John — It’s Halloween, and across the country, democracy’s giving us a fright.

In more than 10,000 races last year, no one ran at all. Not a single Democrat. Not even a Republican. Just bone-chillingly blank ballots where names should be.

If just one Democrat had stepped up, they could’ve zombie-marched right into office.

But when no one runs, communities lose their power to decide what kids learn, how roads get fixed, and who keeps their towns safe.

That’s why Contest Every Race exists : to recruit local Democratic candidates and bring dormant rural Democratic Parties back from the dead.

Help us raise them up — chip in now to fuel the next wave of local Democrats [[link removed]]

2026 filing (dead)lines are flying toward us like a witch on a broomstick. Our team is already at work in Texas, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, stirring the cauldron to brew up the next wave of local Democrats ready to run.

We’ve got calls scheduled, recruitment rallies planned, and local leaders ready to step up, but we need the resources today to keep that momentum going. Every dollar tonight fuels our organizers, helping them find new Democratic candidates before more seats go dark.

We’re not kidding. The scariest thing tonight isn’t ghosts or goblins. It’s another year of empty seats.

Before the clock strikes midnight tonight, help us keep democracy from vanishing:

Together, we can make Halloween a little less scary.
