Hey John,
Did you happen to see our very own Ross Morales Rocketto and us in this
Politico article!? 👀
While we don't like to toot our own horn for no reason, we think this one is important. Like, saving our democracy important!
If you already know all about our democracy-saving investment in Clerk Work, will you chip in
$5
to double down on keeping Trumpy election deniers from overseeing elections?
We've been sounding the alarm for the past two years that
January 6th wasn't the end of attempted election subversion; it was just the beginning.
And like this
Politico headline says, there will be hundreds if not
thousands more "under-the-radar" election administration positions up for grabs in 2024.
If we don't want Proud Boys, MAGA extremists, and QAnon conspiracy theorists administering our elections and possibly subverting the 2024 election, we must invest and do the work…yesterday.

"The thing that keeps me up at night isn’t whether we can beat most of these folks — I think we can beat them in most places — it’s actually whether we get people on the ballot to run against them."

That's exactly why we launched "Clerk Work," one of the biggest progressive investments in protecting election administration positions in the country.
But we need to up the ante now. A recent survey of local election officials found as many as
18 percent are planning to retire or leave their position within the next two years.
That's a lot of open seats, folks. We know the far-right isn't going to let those go uncontested, and neither can we.
John, democracy isn't guaranteed — it’s only as strong as the people defending it. And we need a lot more people at the helm to defend it.
