Today we’re launching a new fund to protect Democrats

  Republican voter suppression efforts are in overdrive, John. Since the GOP lost the White House and Senate, 389 undemocratic voter suppression bills have been introduced in 48 states. And we can expect even more in the coming weeks. These efforts could jeopardize our chances of hold…

Tim Ryan

  Flipping Ohio would be a major blow to Mitch McConnell and the Republican Party, John. So far, the pieces are falling into place: The current GOP incumbent is retiring and we have a strong candidate in Democrat Tim Ryan. But the political winds aren’t in our favor, and fundraising i…
