Friend — this November, our movement has the power to flip several Senate seats held by corporate polluters' favorite candidates.
In Ohio, Trump darling
J.D. Vance — who recently went on a tirade against electric cars — will be up against Democratic Representative
Tim Ryan, who scored a 100% in LCV's National Environmental Scorecard last year.
This is an
incredible opportunity, Friend. One of these candidates will replace retiring Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), who scored just 35% in last year's Scorecard.
If we win this race, we gain an amazing environmental champion in the Senate.
Here's the tricky part:
Vance is currently leading in the polls. The
FiveThirtyEight average gives Vance a 5-point lead over Tim Ryan.
Friend — right now a group of donors is matching every contribution to help turn out voters in key races like Ohio's Senate race. Can you chip in to help us flip this and other seats in favor of pro-environment leaders in the Senate? Even $5 helps.
We have a
real chance to remove some of corporate polluters' favorite candidates from the Senate. Right now, environmental champions in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are running against Republican candidates who
opposed the historic climate bill.
These and other races will be really, really close. The result could come down to how much we can invest in winning right now. That's why
we're in the middle of scaling up a major field organizing effort — working with our state affiliates and partners around the country to
knock on at least 1.17 million doors.
Our strategy is to reach pro-environment voters that may be on the fence about voting in this election. We will make sure they have the information they need. And we'll get them to the polls to protect the Senate from corporate polluters.
Friend — our field organizing programs work. Election after election — LCV Victory Fund has an incredible track record of defeating the worst anti-environment candidates and helping environmental leaders win their races.
But it only works when folks like you pitch in. So we're asking: Please, triple your impact today. Even $5 is enough to make a difference.
Thanks for your support, Friend.
Onward,
