John,

If we want to fix America's broken elections, we need to start building momentum right now for the campaigns that will win in 2024.

We've already seen a trend coming to life: city by city, state by state, people are coming together to pass laws that beat back special interests and the two-party duopoly. But we need to start preparing now for the next election cycle, and we know from experience that it can take two years to launch a new campaign.

We can’t do it alone. We’re counting on our Common Wealth community, a dedicated group of donors who make a gift each month to directly support our frontline campaigns. Their commitment ensures we have the resources to scale up our campaigns knowing that we have the funds to keep the momentum going for the long term.

Will you start a monthly commitment to RepresentUs today to join the Common Wealth and take your support to the next level?

Solutions like Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) are the antidote to politicians being held hostage by special interests. RCV allows voters to rank candidates from favorite to least favorite on the ballot. If your top candidate doesn’t win, your vote still counts toward your second preference.

This system encourages candidates to run positive, issue-based campaigns as they compete for second-choice votes, instead of attacking their opponent and alienating potential supporters like you. With RCV, you can honestly rank candidates in order of choice, rather than worrying about who is more or less likely to win. And it cuts down expenses big-time by eliminating the need for primaries or runoffs because all the candidates can be on one ballot for the general election!

We’re already building powerful momentum behind RCV in states like Colorado. Working with partners and volunteers on the ground, we helped pass RCV in the city of Boulder in 2020, and in 2021 we continued the trend in Broomfield, passing RCV for city elections. Now, we’re working in Fort Collins to pass RCV on the ballot this November – but we can’t stop there.

We’re building a trend, passing laws that will strengthen our democracy and we can’t afford to slow down now. There couldn’t be a better time to start your monthly commitment and join the Common Wealth community. I hope you do, so you can be a part of helping win critical campaigns.

Let’s get to work,

Megan Caska Interim Director of Political Programs RepresentUs
