 | | "Here are four states where redistricting isn’t over: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio" -- NBC News |
Pitch in today to help All On The Line defend fair maps. >> Sula -- I know we sound like a broken record, but redistricting isn’t over. Our affiliate is supporting voters in states like Alabama, where unresolved challenges over the Voting Rights Act continue to loom in the Supreme Court. Conservative lawmakers in North Carolina are exerting their extreme views and seeking to block fair democracy and representation. At the heart of this fight for fair maps, conservative state legislatures are attempting to gain power over state elections without state courts' involvement. No oversight = Less accountability In other key battleground states like Ohio and Georgia, tense battles arise as extremist conservatives attempt to impose election laws that stiffen voters' access and opportunity to select fair representation. We are raising the alarm. As they continue to stoop lower in their attempts to disregard the constitutional rights of voters across the country, we will continue to mobilize our grassroots activists to ensure we raise the alarm in courts and communities across the nation. We must act now. Donate today to support All On The Line's democracy reform work and stop the new wave of anti-democratic tactics pushed by extremists to avoid accountability.

 | | | | FIRST: State Democrats flipped the first competitive special election of the year by just under 700 votes in Virginia, despite massive Republican spending. THEN: We found out that Democrats are facing four MUST-WIN elections in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire this February! These chambers are so close that the winners of these specials could determine who is in the majority in the months and years to come. NOW: State Republicans are determined to win so they’re pouring huge amounts of money into these elections – competing in our races in Pennsylvania costs 25% more than it would have last year! SO: We need grassroots Democrats to step up and support our efforts to elect state Democrats – and the best way to do that is to become an official 2023 DLCC member. Your membership contribution of $10 or more today will help fund our push to win special elections this year by investing in data, support staff, and campaign services in our most critical states like Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

- Fund our campaign efforts to take back the Virginia House and protect the Virginia Senate
- And provide the early investment needed to build the infrastructure to win in 2024 and beyond

The clock is ticking - we’re just two weeks away from the first of FOUR ultra-competitive special elections in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. These next four races are huge opportunities for Democrats: - Democrats are facing special elections for three previously Democrat-held seats in the Pennsylvania House – these races are MUST-WINS for Democrats to potentially reach a majority in this chamber this year.
- A New Hampshire House race is a TOSS-UP after November’s election ended in a tie. Winning this seat is critical to maintaining our razor-thin chamber margins.
- We only need 4 seats in the New Hampshire House to FLIP the chamber from red-to-blue and we already have two special elections on the books!
Our candidates are gearing up for a tough fight. Special elections are notoriously unpredictable – earlier this month, our Democrat flipped his Virginia Senate seat by just 696 votes. That’s why we need your help to come together so we can build campaigns strong enough to meet this critical moment. Will you chip in $7 right now to help state Democrats WIN critical elections in states like Pennsylvania and New Hampshire? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Republicans are in complete disarray – they’re focused on passing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, prioritizing tax cuts for the mega-rich, and dismantling abortion access – instead of tackling real issues that need real solutions. State Democrats are putting in the work to keep people safe from Republicans’ dangerous platform of abortion bans, voting restrictions, gender discrimination, and so much more. The contrast is clear, now all that’s left to do is lend your support before voters in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire start filling out their ballots. But these special elections aren’t cheap. Republicans are eying these specials just as much as we are – and they're armed with a war chest of resources ready to deploy boots on the ground, send last-minute funds, and turn out every last voter to the polls. It’s why we’re urgently asking grassroots Democrats like you to chip in whatever you can now so we can fund special elections like these. So please: Donate $7 right now so state Democrats can win elections in states like Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and across the country >> Thank you,
DLCC Special Elections Team

This past Christmas was one of the coldest on record, and that was just the beginning of winter. As we stock up and build our fires here at home, we cannot forget the troops risking their lives in some of the world's coldest, most remote places. And as the National Guard has been activated to help weather the storm approaching much of the country, we cannot forget the troops risking their lives on the home front as well — all to keep us safe.
That's why we're asking via email and SMS for at least 50,000 military supporters to sign the card for our troops before tomorrow’s goal deadline showing our troops that folks back home appreciate them is the least we can do, and we are counting on you to show your appreciation today:
Will you please add your name now to show your gratitude for troops risking so much in order to defend our country?
We don't know what challenges this winter will bring for our troops, from more weather emergencies at home to additional needs in Eastern Europe due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. But we do know our troops are going to be there to defend our country no matter what — and it's up to us to thank them for their courageous service.
Please, before our deadline, will you add your name to thank our troops for their incredible service and sacrifice?
Thank you for standing with our troops through thick and thin,
The USO
ON FEBRUARY 21st: New Hampshire Democratic incumbent Chuck Grassie will face off against extremist Republican David Walker in an ultra-competitive special election for a seat in the NH House after their November match-up ended in a 970-970 tie.
The stakes for this election are sky-high. Here’s all you need to know about Republican candidate David Walker:
- Walker was given the highest recommendation of an extreme anti-abortion group last year – he could be another vote for dangerous abortion bans with no exceptions.
- He won’t help address the climate crisis – already stating his opposition to the “war on fossil fuels.”
- In short, he would bolster a razor-thin GOP majority that’s ready to pursue extreme policies in New Hampshire.
This race will be extremely close – when we tell you chipping in just $7 could mean the difference between a Democratic victory or loss, we mean it.
That’s why we’re counting on Democrats like you to power our work and help us reach every voter in close races like these.
Will you chip in $7, $25 or anything you can spare right now to give state Democrats the resources they need to defeat their extremist opponents in special elections across the country? Remember, any amount you can give will be TRIPLE-MATCHED and help set Democrats on a path to victory.
| If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Republicans control the New Hampshire House by an ultra-thin margin – but if David Walker wins this seat, his anti-abortion positions could pave the way for Republicans to further restrict abortion rights in the state. We can’t let that happen.
We know that with enough time, energy, and investment, we can WIN in races like these – electing pro-abortion rights candidates who will further our Democratic agenda and protect our rights in states like New Hampshire. But it’ll take the full support of this grassroots movement to power us to victory.
Before you close out of this email, rush in a TRIPLE-MATCHED donation to support state Democrats in special elections in New Hampshire and across the country?
Let’s do this!

 With the help of you and this grassroots team, we made history last November – flipping four chambers, adding three new Democratic trifectas, and defending every single majority. But we can’t take our foot off the gas now – the stakes are too high. State Democrats are facing four ultra-competitive, high-stakes special elections next month – some of which are vital for Democratic control – and the Virginia House and Senate are in play this November. Electing Democratic leaders who will support President Biden’s agenda in statehouses across the country is critical to building a better future in your community. But it’s up to grassroots supporters like you to own a piece of this fight and give state Democrats the resources they need to go toe-to-toe against their Republican opponents. As an official member, you’ll be at the forefront of the fight to defeat extremist state Republicans, helping elect Democrats who will work to secure a progressive future in your community. So can we count you in? This is one of the last opportunities to become an official DLCC member this month!
