Re: Yes, this is a fundraising email, but it's an important one. With time running out to contribute to campaigns, these are the races we think can most use your support and will give you the most bang for your buck:

Hey hey, a quick follow-up to David's email: State-level races, like the ones we describe below, are the cornerstone of Republican power. They've allowed Republicans to gerrymander electoral maps and disenfranchise voters, giving the GOP a huge advantage even as a majority of people vote against them. I know they're not as sexy as congressional races, but these campaigns are hugely important, and Democrats this year could make big, big gains—picking up key statewide offices and maybe even flipping some state legislatures that Republicans thought they had in the bag. [So please, if you haven't already, chip in $1 to each of these state-level candidates now. Time is running out!]( Keep fighting, Amanda McKay, Daily Kos P.S. See the email below from my colleague David Nir for more information about why we chose these campaigns: --------------------------------------------------------------- DAVID'S EMAIL: Dear Daily Kos reader, there are just a few days left to win this election, and I want to take a moment to explain where I think your final contributions can make the most difference: - Democratic candidates for Congress have obliterated fundraising records. On top of that, well-funded outside groups on both sides are flooding must-win districts with ads and mailers. There's simply no way Daily Kos readership can compete with the money being spent in congressional races these last few days. - Democrats running further down ballot are still lagging behind Republicans financially. These races—including campaigns for governor, secretary of state, attorney general and state legislature—have gone under the radar for most of the year, and one report shows Republican maintain a [five to one]( advantage over Democrats in key state legislative races. - Campaigns can still spend money they raise effectively, but time is running short. Money raised today and tomorrow can boost digital ad campaigns, rent vans to shuttle voters to the polls, and more. But campaigns only have a day or two at most to finalize these plans. The most important races you can contribute to right now are down ballot races. [Daily Kos has endorsed more than two dozen down ballot campaigns this year. We've specifically picked non-federal candidates who are strong progressives and whose races could have major national implications.
