“The Democratic dream of holding the majority after 2022 lives for another day following Stansbury's win.”
- Chris Cillizza, CNN 6/2/21 [[link removed]]

It's amazing what happens when we come together and compete in a district. While we couldn't agree more with Chris's analysis, he's also not telling us anything we didn't already know. The only way we win in 2022 and make that dream of holding the majority reality is if we compete everywhere .

We can't afford to write any races off. You saw what happened when Democrats ignored Texas, and you saw what happened when Democrats united in New Mexico. This is the difference we can make if we stand together. And with things getting even crazier on the other side, we can't afford to take a break.

With three more special elections to go this year, we can't skip ahead to 2022 just yet. Donate to our Majority Defense Fund now and help us take the fight to The 147 everywhere. [[link removed]]

On to Ohio...

Friend,

The results are in and Melanie Stansbury has WON the special election to replace Interior Secretary Deb Haaland in New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District. For weeks we’ve been hammering home the importance of fighting hard through the finish line to make sure that voters don’t get complacent. Thanks to you, it worked.

We have to keep up the momentum. Can you donate $22 dollars to defend The House in 2022? [[link removed]]

We are tremendously proud to support Congresswoman-elect Melanie Stansbury. In Congress she will be a champion for the environment, working families, and missing and murdered indigenous women. Unfortunately, in these dark times, those qualities are secondary to the sacred job we know Melanie can be entrusted with: defending our constitution from The 147.

It’s so easy to get complacent right now. Spring has sprung, the quarantine is coming to a close, and regular order is returning to Washington DC. But The 147 are hard at work expanding The Big Lie and continuing to ostracise Republicans who refuse to swear fealty to Trump.

And we saw what happened in Texas. With your support, we were one of the only national organizations to get involved in TX06 and we lost by just 234 votes. When turnout was low at the start of NM01's early voting period, you helped us ring the alarm bells, get GOTV ads up on the air, finish strong and earn this win. That focus, that drive, is the only chance we have at scoring a historic upset in 2022 and defending our Congressional majority.

We need to double down. Our democracy depends on it. Donate $22 to our 2022 Congressional Defense Fund now. [[link removed]]

We've won the advantage, now we need to keep it.
