The New York Times just confirmed what we already knew: Key swing-district Democrats are at risk of losing their seats in 2022 if we don’t do everything we can right now to combat Republican lies.
Democrats already lost 14 House seats in 2020 thanks to disinformation campaigns and smear tactics from the GOP. We can’t -- and won’t -- let that happen again.
The seditionist, Trump-loving Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz will use every vile tactic in their playbook to unseat moderate Democrats this election cycle.
We’ve already seen their strategy -- the shameless spread of misinformation, the attempt to brand moderate Democrats as “the radical left” -- citing toxic political positions that they do not hold. There’s no doubt that they will only accelerate these dirty tactics (with millions of dollars behind them) for the 2022 midterm elections.
That’s why we launched Shield PAC -- assembling a bold team of former members of Congress and Democratic candidates who were targeted by Republican lies in 2020 and lost -- to help defend vulnerable Democrats this election cycle. And we need defenders of democracy like you on our side.
