John,
March Madness is officially underway! This year, we thought it would be fun to have a tournament of our own to determine what candidates and races you are most excited about this year.
Today we’re starting with the Senate division, where we have some exciting pick-up opportunities and must-win incumbents.

In the Democratic-held Senate division, Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock and Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. Republicans are salivating to take back Georgia, and we know they will throw everything at Senator Warnock to take him down. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is also in a tough fight for her second term, and experts are calling this race a true “toss-up.”
We know this is a tough choice, but we have to ask: what race are you most excited for? Cast your vote by chipping in any amount. Your contributions will go straight to their campaigns.

Next, it’s a match-up between Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona and New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan. Both are progressive champions that Republicans are desperate to defeat this year. In Arizona, it’s a pure toss-up. The Republican primary is a real race to the bottom as the candidates try to win over Trump supporters and defeat Mark Kelly. In New Hampshire, Republicans are struggling to come up with a challenger, but Maggie Hassan is very vulnerable this year.
Now, we need you to tell us which race you are most excited about this year. Let us know by contributing $1 or more. Your contributions will go towards supporting Kelly and Hassan’s campaigns.

The next match-up is between Republican-held seats in Wisconsin and North Carolina. In Wisconsin, the incumbent is Ron Johnson, who you may remember called the deadly insurrection a “peaceful protest.” In North Carolina, Republican Richard Burr is retiring, so we have an open seat that is a prime pick-up opportunity for Democrats.
What race are you more interested in? Contribute (even $1!) to cast your vote. Your contributions will go to the eventual Democratic nominee in these races.

Finally, we have two wide-open races in Pennsylvania and Ohio in the Republican-held bracket. In Pennsylvania, TV quack “Dr. Oz” has deep pockets that could help him win the primary. And in Ohio, a crowded field of Republicans are tripping over themselves to gain the support of the MAGA mob. So flipping these seats from red to blue is a huge opportunity for Democrats this year.
Which race are you watching closely this year? Contribute any amount to cast your vote. Your contributions will go to the eventual Democratic nominee in these races.

We look forward to seeing which candidates and races receive the most contributions!
