I’ll be blunt...

We must give state Dems the resources to defend our majorities, hold the GOP accountable, and win. That starts with hitting our critical $150,000 May fundraising goal before our deadline in one week.   Masha here, Senior Director of Direct Response at the DLCC. [In a moment I’m going to ask you to chip in $7]( – but first, let me explain why your gift today is so important. Over the next few weeks, Democrats are facing special elections in key states: - In the Maine House, Democrats have the opportunity to defend a critical seat or risk the GOP chipping away at our majority. - In Tennessee, two members of The Tennessee Three, Rep. Jones and Rep. Pearson, are running for their seats again after they were expelled from the House. - And, in the New Hampshire House, where our margin is razor-thin, there are two critical elections. Democrats could flip the chamber this year. It’s essential that we give state Democrats the resources they need to win against their extreme opponents, defend our majorities, and hold the GOP accountable. That starts with hitting our critical $150,000 May fundraising goal before our deadline in one week.

Republicans are pouring huge sums of money into the states to try and gain ground after Democrats’ victories in the midterms, so we need to hit every goal to stay competitive. But it’s going to take one last big push to crush May’s fundraising goal. If we fail to hit our end-of-month goal, we risk having to scale back our efforts ahead of a crucial election year. Unfortunately, as of 10:30 AM, we’re only 68% of the way to our May goal – that’s why we need Democrats from your community to step up today.
