This ain’t my first rodeo

[Photo of Paul Begala]( Hi, team, it’s Paul Begala. I’ve spent decades working alongside top Democrats and helping them win tough races all across the country – so I know firsthand what it takes to win. With just months to go until 11 critical governors’ races, along with control of Congress and the White House, we need to know what’s top of mind for supporters like you. [That’s why the DGA and I have worked in tandem to create an exclusive survey just for you – our June Democratic Priorities Survey – because Democrats are facing an election year like no other, and we need to make sure we have the most up-to-date feedback from reliable supporters like you. So please, act now:]( [TAKE THE SURVEY]( Democrats are locked in tight races in battleground states North Carolina and New Hampshire ahead of November’s elections. Here’s my analysis: - TOSS-UP: North Carolina → North Carolina is the most competitive and expensive gubernatorial race in the nation this year, and it won’t be an easy road to victory. Polls show a statistical tie between dangerous conspiracy theorist Mark Robinson and state Attorney General Josh Stein. U.S. News is calling it a “knock-down, drag-out contest” and Inside Elections has this race rated as an official “toss-up.” Republicans are eyeing this as their top pick-up opportunity – so we really can’t afford to lose this swing state, team. - TOSS-UP: New Hampshire → GOP Gov. Chris Sununu will not be seeking reelection. Now, Kelly Ayotte – who spent her time in the U.S. Senate pushing to pass a national abortion ban and restrict access to birth control – and Trump-loving state senator Chuck Morse – who was the architect of New Hampshire’s first modern abortion ban – are facing off in the Republican primary. Key political analysts have changed their ratings of this race from “solid R” and “likely R” to “toss-up,” making this state the DGA’s best pick-up opportunity of the cycle. But I’m writing to you today 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 I’m asking you to act before midnight tonight. [Team, will you take my June Democratic Priorities Survey now, while it’s still open? I know what it will take for Democrats to win in November – and it starts with grassroots supporters like you coming together to fight for our blue firewall. So please, be one of the 186 supporters we need to hear from in your state.]( [TAKE THE SURVEY](-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) Thanks as always for your time, enthusiasm, and feedback.
