I’m horrified for our elections

Hey {NAME}, it’s Shemia Fagan, Oregon’s Secretary of State and DLGA Executive Committee member. [With far-right candidates fighting tooth-and-nail to unseat our state Democrats, this fall’s midterms will be make-or-break for our democracy. Democrats cannot afford to lose any ground.]( [That’s why I’m emailing you today. To win this fight, we need your help: Can you rush $5 to the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association and help elect vital down-ballot Democrats before tonight’s mid-month deadline? Each dollar you give to DLGA gets us closer to our $25,000 goal.]( I’ll be blunt: our democracy has been under attack since Donald Trump realized he was going to lose the election in 2020. And as the official in charge of overseeing Oregon’s state elections, I’ve seen firsthand the speed and intensity of these targeted attacks on our most critical election operations. [{NAME}, I’m horrified.]( As I write this, the far-right is inches from seizing dozens of key state offices like mine — [offices that could overturn the people’s will and throw the presidential election to Trump in 2024 if his cronies have their way.]( And with the GOP spending MILLIONS propping up these “Big Lie” candidates, our state Democrats and our democracy are in real trouble. [DLGA is laser-focused on stopping these extremists from hijacking our free and fair elections by electing vital down-ballot Democrats. But it’s only through donors like you that we have the resources to compete in swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and beyond.]( [So now that you know what’s at stake, I need to ask: Can I count on you to chip in any amount before tonight’s midnight deadline to defend our elections, stop the MAGA GOP, and elect pro-democracy Democrats nationwide?]( [DONATE $5 →]( [DONATE $15 →]( [DONATE $25 →]( [DONATE $50 →]( [DONATE $100 →]( [DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT →]( Thank you for standing with us in this fight.
