A personal invitation for you

[Photo of Paul Begala]( Hi, team – I’m Paul Begala. For decades, I’ve devoted my career to helping elect top Democrats in tough races across the country alongside folks like my friend James Carville. [As I look forward to the fight ahead, I'm reaching out to invite you to be one of the 34 supporters from 06473 to complete the Democratic Governors Association’s newest April Priorities Survey.](~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) Let me explain why. Over time, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to win. Of course, there’s so much important work that needs to be done by a candidate and their team throughout a cycle, but here’s another fact: campaigns can’t succeed without the help of grassroots supporters like you. Your support – whether it’s your feedback, your donation, your vote, or your excitement – is essential to pushing a campaign forward from day one and at full speed ahead through Election Day. As I’m sure you know, we’re officially in the midst of a high stakes election year. Suffice to say, team, your insights and input are more important now than ever. [That's why I'm personally inviting you to participate in the DGA's April Priorities Survey. But this survey closes at the end of the month, so take a moment to share your response now:](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) [BEGIN HERE](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) Team, Democrats secured some huge victories to be proud of last year. We defeated Trump-backed extremists and protected abortion in states like Ohio and Virginia. And we reelected Governor Andy Beshear to keep Kentucky blue with the help of DGA supporters like you, maintaining the powerful blue firewall of Democratic governors all across our country that serves as a brick wall against attacks on abortion, efforts to undermine our democracy, and the worst of the GOP's agenda. However, our work as Democrats is far from done. Not only is there a crucial presidential election this November; there will also be 11 governors’ races on the ballot, including in critical battleground states like North Carolina and New Hampshire, that we will be working hard to win. And that’s why I’m writing: because the DGA can’t do it alone. They need real-time, accurate information from reliable folks on the ground like you to help shape their strategy and inform how they approach these pivotal races in November. So the team has specifically asked me to invite you to participate in their April Priorities Survey before midnight tonight. [Team, will you join now, while this survey is still open? I know what it will take for Democrats to win in November – and it starts with grassroots people like you coming together to fight for our blue firewall. So please, be one of the 34 supporters from 06473 to complete this survey by midnight.]( [TAKE THE SURVEY](/QS8zS3g2QlZDODZDbkFMRzdGY3pFVXBNZUpKVHhHcjdGcTRNVzc2Q2R4bXVteElXZyt4c05tTDQ2dVQ2WG0wdFV5OVViR1dJVkNnZ29qVWpHTzFEelBvQWUrRTltRGNYQ1pWalcyM3dxbmc9S0/c2pUQ0Y5K1BpL2oyNTZ2V3NmTWx0dWhCVDc4bzc4aFhmL0k5Z2tvN3REZllqU1lWNnJ6M21lWk9xUk84cVZRZmFNUWd2OExxTkhEdEVZZDJ1OVJiS0g4UC9Sc2piT2l2Rm52YkM2aGVTdUtodlFUZHFvTTZ3VmNpKzQrZ1RrcVU3STJIQ1l1eE9FbVRYdzhLU0FSY0Q2VFJMR3h5Rm05cnVIdU0zSksyNS9iQlFRSXFiVkx5OFhiUnpNUlVyYzd0UFc1MnJ4YTRyMjFZQ3hvRHFSRkxHVW9vbmVZYXZzeXBDRFYrbzZ0ZWtrenV5dkcwT2dPMFBzUXVSN0NZSUtTY2VRYUl6SXd1TkxOUHZhY1FHUGpaVnZwTnlNTTRIZ3UwNko0UjZTbUdMUTU1UlQzNDE0Ni9Icm1aL0dXMXpSOHEzRFlYR0JXMUxhSG9FZGdPT2pWRGR1ajBjSmRpQVpMbwS2) Thanks for your time, enthusiasm, and feedback.
