Hi, John!

It’s officially December – 13 days til Hanukkah🕎, 24 days til Christmas🎄, one month til the New Year🪩, and 11 months til Election Day 🗳️!

On the subject of holidays, we hope you ate plenty of turkey over Thanksgiving.

Did you notice any differences in the political conversations? If so, we’d love to hear 👂what was different and if you tried any of our suggestions about being curious in order to find common ground.

Speaking of important dates on the calendar: 🗓️⬇️

Filing to run for your local School Board begins TODAY, December 1, and ends Wednesday, December 3.

Now more than ever, our schools need real leaders to serve their students and communities as we rebuild from Ryan Walters’ failure. 

We’re here to support your candidacy!

Click here to let us know you’re running (or thinking about it), and we’ll be in touch.

Visit your County Election Board office that’s in the same county as your school district headquarters to officially file for a school board seat. Your local school district can tell you which seat is open in your district and if you live within its boundaries.

Leader Cyndi Munson is catching national attention.

Last week, Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky, the incoming chair of the Democratic Governors Association, told HuffPost, “We’re going to elect Democratic governors in places people aren’t expecting them.”

The article went on to say, “Beshear was tight-lipped about specific targets, but Democrats have long been optimistic about State Auditor Rob Sand’s bid in Iowa and are now closely tracking the candidacy of Cyndi Munson, the minority leader of the state House of Representatives, in Oklahoma.”

Leader Munson is running a strong campaign, and OUR WORK on the ground connecting and organizing our Democratic neighbors is making a difference!

Everyday across the state, our volunteer Precinct Officers are making contact with fellow Democrats in their area. You know what they discover?

There’s a whole bunch of us!!

This year-round, relational organizing is what leads to Democratic wins on Election Day. Learn more about becoming a Precinct Officer here! We need YOU on the team to flip seats in 2026.

The Dogs for Democracy Calendar is back for 2026! Big dogs and small dogs, young dogs and old dogs, hot dogs and even DemoCats will be featured each month. Just no MAGA dogs, please! 😜🐶😺

Reserve your pet’s place in our 2026 calendar now. Your sponsorship will give your dog a well-deserved moment in the spotlight while also helping elect Democrats across Oklahoma. Wagging tails and flipping seats – what could be better?

Holidays or not, Democrats are gathering for good times together every week.

Don’t let the month get by without checking our calendar for events in your area.

Grab a friend and show up! We’d love to see you.

See you next Monday!
