Roll up your sleeves, John.

  John, the future of the Senate hinges on Georgia. Right now, Jon Ossoff is in the fight of his career to flip Georgia and end Mitch McConnell’s majority. Jon’s Senate race advanced to a runoff. Now, Republicans are more determined than ever to double down on voter suppression tactics…

re: Reverend Raphael Warnock

  John, we may have taken back the White House — but the fight for the Senate isn’t over yet: Reverend Raphael Warnock’s race has advanced into a runoff. In January, Georgia voters will head to the polls to cast their ballots one final time. When they do, we must make sure Rev. Warnock…

Because of you, John

  Hello John, Thanks to everyone reading this email right now — and millions more across the country who refused to give up — we did it. We defeated Donald Trump and elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House. We fought hard, battled some of the most egregious voter suppres…

Recount Pending:

  John, my friend TJ Cox’s race is too close to call and he needs our support now more than ever. After pouring every last dollar into this race, there is a chance that the election will go toward a recount. Recounts are costly and require significant resources that are fully funded by…

Lauren Underwood needs our help today

  Hello John, With thousands of mail-in ballots still being counted, the race in Illinois' 14th Congressional District is still too close to call. In 2018, Democratic U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood became the youngest Black woman ever elected to Congress. Now, she is running in one of the …

These leaders are shaping the next generation!

  John, thanks to you and every person who fought alongside me, we’re well on our way to enacting our bold, progressive agenda. Not only did we hold the House, but we also expanded our progressive majority by electing eight new promising trailblazers that will lead the next generation …

Jon Ossoff’s race in Georgia

  John — control of the Senate hinges on Georgia, and right now we only need to flip two more seats to end Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority. This morning, it appears Jon Ossoff’s Senate race in Georgia is heading toward a runoff. Make no mistake: Republicans will go to the ends of the…

We can still flip the Senate

  John, I know you’re tired and ready to relax — but the battle for the Senate isn’t over and we can’t stop fighting now. Democrat Rev. Raphel Warnock just advanced into a runoff election in Georgia. That means we still have a shot at flipping the Senate and ending Mitch McConnell’s ma…

Not asking. Just thanking.

Counting on you, John

  This will be quick, John. I hope you’ll take moment to read to the end: There are only a few hours left until polls close, but there are still tens of millions of Americans who haven’t cast their vote — which means our work is not done. The good news: We still have enough time to rea…

Michigan

Judge Amy Coney Barrett
