Hello,

Riled up by fear of losing control of the Senate in January, Republicans are now focusing their attacks on Raphael Warnock, whom they’re calling “the most radical Democrat on the ballot this year.”

And these fear tactics might just work, considering the way they’ve rallied voters in the past by baselessly depicting Democrats as “socialists” and “radical leftists.” We can’t afford to let that happen. We need to win both seats -- if we do, we will control the Senate starting on January 20, and Kamala Harris will have the power to break ties in the chamber while Mitch McConnell sits idly by.

Despite what Republicans want you to believe, that future isn’t far-fetched. Both Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff came within 1 or 2 percentage points of winning more votes than their Republican opponents in the general election. And we saw in real time how grassroots action flipped Georgia blue for Joe Biden for the first time in decades.

But the GOP is counting on your apathy to keep its Senate majority.

As FiveThirtyEight has warned us, “now that Biden is the president-elect, many Democratic voters may feel that their mission has been accomplished and not bother to vote in the runoff. This is exactly what happened in previous Georgia runoffs.”

In every Georgia runoff since the 1960s, Republican vote share margins improved from the general election -- all because Democratic turnout fell sharply. We need to ensure that every eligible Democratic voter casts their ballot in January so Democrats can finally take back control of our legislature -- but right now, we don’t have the funds we need to effectively enact our voter outreach strategy in Georgia.

 

The fact is, if Republicans keep control of the Senate, you know they’ll block all of the progressive legislation we fought so hard to defend in this election. Mitch McConnell would love nothing more than to prevent the blue wall from reaching Washington. But we have the power to make sure it does. Starting January, we could have a government that works for us -- but we need your help. Will you pitch in whatever you can now to help us take back the Senate and ensure that every single eligible Democratic voter casts their ballot in the Georgia runoffs?

 

 

Thank you for not walking away when we need you most.

With your help, we’ll finally put an end to Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard.
