Arena Community,

 

The verdict is in: Arena trained-staffers are the difference makers on critical state and local campaigns. 

 

In 2022, our Arena Staff Fellowship was the key factor in winning back the Pennsylvania House, and the political press is taking notice. 
Image of the Daily Beast logo with a headline that says Dems Have a Plan for a More Moneyball Approach to Campaigns followed by a quote that says “Typically, you have a campaign manager, and that’s usually the only person you’ll have on a state House campaign,” Trevor Southerland, executive director of the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee told The Daily Beast, crediting Arena’s program for making all the difference in flipping the Pennsylvania House for the first time in 12 years, and winning it by just one seat.

We are ready to scale this program in 2024, but we can’t do it without you.

 

Can you become a monthly sustaining donor to the Arena Staff Fellowship so we can flip state legislatures across the country?

 

State legislatures have a tremendous impact on our everyday lives and basic rights, but Democratic state legislative candidates can almost never afford to pay the staff they need to win. 

 

That’s where Arena comes in. We train and pay for the talent to fight the MAGA movement and win back state houses from coast to coast. Will you become a monthly sustaining donor to the Arena Staff Fellowship so we can get to work?

 

Your donation funds the salaries and health care for staffers like Lilly who helped flip a Pennsylvania House Seat by just 58 votes, and Alba, who secured a victory for the first Latina ever elected to that body. 

 

Around the country, MAGA state legislators are attacking our rights and our democracy. In just the last few weeks, Texas legislators have introduced more than a dozen anti-LGBTQ bills, the Virginia MAGA Republicans introduced a bill to ban abortion after just 15 weeks, and the Missouri House of Representatives passed a rule banning female legislators from showing their shoulders!

 

The work to win in 2024 starts today. Together, we can strategically invest in campaign staff and chip away at the chokehold radical right Republicans have on our local governments and our lives.

 

Become a monthly sustainer of the Arena Staff Fellowship.

 

With gratitude,

Lauren Baer

Arena Managing Partner
