There’s a lot at stake for Governor in Louisiana. Do you believe locking up people longer will make us safer? Should Louisiana begin State executions again? Can you live on $7.25 an hour? (do you think other families can?) Should we roll back medicaid expansion? Do voting rights matter? Should we fully fund early childhood education?

I’m Dr. Shawn Wilson. I’m in a very competitive race for Governor of Louisiana, and there’s a lot at stake.

Besides over-incarceration and State executions, divisive and hateful policies like banning books, banning African-American history, and Don’t Say Gay are all on the line this election. Many of these discriminatory policies already passed the Louisiana Legislature—that’s why our Governor’s veto pen is the last stand.

This race is crucial – not just for Louisiana, but for the entire country. How many of you posted messages of empathy to social media after devastating policies passed in Georgia, Florida, and elsewhere? This is your opportunity to get involved in a race worth winning.

With your support, we can protect recent gains like criminal justice reform and focus on the true work ahead: to uplift our communities and enact policies that make us safer, smarter, healthier, and wealthier. Will you split a contribution of $100 between my campaign and The Collective PAC to help us fight our collective future?

Born and raised in New Orleans Louisiana, I understand the challenges that our state faces, and I’ve dedicated my life to addressing them. As a civil servant, I’ve worked tirelessly over 25 years within both Democratic and Republican administrations to improve infrastructure, transportation, and overall quality of life. Now, driven by a deep commitment to making this state a better place for everyone, I’m running for Governor.

That’s why I’m asking you to chip in today to become a founding donor of my campaign. We’ve got some great ads cut — now help us get air time. We’re going to need unprecedented grassroots support to win this race and I’m counting on you to join our team. Please, chip in $100 or whatever you can to help us win Louisiana.

UPDATE: Control of Pennsylvania’s House will be decided on TUESDAY →

Right now, the PA House is TIED, and the consequences of Tuesday's special election go far beyond Pennsylvania.

The Republican candidate is a QAnon conspiracy theorist and Jan. 6th insurrectionist who could erode trust in government, spread misinformation, and could be a dangerous voice in the state legislature.

That’s not who we want to see elected to our state legislatures. If you agree, will you pitch in to help stop extremists in Pennsylvania and beyond?

Chip in $7 to support the DLCC – the only party committee devoted to electing state Democrats. With exactly two days before this race and the Pennsylvania House TIED, every donation, every voice, and every vote will make an impact.

If we lose this race, we wouldn’t just lose a seat. We’d lose our hard-won majority in the PA House and could risk rolling back LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, gun safety measures, and more.

The clock is ticking, and we only have less than 36 hours before polls close. We cannot let extreme Republicans take back Pennsylvania.

Grassroots donations have propelled our movement, and now, we're at a pivotal moment: Can you donate $7 for the first time this year? Your donation could be the deciding factor in this neck-and-neck race.

Thank you,

Team DLCC

Voters will start to cast their ballots in Virginia next week – and Democrats are laser-focused on flipping the VA House and defending our Senate majority.

These five seats are toss-up races where the battle could be won or lost:

DistrictDemocratic Candidate
HD-97Michael Feggans
HD-21Joshua Thomas
HD-82Kimberly Pope Adams
SD-24Monty Mason
SD-31Russet Perry

Losing even one race could make the difference between handing the GOP total control of state government, and preventing anti-LGBTQ+ laws, abortion bans, and anti-democratic legislation that threatens our democracy.

The impact of Virginia’s elections will be felt nationwide. Every seat we lose is a step backward for state Democrats. Will you rush $7 to elect Democrats to these vital seats and across the country?
