Friend,

It has never been more critical that we hold every single Republican who refuses to accept the legitimate outcome of our elections accountable. Our democracy is at stake, and their continued attacks on our democracy are leading to serious acts of violence.

If you care as deeply as I do about our democracy, join me in electing Democrats up and down the ballot. Let me tell you why this has never been more important.

The rise in political violence from the far-right isn't a mistake -- it's part of their plan. Whether it's the insurrection on January 6, the recent gruesome attack against Speak Pelosi's husband, or the planned conspiracies to kidnap sitting governors, Republican leaders and candidates have purposefully fed into this violent climate to rally their base.

Across the country, election deniers are running for office to seize the levers of power -- including right here in Washington state. Ahead of our last end-of-month fundraising deadline before these pivotal midterms, will you chip in $10 to help our campaign fight for democracy?

Here in Washington state, congressional candidate Joe Kent is putting conspiracy theories front and center in his campaign, calling January 6 an "intelligence operation" and claiming our state's election process features "funny business."

MAGA candidate Matt Larkin is running against Rep. Kim Schrier. Larkin spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, even going as far as to say he could make a good case that he won his race for Washington Attorney General in 2020 (a race he lost by 1 million votes).

Extremist Tiffany Smiley is running to unseat Sen. Patty Murray -- and Smiley conveniently scrubbed her website of all her previous election denial and is accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in support from election deniers nationally.

These candidates stand against our fundamental American values, and their refusal to accept the outcomes of our electoral process is leading to the political violence we see gripping America today. We must do everything we can to stop them from winning power -- the fate of our democracy is at stake.

Before our critical deadline, chip in $10 to help our movement elect pro-climate, pro-democracy champions across Washington state.

Very truly yours,

Jay
