We are pacing behind.

Friend - $5. That's the contribution I am asking you to make to The Long Run today. Let me quickly explain why: We are less than a year from Election Day. And that means we’re starting to make tough budget decisions that will impact our work for the remainder of the cycle — decisions like w…

Pennsylvania is as competitive as ever

I had to reach out ASAP. Hi folks, it’s Carville. I’ll tell you right now: we’ve gotta get serious about Pennsylvania’s Senate race. David McCormick — a mega-millionaire hedge fund guy who can spend HUGE sums of his own money and self-fund this race — is trying to flip PA’s Senate seat red…

Abortion rights are now protected in Ohio!

This is monumental news: Ohioans just resoundingly voted to enshrine abortion access in our state’s constitution! Voters came out in droves to send a clear message: Ohioans believe women’s health care decisions should be between them and their doctors, not politicians. Moments like this mak…

Tomorrow Virginia will determine the fate of abortion access in the South

Friend - This is important. Tomorrow, the voters of Virginia will determine the fate of abortion access in the South at the polls. Tomorrow’s election is critical. If Republicans win control of the State Senate and the House of Delegates, Virginia’s extremist governor, Glenn Youngkin, will …

BREAKING: Robin Vos is impeaching Meagan Wolfe!

This is very serious

All 140 seats of Virginia’s state legislature are on the ballot, and if the MAGA GOP takes full control, they will ban abortion. That’s it, that’s the truth. We’re working desperately around the clock to protect reproductive freedom in Virginia, the last Southern state to have access to thi…

If Republicans want Jim Jordan to lead them, we must make them pay a price

Friends, The overwhelming majority of House Republicans are trying to make Jim Jordan Speaker of the House, and if he manages to win, his speakership will be a grave mistake. Why? Let’s just look at Jim Jordan’s record: He is an ultra-conservative Trump ally and a staunch election denier. …
