Friend,

Last night, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist defeated an 50-year political dynasty in St. Louis.

Cori Bush is going to Congress, where she’ll join Jamaal Bowman and the Squad to form a powerful progressive voting bloc.

Data for Progress is a critical component of the new progressive infrastructure. Our polling and data analysis identifies vulnerable incumbents who stand in the way of progressive values, so that progressives can make winning investments.

Our polling in July showed that this race would be decided by the narrowest possible margin. And that gave groups like Justice Democrats, Sunrise Movement, and Fight Corporate Monopolies the confidence to go all in down the home stretch.[1]

This is important. We need more real progressives in Washington. The Squad is great, but it needs to grow if we want progressives to wield power.

The Squad’s victories caught the establishment off guard. They know we’re coming now. We have to be ready for whatever they throw at us. And when opportunity comes our way, we have to be ready to take it. Jamaal and Cori’s victories show that what we’re building is real.

Thanks so much,
