John,
Media Matters did the research and this is what we’re up against: 36 QAnon supporting candidates are running for Congress in 17 states.
JR Majewski, running in Ohio against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kapur, doesn’t just support QAnon, he’s even admitted to breaching the Capitol on January 6th as part of the violent insurrectionist mob that ended in the deaths of at least 5 people.
Guess which state has the most QAnon candidates running? Florida with 9. California is a close second with 6. There’s Daniel Wood in Arizona, Mayra Flores in Texas, and Jo Rae Perkins in Oregon. There’s even Reba Sherill, a self described health and wellness advocate, running in the congressional district that includes Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort – because of course she is.
The problem is that every single one of these candidates could win. After all, Rep. Lauren Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene won despite their support for the QAnon conspiracy.
The biggest problem though isn’t them. It’s us. Democrats have checked out. Way too many voters have taken a step back from politics since defeating Trump in November. Rank and file republicans and the mega donors and corporations that back them up are active and engaged. They’re organizing. They’re working. And too many democrats, even progressive democrats, are asleep at the wheel instead.
At DFA we aren’t checked out. We can’t be. We’re working to win in critical local elections and building for victories in 2022 in targeted races, especially the U.S. Senate, right now. We’re doing the work, but we can’t do it with your support. Please step up and support this fight BEFORE THE END OF THE QUARTER DEADLINE immediately >>

Omar Navarro is pro-Trump internet superstar and also a convicted stalker. He just got out of jail after serving 6 months for stalking an ex-girlfriend. Now he’s running for Congress and already has $50,000 in the bank. He raised that from jail.
Our opposition isn’t sitting tight and hoping to win back Congress. They’re stepping up, raising money, and building their campaigns now.
And let’s be clear, you and I both know that it doesn’t matter that these QAnon candidates are crazy. Take Marjorie Taylor Greene for example.
She actually claimed Hillary Clinton sexually assaulted a little girl, then sliced off her face and wore it as a mask. Yes. She said that. Marjorie Taylor Greene once claimed Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been replaced by a body double for years before her passing last summer. She even said California wildfires might have been started by space lasers controled by Jews.
So yeah, being crazy in the Republican Party doesn’t mean you’ll lose. In fact, it might actually help you win. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the top Republican fundraiser in the U.S. House.
The good news is we can beat them as long as we don’t wait to get involved. We have to start now. We have to fully fund this work and put our plan into action. And we can’t do it without your support. Please don’t wait. Don’t sit this out. Step up right now with a contribution of even $5 or go bigger and contribute $27, $50 or more, any amount helps as long as you do it now >>
We will beat them, because we have you.
Thank you for everything you’re doing to power this movement and make sure we defeat QAnon, insurrectionist supporting Republicans nationwide.
