I've been on the road helping our candidates so often lately that it's rare I get to sleep in my own bed anymore.
Faith,
I've been on the road helping our candidates so often lately that it's rare I get to sleep in my own bed anymore. But each time I get the news that someone we endorsed won their election, I know it's worth it.
Here's a few of the places I've been lately:
- Orlando, FL to support Nate Douglas. At 23 years old, Nate would be the youngest person in the Florida legislature.
- Atlanta, GA to support Bryce Berry. He's 22 years old and would be the first public school teacher ever elected to the state legislature.
- Houston, TX to support Molly Cook. She's also 23 years old and is currently the youngest and most progressive member of the Texas Senate.
This work is tiring, but it's worth it to elect so many awesome young leaders — and none of it is possible without your support. Can you pitch in $5 today to help us keep electing young leaders across the country?
One thing I've learned is that not everyone does it like us. A lot of big national organizations will parachute in, shell out thousands of dollars for really generic-seeming ads, and call it a day.
But being on the ground, meeting campaign staff, and talking directly to voters allows us to invest your donations much more effectively because we know exactly the best place to spend it.
We can identify what each campaign needs to move the needle in their races — whether that's more doors knocked, a TV ad, a mail piece on a certain issue, or something else entirely.
And the work is paying off, too. Last year we elected our first endorsed candidate, Nadarius Clark, in Virginia. And just a couple weeks ago, Molly Cook won a special election to serve out the remainder of the current term in the Texas Senate (though she'll still have to win the primary runoff and a full term in November).
We're looking forward to electing Nate, Bryce, Molly, and all of our endorsed candidates this November, but we truly cannot do it without your support.
As a grassroots organization, we don't take corporate donations. We're counting on your help to support each of the candidates we endorse.
So Faith, if you want to help us keep electing fantastic young leaders all over the country, please pitch in $5 to Leaders We Deserve today.
