Hey Team,
We just wrapped the first holistic and comprehensive postmortem on the 2020 cycle and we’ve got a tough truth to share: the GOP’s lies about Democrats worked.
Even though none of our NewDem members or candidates support “Defunding the Police” or are “radical socialists,” all of them were targeted with paid ads featuring disinformation and lies about where Democrats stand on keeping communities safe and ensuring equity in policing.
Here’s the kicker — Republicans deployed these attacks most fiercely against candidates of color. Big surprise.
While their lies worked in 2020, NewDems are battle-tested and know the path forward: We must strike back against false attacks.

In 2020, NewDem Action Fund defended 22 of the most competitive races and flipped three seats from red to blue. If we’re going to maintain our Democratic majority in the House, we need to make sure NewDem campaigns across the nation have the resources to fight back against false attacks and GOP lies.
2020 taught us that Republicans have no qualms with downright lying about Democrats. And it worked. Our retrospective analysis showed that when Democrats have the resources to set the record straight, forcefully respond to GOP lies, and organize in all communities: We win.
Will you chip in $20.22 to take a stand against GOP lies?
Thank you for taking a stand,
NewDem Action Fund
