡️ A DOJ weaponized to suppress votes and intimidate states
It’s dysfunctional. It’s deliberate. It’s dangerous.
 
🛡️ Where DASS fits in:
While Trump consolidates power from the top down, Democratic Secretaries of State are holding the line in the states.
They’re resisting federal overreach into state-run elections, protecting voting access and ballot integrity, and standing up to disinformation and intimidation from this administration.
In 2026, 26 Secretary of State races will decide who controls elections in the lead-up to 2028.
  
💥 What your support does right now:
DASS is already on the ground in states like Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin — recruiting, training, fundraising, and protecting Democratic candidates in critical SoS races.
But to stay ahead of GOP megadonors and far-right legal networks, we need to close the books strong this quarter, and that’s where you come in.
