Hi friend, 

I’m reaching out to ask you to consider making a contribution to Win the Era, but first, I hope you’ll let me tell you why this work matters so much right now.

I’ve said before that I didn’t plan on sitting on the sidelines – least of all in a moment like this. And over the past few months, I’ve tried to live up to that.

I’ve been in Iowa, talking with voters about what this era means for their families.

In Indiana, standing with Democrats determined to prevent elections from being dictated by unfair maps before the first ballot is even cast.

In Michigan, hearing from residents who are organizing in their own backyards for political change – not just talking about it, but doing it.

And just last week, I joined a crowd of more than 1,300 in Virginia to support Abigail Spanberger, and send a clear message that Americans still want leaders who listen, serve, and lead with integrity.

Now, I’m heading to New Jersey to support Mikie Sherrill in her race for Governor.

Mikie represents the kind of leadership we need more of – steady, principled, focused on results instead of outrage. At a time when our politics is often defined by noise and division, she reminds people that public service means so much more.

To be clear: elections like this aren’t just about one state or one seat. With Donald Trump back in office, these early contests will amount to a major statement on the kind of country we want to be – whether we retreat into cynicism, or prove that decency and responsibility can still win.

That’s why we built Win the Era. We support leaders who step forward not because it’s easy, but because it matters. We show up in communities of all kinds, and work to remind people that democracy only works when we take action and participate.

I’ll keep traveling, to red, blue, and purple places, because I believe showing up is the simple and underrated core of how we can shape a better and stronger politics.

And if you believe in that kind of work, I’m asking you to help make it possible by chipping in $25, or whatever you can spare, today.

Thank you for being part of this community – and for proving that hope isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we build.

More soon,

Pete
