Tomorrow, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) will vote on making
South Carolina the first presidential primary in 2024.

But a group of local mayors, state legislators, DNC delegates, and other
leaders just released a letter urging the DNC to make the first
presidential primary state one that’s both diverse and competitive in the
general election -- like Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, or North Carolina.

Whether 2024 or 2028, candidates will invest hundreds of millions of
dollars in the first primary state -- talking with voters on the doors and
in paid communication about Democratic values -- more so than any other
primary state.

Given the high stakes in defeating Trumpism, can we afford to waste that
investment on a state that isn’t competitive in the general election?

[ [link removed] ]Show solidarity with local Democratic leaders urging the DNC to make a
strategic decision -- co-sign their letter calling for the first primary
state to be diverse and competitive in the general election. Read it and
sign here.

If you happen to know your local DNC member, please send this email to
them.

DNC members who will be voting tomorrow morning have already seen this
letter reported on in The Associated Press, Washington Post, Politico, and
other media outlets. We will inform them and the media about thousands of
public co-signers.

This is fundamentally about not shooting blanks in the battle to save our
democracy.

The Congressional Black Caucus has endorsed Nevada to hold the first
presidential primary -- due to its competitiveness in the general election
and diversity with Black, Latino, and Asian American voters. It also has
strong union laws.

Local South Carolina labor leaders have urged the DNC not to reward a
state that has some of the worst union laws (including non-union hotels)
in the nation. Politico reports that $11 million went to hotels alone in
Iowa in just the final weeks before the Iowa caucus!

Whether it is Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, or North Carolina, the math is
really simple. Democrats should be investing in a diverse, competitive
swing state that can help us defeat Trumpism in the general election.

first-in-the-nation primary in a state that’s both diverse and competitive
in the general election?

We will inform DNC members and the media about thousands of public
co-signers.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
