I’m humbly asking

I am reaching out to humbly ask you to make a $3 contribution to The Long Run before our April end-of-month deadline comes to a close at midnight today. April has been a tough month for our PAC. We leaned on this team and pushed as hard as we could to get Judge Janet across the finish line …

Clarence Thomas

Friends - By now you know that Justice Clarence Thomas was exposed for accepting tens of millions of dollars in gifts, trips, vacations, and access to events by one of the largest Republican mega-donors and failing to disclose it under Ethics law. We should be outraged. Time and time again…

The Tennessee Democratic Party needs our support

Friends — Over the past few weeks, Tennessee has made it crystal clear that democracy is not a priority for its legislators. We saw the Republican State Senate Supermajority choose their self-interests over the lives of children when they expelled two Black lawmakers for expressing their r…

zero room for error

Friends — I recently launched my very first reelection campaign for the U.S. Senate in Nevada. Can I take just a minute to explain why this race is so important? Right now, analysts at FiveThirtyEight say that the GOP has “a clear path” to retaking the Senate majority — and it could all com…

Our goals are fairly modest

Team, Tomorrow we will hit the midpoint of April and we are pacing behind our April fundraising goal. At this point in the month, we should be nearly halfway to our $44,000 goal but are only 37% there. We are so close, but in order to get there, we need to have a big day today. So will you…
