John,

Just when we thought we were out, they pulled us back in! DFA endorsed 125
candidates during the midterm elections and 59 of them made it through the
primaries and general elections - despite redistricting, confusing, and
endlessly changing primary dates. We Saved the Senate, elected some
incredible, fresh Gen Z’s, and saved important Establish Justice candidate
seats.

But our work isn’t done yet. There are two very important runoffs on DFA’s
radar: everyone is looking at Georgia’s Senate race to give Democrats the
advantage in the Senate, especially since we lost the House (although not
by margins some were predicting!).

In Austin, DFA supported Daniela Silva, a bright, young, queer, Latina
running for Austin City Council in District 3. During the general
election, Daniela had multiple opponents. The front-runner, a moderate,
outraised her 3:1. Despite that, Daniela came in just two points behind
him. The other candidate captured 11 percent of the votes. That candidate
is now supporting Daniela.

Protecting and preserving our democracy is not easy work - especially with
such a tight turnaround and the holiday season. However, we count on you
to help inform voters and have meaningful conversations about the
importance of their vote.

With that, DFA is asking you to commit to our Five Days of Democracy.
We’ll kick them off with a DFA Member meeting, where we will hear from
speakers on-the-ground about how we can Save the Senate as well as support
DFA endorsed candidate, Daniela Silva in Austin.
