Hey John,
After a truly grueling couple months, this weekend I’ve been doing some reflecting.
I’m thinking about how our work holding to account those responsible for the attack on democracy last year has made one thing incredibly clear: Our system was strong enough to hold — but there is no guarantee it will hold again, if we don’t stop the spread of the Big Lie that almost destroyed it.
We can’t afford to let Trump’s cronies gain any more power. The danger they have put our democracy in — not to mention what they are doing to roll back voting rights, abortion access, LGBTQ+ rights — has proven that they will do anything to control our country and tee up an illegitimate Trump presidency should he run and lose in 2024.
I’ve also been thinking about the state of the midterm elections. The reality is, historically, voter turnout is usually low during a midterm year. In addition to that, the party in power typically loses seats — seats we can’t afford to lose with a 4-seat House Majority and 50-50 Senate. And now, it’s clear we need to add at least two pro-choice Democrats in the Senate to abolish the filibuster, and codify Roe into law.
This is why I’m not taking anything for granted, and why it’s so important that we band together before Thursday’s FEC deadline so that we can protect our House Majority and expand our Democratic coalition.
So I’m humbly asking:
