Happy New Year, John!

We're hitting the ground running, and we're walking into the New Year more organized than ever. With over 100 candidates running for office, over 50 counties organized, and by building on 2025 election wins and successes, we're getting ready for our strongest midterm election year yet. Because of last year's work, 200,000 more Oklahomans will have a choice at the ballot box for state legislative offices.

Today, we wanted to talk about you.

Last year, we reached over 34,000 voters, many of them Democrats. Almost every single one said they were fed up with the way things are, and are ready to do what it takes to bring change to our state.

That's why we're here to offer you a few options for what YOU can do to help us kick off our best year yet:

These are three simple steps - Register To Vote, Request Your Ballots, and then Take Action.

By Registering to Vote as a Democrat, and helping all your friends to do the same, you are putting us in an even better position to make real change in 2026. Change starts at the ballot box, and we're doing everything we can to bring as many folks to the polls as possible - that's why we launched our largest targeted voter registration program last year.

Did you know you can request all of your mail ballots at once? If you request all your ballots in the New Year, the Election Board will mail your ballots throughout the year as they become available. This is a super easy way to ensure you don't miss a single election, from School Board to Senate!

Once you register to vote and request your ballots, it's time to take action! Elections are won by boots on the ground, and by visiting our Action Hub, you can sign up for events, start volunteering with us, and get to know your county party better. The best part about our Action Hub is that you can start small. Right now, maybe you just want to show up at a coffee shop and meet other Democrats in your neighborhood, and we want to help you get there.

As we continue to build November's victory by raising the funds necessary to support our campaigns and recruiting the volunteers to reach voters statewide, we are preparing for our strongest November performance in years. 

From New York to Tennessee, from Georgia to Oklahoma, folks are ready for change. We couldn't be more excited to hit the ground running and provide a real challenge to our State's right-wing establishment. We just need your help to get there - so register to vote, request those ballots, and get in the game by taking action!

Thank you, as always, and Happy New Year!
