BREAKING... recent developments have shaken up the race for Ohio's 9th Congressional District, where environmental champion Rep. Marcy Kaptur is in a tough race against Trump-endorsed MAGA extremist J.R. Majewski.
Ohio Republicans redrew Rep. Kaptur's district in hopes of unseating her as the longest-serving woman in House history. But their candidate has thrown that plan into jeopardy following a series of bizarre lies about his record of military service.
J.R. Majewski claimed he'd been deployed to Afghanistan. That was a lie. He claimed he'd earned a demotion after a fight in his Air Force dorm. In fact, he'd been caught driving while intoxicated.
Earlier this summer, Majewski was favored to win the race. Now — even in this heavily gerrymandered district — we have
an incredible shot at reelecting Rep. Kaptur. Members of Congress like her are the reason we were able to win passage of historic climate legislation this year.
We can't let environmental champions lose their seats this November — we need your help to turn out pro-environment voters in key races.
Bottom line — we need your help.
Our Get-Out-The-Vote program needs to go even bigger in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other swing states and districts to help pro-environment candidates win. If everyone reading this right now pitched in — even just $5 — we'd blow through that goal in minutes. Every contribution is being triple matched right now >>
We have a real chance at turning out enough voters to win, Friend. In districts like Ohio's 9th and others, we can re-elect proven environmental champions to Congress ... or we can risk losing to extremist candidates who will tear down
all of the big environmental progress we've worked so hard to achieve.
In races this close, the environmental movement can make the difference.
Yet without more resources, expanding our campaign in Ohio would mean scaling back our investments in other critical House and Senate races. Right now, we're also in the middle of major efforts to help turn out voters in places like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
And we can't go after extremists like Majewski if it'd mean losing a shot at defeating candidates like Sen. Ron Johnson in Wisconsin or Herschel Walker in Georgia.
We're asking for your help — and it needs to be now. Opportunities like these could seriously swing this election, but only if voters hear from us before they cast their ballots. We need to move quickly if we want to have an impact.
Your support will make an immediate impact if you give to LCV Victory Fund today. Even $5 makes a difference. Donate now and your contribution will be tripled >>
We can do this — we just have to do it together. And there is no time to waste.
Onward,
