A longer note on the state of campaign funding in our country – and why we are counting on your help to elect Democrats + turn things around.
Across the country right now, there are incredible Democratic candidates running for office — up and down the entire ballot, in every single state.
They’ve got organizers knocking on doors. Volunteers making calls. These candidates are tirelessly showing up for their communities day after day.
The energy is there. The people are there.
Money is the factor that is too often missing.
ELECT DEMOCRATS: CHIP IN NOW
Here's the reality we’re facing right now: The Republican Party is propped up by a network of billionaires and special interest groups who can write massive checks without giving it a second thought. Dark money flows freely – funding attack ads, voter suppression efforts, and GOP candidates who answer to their donors instead of the people they were elected to serve.
Democrats are doing things differently. Our power comes from real people like you – grassroots donors who give what they can, when they can, because they believe that our country can do better than it’s doing right now.
And that matters enormously. But it also means we face hard choices.
Right now, we’re working to support Democratic candidates in all 50 states.
We all know there is no shortage of fights worth having – and no shortage of dedicated leaders who are ready to have them. But without adequate resources, we are forced to make impossible decisions about where to invest, which races to prioritize, and which communities we simply cannot reach.
Every state matters. Every election matters. Every constituent matters.
ELECT DEMOCRATS: CHIP IN NOW
We know what happens when Democrats show up everywhere: We win.
And we know what happens when we give up ground: Republicans entrench themselves for decades, gerrymander maps, restrict voting rights, and make it harder to fight back the next time. We cannot afford to let that happen.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to give – this is it. Your donation today helps us support good candidates running in red and purple states across the country – where the odds are long but the stakes are even higher.
Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can to help us show up everywhere and WIN in 2026?
