John,
56 House Republicans voted to overturn Nevada's election results on January 6, after a deadly Capitol insurrection that cost five lives.
As the election results were certified, Nevada Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto rose to condemn the violence she saw that day and the GOP's efforts to overturn the votes of millions of Americans in her state. In her words, “The people have spoken in this election, and our only job here today is to do what they ask.”
Sen. Cortez Masto stood her ground, defending our democracy in a chamber that eventually acquitted Donald Trump for inciting the Capitol riot.
Now, CNN is projecting she'll lose her seat this cycle.
John, this is bad news. Senator Cortez Masto is the first and only Latina in the Senate -- we can't afford to lose her seat if we want Democrats to control the Senate.
You helped us flip the Senate in 2020 -- now, we need your help to make sure it wasn't all for nothing. If we want to continue the progress of the Biden administration, one thing is clear: We can't just keep this slim majority, we need to expand it. Losing Sen. Cortez Masto's seat isn't an option.
We're making sure that we lay the groundwork to elect powerful Democratic women to the Senate in 2022 -- and defending Sen. Cortez Masto's seat is our top priority.
But this is going to be an expensive race, Sen. Cortez Masto only won by 2 points in 2016. Republicans are already investing millions into defeating her -- and we're already falling short of our goal. If we want to execute all of our plans to help defend Senator Cortez Masto and the Democratic Majority, we can't afford to fall behind.

If Republicans retake the Senate next year, we WILL see more rollbacks on voting rights protections, a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and a freeze on climate action -- all at the hands of the same senators who enabled fascists to march through the Capitol doors on January 6.
Thank you for helping us make sure that the GOP's plans for the future never become our reality.
