He's planning ahead to make sure Democrats have the resources needed to counter GOP extremism in the new Congress. With Republicans gaining a slight House majority next month, we need to be ready to fight back when they push wild conspiracy theories or refuse to help working families.That means meeting our fundraising goal for the FEC deadline on the 31st.
David has proved that bipartisan progress is possible on important issues like gun violence prevention and LGBTQ+ rights — but the far-right is going to do everything they can to divide Americans and make cooperation in Congress impossible.
Democrats can stop the far-right from controlling the narrative, but only if we have the resources necessary to counter their messaging in real-time.

Thanks,

Friends,
After a midterm full of successes for Democrats — holding the Senate; winning in Georgia, RI-01, and other close races; keeping Republican gains in the House to a minimum — my team and I are now looking ahead to the new year.
When we close the books on 2022, I want to make sure we're ready to hit the ground running when the new Congress is sworn in next month. The GOP will have a narrow majority in the House, and we've learned in recent years that countering extremist rhetoric is most effective when it's done quickly in real-time.
That's why I'm planning ahead to make sure we stay on track to hit our fundraising goal on the Dec. 31st FEC deadline. I'm trying to raise $10,000 in grassroots donations, and although the month is halfway over I'm not yet halfway there.
If you're able, can you chip in any amount to help fight GOP extremism in the House? They may be gaining the majority, but we can stop them from controlling the national conversation.
