John, I’ll be straight with you — we’re behind on our fundraising goal this month.

We’re not here to shout “the sky is falling!” or trick you into donating. That’s not how we do things. But we will tell you the truth: we need to raise funds quickly to keep our programs running strong.

At Contest Every Race, every dollar has a purpose — and a clear path to impact. Your contribution helps:

* Recruit Democrats in districts where Republicans have gone unopposed for years.
* Fund county grants so local Democratic teams can organize year-round.
* Build our tools and resources that guide everyday people through running for office.

Since 2018, Contest Every Race has recruited over 11,000 Democrats to run for local office — and 43% won , helping to rebuild the Democratic bench from the ground up.

But this month, we’ve hit a fundraising slump. And if we don’t meet our end-of-month goal, we risk scaling back the very resources that help us reach new candidates and counties.

We don’t have right-wing billionaires funding our work — we have you. Small-dollar donors power everything we do.

Can I count on you to chip in $10 or more to help us close the gap and keep growing this movement? [[link removed]]

We’re not panicking — we’re organizing. And with your help, we’ll keep building a movement that ensures every county in America has a Democrat on the ballot.
