John,

I want to talk to you today about two progressives who can flip Republican-held House seats blue in Texas and Michigan -- key states we need to compete in this November.

Gina Ortiz Jones is running to flip a Republican-held seat in TX-23. She’s a first-generation American, and an LGBTQ former Air Force intelligence officer who served under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Now, she’s running for Congress as a racial and social justice champion, a fighter for equal rights for all, regardless of race, national origin, sexual orientation, etc., and prioritizing education for all of our children by strengthening our public schools. Gina came just 926 votes short of flipping this seat in 2018. With our support, she can win in 2020 and make history as the first Filipina elected to Congress.

Jon Hoadley is running to defeat a seventeen-term Republican incumbent in MI-6. He’s led the fight for big, bold, progressive ideas on behalf of Michiganders in the state house for years -- and is running for Congress to put people’s needs first.

He’ll fight for working families, to protect our environment, and for better funding for public schools. And he’ll put people back at the center of decision-making in Washington.

But Gina and Jon can’t win these races alone. They’re counting on strong grassroots support to flip these seats and counter the corporate interests spending big in Texas and Michigan. Will you split a contribution between their campaigns and DFA to help them flip these red House seats blue?

DFA members like you are powering our work to elect progressives like Gina and Jon all over the country. Together, we’ll expand our House majority and defeat Donald Trump this November.

Thank you for being a part of it,

— Yvette
