re: The biggest Daily Kos endorsement update ever:

Friend, I want to follow up on this email Daily Kos Political Director David Nir sent to you last weekend. David consulted with local Democrats to finalize this slate of candidates where we think your contributions will go the farthest in the final days of the election. But these races provide a big bang for your buck in another crucial way too. With states set to redraw their electoral maps starting next year, flipping these legislatures will give Democrats a seat at the table come redistricting time. That means contributions made to these candidates this year could pay dividends for years to come—all the way through the 2030 election (!), if we succeed in flipping these legislatures from red to blue. You're not gonna get bang for your buck like that anywhere else. [Daily Kos has identified 13 state legislative races where small-dollar contributions can still make a huge difference. We've also zeroed in on two races for secretary of state and one race for attorney general that are key to ending voter suppression. That's why I'm asking you to chip $1 to each of these Daily Kos-endorsed Democrats right now. Each of them is running to flip a Republican seat, and beating the GOP's legislative candidates would flip these chambers from red to blue!]( Thank you again, Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, green wave? More like a [green tsunami](. Joe Biden and Democratic candidates for Congress—especially candidates for the Senate—absolutely obliterated fundraising records according to third quarter fundraising reports. These gobsmacking numbers have many grassroots donors asking a simple, but very important question: Where will my money have the biggest impact? As you know, 2020 isn't just an election year—it's a census year, too. That means that every state in the nation will redraw its maps for Congress and state legislature starting next year, based on census data collected this year. This once-in-a-decade redistricting process will play a critical role in determining who will be elected for the next 10 years. In most states, those lines are drawn by state lawmakers themselves, and the last redistricting process was dominated by Republicans after the 2010 Tea Party wave. We cannot allow them to dominate again next year, because we know they're eager to rig the lines once more. [These 17 state legislative races will deliver real bang for your buck. That's why I'm asking you to chip in $1 to each of them right now, and help us flip crucial state legislative chambers from red to blue ahead of next year's redistricting process.]( Daily Kos has been intensely devoted to state legislative races since 2011, making endorsements every year to chip away at Republican majorities. Now, this is our last, best chance to stop Republicans nationwide from gerrymandering themselves into power for another 10 years. Last month, Daily Kos announced its biggest endorsement slate ever—47 state legislative candidates running for Republican seats in eight chambers across six crucial states. The response we received from readers and activists like you was enormous, and after consultation with local Democrats, we know that these 17 races most need our support in the final weeks: - ARIZONA - Ajlan "AJ" Kurdoglu - Kathy Knecht - NORTH CAROLINA - Tess Judge - Donna Lake - JD Wooten - Terri LeGrand - Albert Kirby - Frances Jackson - Gail Young - MICHIGAN - Kelly Breen - Julia Pulver - Barb Anness - Christine Morse - TEXAS - Lorenzo Sanchez - Joanna Cattanach - Brandy Chambers - Celina Montoya [These races will deliver the best bang for your buck.
