Democrats are overperforming across the map, John

John, You’ve probably heard Democrats like us say that the momentum is with us this cycle. And it’s true. While it’s common for public opinion to shift toward the opposition party after a new president takes office, what we’re seeing this year has been especially striking. Democrats have overpe…

🗺️ Electing more governors

John, In 2025, we made history by electing two Democratic pro-choice women governors. [Images of Gov. Mikie Sherrill (NJ) and Gov. Abigail Spanberger (VA)]. This cycle, we're building on that momentum and getting ready to elect or reelect 11 more. Katie Hobbs (AZ-GOV) Katie Porter (CA-G…

The MAGA playbook: voter suppression

John, Donald Trump is so scared about what could happen in November’s midterm elections that he’s trying everything he can to keep Americans from the ballot box. He targeted mail-in voting with unconstitutional executive orders. He pressured House Republicans to pass a bill that would disenfranchi…

Ann Richards territory

John, Polls are now showing only three points between me and Greg Abbott. Let me break down what this actually means. 3 points is the same thin margin that sent Ann Richards to the governor's mansion — the last time a Democrat led Texas. 3 points is some of the closest polling Greg Abbot…

I’m Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, a mom of three, and the Democrat running for U.S. Senate to defeat Republican Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. If we flip this seat, we can end Lindsey Graham’s career and help Democrats retake the Senate, and expand the map for Democrats in future election…

Supporting women = smart electoral strategy.

John, in the two decades I’ve spent working in politics, I've heard the same thing over and over: "He looks like a senator. He has the money. There's no path for a woman candidate to win here." But cycle after cycle, EMILYs List women have proven that wrong.  Angela Alsobrooks and Juliana S…

The House has voted to lock millions out of the ballot box 🗳️

John, In February, the U.S. House passed a new version of the SAVE Act — a dangerous, anti-democratic bill that would require American citizens to show documents like a birth certificate or passport just to register to vote. Now, the bill is stalled in the U.S. Senate, where Democratic pro-choice…

Greg Abbott vs. Gina Hinojosa:
