We're only a few days into the New Year, but here at Democracy Defense Fund, we're already fully focused on winning the most important special elections happening at the very beginning of 2023, John.

But before I go into more detail, will you rush $25 to defend American democracy in 2023’s most critical elections?

In Pennsylvania, the state House of Representatives is split right down the middle with 101 Democrats and 101 Republicans currently in office.

But a special election happening in early February will decide the all-important 203rd seat and determine balance of power in the Pennsylvania state legislature.

In Wisconsin, a recent retirement by a Republican in the state Senate has left the GOP exactly one vote short of a two-thirds supermajority.

If Democrats can flip this Wisconsin state Senate seat in the upcoming special election, then Democratic Governor Tony Evers won’t have to worry about Republicans ramming through far-right, anti-democratic policies by overriding his veto power.

And, in just 7 days’ time, Virginia Democrats will try to hold on to their razor-thin three-seat majority in the state Senate when Democrat Aaron Rouse runs in Virginia’s 7th District.

With far-right Gov. Glenn Youngkin leading Virginia, it’s critical Democrats hold on to the state Senate to protect reproductive rights and defend the right to vote.

These are just some of the early 2023 elections that will determine the future of American democracy, John—and it’s why we need your help before tonight’s fundraising deadline.

Will you add $25 or more right away to help us win these critical special elections and save our democracy from any further corruption?

Thanks for stepping up,

Mary Trump
