Not Great

  John xxxxxx —  We pulled our grassroots fundraising numbers this morning and it looks like we are still coming up a little short of reaching our September target. It’s not where we wanted to be, but that’s okay there’s still time! This means we have some catching up to do and tim…

First...Then...Now

  FIRST: Hakeem reached out personally this month because he knows how important it is that we hold this seat and defend our Democratic House majority. THEN: We told you that our goal is to raise $15,000 before our FEC deadline at the end of the month. We can’t afford to come up sh…

$16.02

  $16.02 That’s the average donation of online grassroots supporters like you so far this month. It’s something we’re really proud of because it means that anyone can become a part of this campaign. Whether you’re donating $5, $10, or $16.02 — every bit adds up. $15,000 That’s our …

Good and Bad News

  John xxxxxx — we have some good and bad news to share. Let us rip the bandaid with the bad news first, here it goes. The bad news is that Republicans are laser focused on restricting voting rights across the country so they can have a better chance at taking back our House majori…

Nobody in the GOP got this memo:

  John xxxxxx, Today, American families received their third monthly child tax credit payments under the American Rescue Plan’s expansion.  Read these quick facts about the expanded CTC, then add your name if you agree they should be made permanent: The Treasury made 36 million pa…

Weekend Update

So much is at stake in 2022.   John xxxxxx — we promise not to take up too much of your time. We have one ask to make before the weekend is over: If you are able, will you make a $10 donation to help us win this race and defend our House majority? So much is at stake in 2022. If we …

Joe Neguse needs our help

  John xxxxxx — I’m reaching out today, because my friend Joe Neguse in Colorado just found himself in a difficult spot and he could use our help. Let me take a moment to explain. The latest draft of Colorado’s congressional map just came out and it drew Lauren Boebert and Joe Negu…

Our work continues

Since 1619

  The history of the American worker is a story older than America itself, John xxxxxx. It's a plot rooted in chattel slavery and deep gender bias, the rebellious spirit of freed people seeking access and advancement, and the ingenuity of our small business owners and inventors. Fr…

I want to hear from you

The American Rescue Plan is working.

  Over 200 million vaccinated Americans, historic job growth, an economy that's grown by 6.4% this year, monthly child tax credit payments to almost 47,000 local households, and unemployment claims cut in half: The American Rescue Plan is working, John xxxxxx. As Chairman of the Ho…

re: a year ago and a year from today

  Tonight’s fundraising deadline is more than another check on the road to Election Day 2022, John xxxxxx. It's a pivot point between two stark realities: the state of our country on this day one year ago, and the place we might find ourselves by the end of August 2022. This time l…

Only a few seats will determine who has control

  Hi John xxxxxx, In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to contribute to our campaign. I hope you will allow me a moment to explain why your contribution will go a long way right now. In 2020, Americans voted in record numbers to send Joe Biden to the White House and elect Democra…

The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

We know what happens when we get complacent

  Hey, John xxxxxx — We can’t use the calendar as a barometer for how concerned we should feel about House Democrats’ chances for success in 2022. After losing the House majority in 2010 and the Senate in 2014, we know what happens when Democrats become complacent. With Democrats w…

A little short

Yesterday’s hearing of the January 6 Select Committee

The right to vote is essential
