I have an important favor to ask of you, John: I am about to ask you to start a monthly contribution to the DNC before tonight's important fundraising deadline. This is the first time I’ve asked something like this of you, so let me explain how your monthly sustaining gift can make a critical difference in the future of our party.
This month, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made history. That victory was your victory, John. It's yours because people like you volunteered your time, your money, and your support.
And importantly, when the DNC started the hard work of rebuilding our party the moment Trump took office in 2017, people like you supported that work early -- with enough time to build the apparatus it takes for Democrats to win at the national level.
It took years of difficult, persistent work to rebuild our party into one that could defeat Donald Trump, and building for future races -- whether a special election, Senate runoffs, or the midterms -- will take early planning and investment, too. So while tonight marks a monthly FEC deadline for our party, the folks at the DNC and I agree that the single most meaningful gift made to our party right now is a commitment to stay in this fight for the months ahead. And it’s clear we still have work to do.
Will you start a monthly sustaining contribution to help build and maintain the robust party infrastructure it will take to elect Democrats at every level? Whether for the Senate runoffs in Georgia or future races to come, we must be ready to support Democrats in all 50 states.
