First Georgia, now Texas and Florida

  John xxxxxx, Across the country, Republicans are doing everything in their power to make it harder for people to vote. First, the state of Georgia passed onerous voter suppression legislation to curb mail-in voting and make it a crime to offer water to voters waiting in line. Now, T…

Vigilance

  We have to remain vigilant, John xxxxxx. Earlier this month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced raising a staggering $3.2 million in the first quarter of this year. A huge portion of this fundraising came after she voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. But the big c…

Tim Ryan can flip this Ohio Senate seat

  John xxxxxx, I have some exciting news to share with you: my friend, Congressman Tim Ryan just announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in Ohio. Tim’s the first Democrat in this race to flip one of the most competitive Senate seats in the country. If we win here, we’ll have a real…

Re: Statehood for DC

  Did you see this email from Hakeem yesterday, John xxxxxx? The House just passed legislation in favor of making Washington, DC our 51st state! President Biden has already signaled his support for DC statehood, which means it’s up to the Senate to provide DC residents with the fundam…

Statehood for DC

  John xxxxxx, Today, the House of Representatives passed historic legislation in favor of making Washington, DC the 51st state. For far too long, DC residents have been denied their proper representation in Congress and the fundamental right to self-government. It’s just plain wrong.…

this is accountability, but it is not justice

  John xxxxxx, A Minneapolis jury has convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin on all three counts of second degree unintentional murder, third degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd. While this verdict provides a measure of accountability, it …

You’re a key part of everything we do.

Republican fundraising

An opportunity to invest in our future that we can’t afford to miss

Louis DeJoy

  The Republican megadonor that Donald Trump hand-picked to serve as Postmaster General is still on the job -- and it seems he's still hell-bent on running the U.S. Postal Service into the ground. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy just announced a new 10-year strategic plan for the Posta…

Georgia

  It’s pretty simple, John xxxxxx: Republicans are carrying out a systematic attack on the right to vote. It’s an attack ignited by Donald Trump’s Big Lie that the election was stolen from him and implemented by Republican-controlled state legislatures across the country. As many as 4…

Dropping you a short note before the midnight deadline:

  John xxxxxx, With just a few hours left until the FEC deadline, my team tells me we still have a small gap to close in order to reach our fundraising goal. So I’m reaching out with one last ask: John xxxxxx, will you make a contribution to our campaign before tonight’s FEC deadline?…

Two options

  Here’s the deal, John xxxxxx: With our first FEC deadline of the year just two days away, our grassroots fundraising has slowed down unexpectedly. That leaves our campaign in danger of coming up short of our first end-of-quarter fundraising goal of 2021. If we’re going to catch up, …

We have an epidemic of gun violence.

Republicans get America into trouble

  John xxxxxx, Sometimes it seems like a never-ending cycle. Republicans get us into trouble, Democrats get us out of it. From driving us into the Great Recession in 2008 to dismissing COVID-19 as a “hoax” in 2020, we’re always left picking up the pieces after Republicans leave office…
