John,
Last night was a reminder that none of our hard fought seats are guaranteed to stay blue. We saw a flood of Republican dark money infiltrate seats from Virginia, to school board elections across the country, and in local municipal campaigns like in Aurora. New Jersey saw a 15 point shift to Republicans, enough to wipe out our majorities in Colorado.
To be clear, it means Colorado is back on the map for the GOP for 2022.
We share a lot in common with Virginia. Joe Biden won both states by more than 10 points less than a year ago. Republicans spent almost $60,000,000 to flip it. I sent an email a few weeks ago pointing out that dark money is back; back in Colorado, Virginia, New Jersey and America, in general. We saw it yesterday in school board races across Colorado. And we need your financial support to avoid the type of things that happened last night.
We need to fight like hell for every vote for every seat in 2022 and while we don’t have the $60,000,000 that the GOP spent in Virginia, we do have supporters like you. The CDP operates on a small but effective budget. The more we raise this year will go directly into preventing the type of results we saw last night.
