Democrats won big on Tuesday – we need to keep the momentum

  Team, this year’s elections were just a glimpse of what 2024 could look like, and the results give me Bright Hope for what’s to come. Ohio voted to protect abortion rights, Kentucky re-elected their Democratic Governor, and Virginia regained a Democratic majority in their House o…

our numbers don't look great

  Team, tomorrow is Election Day and we’re going to do something we haven’t before: share some insight into our internal polling data. Our team has been surveying Ohioans to understand if they are or will be voting yes on Issue 1. And the numbers show a far tighter race than we'd l…
