It's Matt from Shield PAC, and I’m here to level with you: losing is not an option. I've been working in politics for a long time, and I can tell you that our position in the House is more precarious than we've seen it in recent history— we're only 4 seats away from losing our majority.
Your support has been instrumental in funding our ad campaigns, where we do the necessary work to call out the GOP's reckless lies and deceptive tactics to protect vulnerable Democrats. And while we've seen absolutely incredible momentum, we need to keep pushing to counter Republicans' underhanded strategies.
This fight belongs to all of us, John. The side that wins the House majority in 2022 will set the legislative agenda for years to come. I don't need to tell you how important maintaining control is to fighting climate change, protecting voting rights, fixing our immigration system, and so much more.
There's no doubt that the GOP is on a path of destruction, which was made clear by the avalanche of lies they sent the Democrats' way in 2020. The impact was devastating.That's why Shield PAC was founded, to protect vulnerable Democrats from seditionist Republicans and their damaging lies.
We may have a long way to go — but with a situation as dire as this one, each donation has an enormous impact on advancing our mission. With the House GOP already raking in record fundraising numbers this year, we're going to need to match and exceed their momentum.
