It all leads up to this...

ShieldPAC   John, As we wrap up November, we're taking a look back at the list of the most shameless GOP liars in the House -- and we need YOUR help to pick the absolute worst of the worst. Each month, we've asked you to pick from a crop of House Republican liars and seditioni…

🍂 The leaves are falling, and our fundraising deadline is approaching

ShieldPAC   Hey John, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but before we sit down and tuck into some delicious turkey and pumpkin pie, we need to get one thing out of the way: our end-of-month fundraising goal. I spoke with our finance team this morning, and our numbers ar…

Republicans are stooping to all-time lows to take back control of the House

ShieldPAC — assassinating the character of reliable leaders, threatening electeds, and fabricating lies that have no basis in reality.   John, If your inbox is anything like mine, I’m sure you’re getting a lot of emails asking you to chip in a little of your hard-earned money …

We're losing ground, John!

ShieldPAC   CHIP IN & FIGHT BACK We're in trouble, John. According to recent polling, the GOP has a 43-40% lead over Democrats across 85 battleground districts. Thanks to a combination of vile tactics — including racist dog whistles and dangerous lies about COVI…

[ACTION NEEDED] Help flip a red House seat blue

ShieldPAC   Hey John, A little while ago, this team heard from our friend Jackie Gordon, who ran for congress in 2020, about how we can't let the GOP's misinformation crusade go unchecked. Last year, radical Republicans littered the airwaves with hateful smear campaigns target…

A rough week for Dems

ShieldPAC   John, We're not gonna sugar-coat this — it's been a rough week for Democrats. In 2020, President Biden won Virginia by 10 points. This week, Democrat Terry McAuliffe lost the Virginia governor's race by over 2 points. It's a major setback, but what concerns me is t…

This is a nailbiter, John

ShieldPAC   John — We're just hours away from our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and we're about to fall short. The truth is, our Democratic majority is relying on Shield to defend its campaigns from dangerous GOP misinformation. But if Shield PAC falls short this month, we wo…

Pulling back the curtain

Are political ads too negative?

ShieldPAC   John, I know we talk a lot about ads and how harmful they can be when spewing total BS, but after talking with a coworker this past week, I’m curious: What do YOU think about political ads? Do you think they're too negative? I want to hear from you so I can report …

The frightening truth

What gives me hope

ShieldPAC   John, it's Matt. Here's the situation: Republicans only need to flip 4 seats to take control of the House in 2022. I know we've said it time and time again but I need you to know how close we are to losing our majority. I wish I could tell you we don't need to be w…

I fought for our country. The GOP still tore me down.

Politico: GOP maps are making it harder for Dems to win
