Email from Defend Our Courts If we had lost, MAGA would have opened Pandora's box on our democracy. John, Before the year closes, the team at Defend Our Courts wanted to take a moment to look back and say thank you. Together, we built something extraordinary in 2025. Over 100,000 Democrats from every single state in the country rallied with Defend Our Courts to stop a MAGA takeover of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court. The stakes could not have been higher. If MAGA had seized control, they would have locked in gerrymandering and rigged elections in the most important swing state in America. If we had lost, MAGA would have opened Pandora's box on our democracy. But Democrats like you answered the bell and we didn’t just win, we blew MAGA out of the water by more than 30 points. John, you played no small part in that victory. In Philadelphia, where we concentrated much of our voter outreach along with digital and TV ads, turnout surged by 34 percent. That was the largest increase in the state. And it made the difference. It was the biggest, most consequential Democratic victory of 2025. And you were part of it, John. Now, we turn the page, and 2026 is already shaping up to be even more make-or-break for our democracy. Yes, control of Congress is on the line. But so is control of critical state supreme courts in Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan, with the same stakes on the line as PA. The national party will be stretched thin competing for control of both the Senate and the House. So Defend Our Courts is preparing to step up to the plate again to lead the defense, build coalitions, scale our programs, and operate across three states at once. In 2025, we proved that our strategy works. We have everything we need to meet this moment: the support, infrastructure, staff, and most importantly—you. John, what we built in PA is too effective, too important to step away from.
