John,
Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just signed an extreme gerrymander of the state’s 38 congressional districts into law. It’s hyper-partisan and aims to remove several Democratic seats from Texas for the next decade.
Voting rights groups are already challenging this in court for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. But with a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court supermajority and Mitch McConnell’s death grip on our democracy with the filibuster, it’s once again up to us — all of us — to defend our House majority with everything we’ve got.
We can’t let Republicans retake control of Congress. It’s simply not an option.
If they do, all of our progress could be wiped away, and Joe Biden’s agenda stymied. Effectively paving the way for Donald Trump in 2024. Our democracy is quite literally on the line.
Can you pitch in $10 right now to help us defend our House majority? As Republicans suppress voters and attack our democracy, we’re up against so much. We can’t afford to fall short and let them retake the House.

In 2010 not only did Republicans win 63 House seats — they also gerrymandered congressional districts across the country to stop President Obama’s agenda in its tracks — paving the way for Donald Trump and his brand of toxicity.
They also completely took over state legislatures and governorships, where they’ve spent years peeling back voting rights, workers’ rights, reproductive rights — you name it. Emboldened by Trump, the GOP is threatening our democracy like never before.
We can stop them. It is true that the party in power in the White House often loses seats in the midterms, but that’s because the president’s party traditionally gains seats in the prior election. But in 2020, Joe Biden had no coattails and we lost ground in the House — so we have already had our correction.
What’s more, there’s something very powerful that stands in their way. It’s youJohn, . The power of your contribution, your voice, and your vote can prevent a GOP takeover. Together, we can stop them.
But we need to put in the work. We need to build the resources now — Republicans will spare no expense, and they will do and say whatever it takes to win.
The stakes couldn’t be more clear, John. Can you chip in $10 right now to ensure we have the resources to defend and expand our slim Democratic majority? Every dollar makes a difference in this critically important year.
