John, Historically, voter turnout is much lower in non-presidential election years. But in this year’s mid-term elections, we’re working to defy that trend. Already in primary elections in California and many states across the country, turnout has surpassed 2018 midterm general election levels. John, Democrats understand that this year’s mid-term election is different. With so much at stake, this “off year” election is just as important as any Presidential election in our lifetimes. Democratic voters are fired up! If we keep them engaged and make sure they get to the polls in November, we can keep our Democratic majorities in Congress and continue the important work we’ve begun under President Biden and Vice President Harris. Since reclaiming the majority in Congress, my Democratic colleagues and I have worked tirelessly to put people over politics and to deliver big results. The recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act makes that clear. This landmark climate change and health care legislation is a historic win for the economy, families, and the planet. As the largest-ever federal investment in tackling climate change, the Inflation Reduction Act establishes clean energy tax credits and grants across industries, cost-saving benefits for individuals, and tax credits for consumers purchasing electric vehicles. This is a major economy-wide shift toward cleaner, cheaper energy that propels us forward and meets the urgency of the moment. And, it does this all while prioritizing environmental justice and advancing American energy security and independence. Our hard work to position America as a global leader in the climate fight and put us on a path to achieve our climate goals is starting to pay off – but we’re not done yet. The Inflation Reduction Act passed without a single Republican vote in the House or Senate. Unfortunately, we can’t count on Republicans to step up for the American people. The progress we are making is possible only because we have the Biden Administration working closely with a Democratic-led House and Senate. That’s what is at stake in this year’s elections. Our goal must be to not only maintain our Democratic majorities in Congress, but to grow them so that we can deliver even more big results. Will you pitch in $20 before midnight to help us expand our majority and keep fighting for progress? Thank you for being on our team. Jared
