Hi
John,

Wanted to give you a quick update since our last endorsements email...
since then we have made over 35 more endorsements at the state and local
level! We’ve even added a few more at the Federal level as well. Just in
time too, since post-Labor Day to Election Day non-stop Get Out the Vote
work roared out of the starting gate last week.

With so many new endorsements to round out the year, I wanted to share the
updated list so you can see the incredible impact of your support for our
work as we take these critical campaigns over the top.

With just 8 weeks left for several of these campaigns, I do need to cut to
the chase: The more resources we have the more we can do and the more
races we’ll win. Are you able to make a donation today of
$5 -- or
more -- to help us increase our GOTV work driving progressives to polls in
all our targeted races? Here is a link.

We have a lot of campaigns where we’re providing important support right
now and every dollar we raise will be put right to work!

And let’s be completely clear: Because we spend and support candidates
dynamically based on their up to the moment needs and targets in real
time, it’s never too late to support our work. Thank you for considering
an investment towards this year’s elections.

Thank you for all that you have done for DFA and for giving us this chance
to make a very big difference for these great candidates!

Now here is the list.
