Your $10 contribution with early voting now open will make a big difference for our campaign

  Hi john, it's Mandela. I'm reaching out to ask you to do something important with early voting beginning in Wisconsin today. This U.S. Senate race is going to be one of the closest races in the whole country. A CNN poll that came out yesterday shows us trailing by one point, and Coo…

The antidote to unchecked Trumpism

  john — I boast a lot about the power of this grassroots team. I’m always proudly telling everyone our campaign is fueled by tens of thousands of individual donations from folks like you, with an average donation of just $18. We’ve done the hard work of building a broad coalition of …

We cannot wake up on November 9 with any regrets

  john, This is Cheri Beasley, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. When I kicked off my campaign, I promised this team and North Carolina that we would work harder than we ever have to turn our state blue. I don’t want any of us to wake up on November 9 with regr…

It’s official: Louis DeJoy impeded vote-by-mail ahead of the 2020 election

  I’ve been keeping tabs on Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy since he launched his unprecedented assault on one of America’s most important public goods — the United States Postal Service. Over the past several years, he’s enacted harmful policies and leveraged the P…

My debate with Herschel Walker

  john — This is Rev. Raphael Warnock. Herschel Walker and I wrapped up our first and only scheduled debate before Election Day. I was thrilled to share my pro-Georgia record and show the voters just how different Walker and I are, but we have a problem: With experts at FiveThirtyEigh…

Right now

  john — I want to keep this really quick. There are fewer than three weeks (just 20 days!) left until Election Day. Across the country, millions of ballots have already been cast. That means that this election is being decided right now. MAGA Republicans and their dark money super PA…

My friends Catherine Cortez Masto, Maggie Hassan, and Reverend Raphael Warnock

Not an exaggeration

  We’re 23 days from the most important election of our lifetimes. That’s not an exaggeration, john. Making even more progress on issues like health care, inflation, and climate change, and stopping MAGA Republicans from working to rip away our reproductive freedoms — it all comes dow…

We can't get ahead of ourselves

Tracking behind

  Hi john, my team just gave me some bad news and some good news. The bad news is we’re tracking behind on our critical mid-month fundraising goal, and this isn’t one we want to miss — it’s the last mid-month fundraising drive before Election Day. The good news is we have today to cat…

They’re doubling down

Ron Johnson and his dark-money groups are using fear and deception to try to defend this seat

  john — It’s Mandela Barnes. I gave it everything I had during last night's debate against Ron Johnson. Now early voting begins on October 25. That means our chance to reach persuadable voters is rapidly decreasing with each day that passes. I'm going to keep working as hard as I pos…

Bad news
