Hi Jason, it’s Lorenza Ramirez, the DNC’s National Organizing Director. I wanted to pop in and give you a brief update about When We Count, our largest voter registration program in DNC history. You’ve probably heard this from us before, but Democrats have lost a lot of ground in the last few years when it comes to voter registration. Meanwhile, Republicans have registered 2.4 million voters. This year, we’re making it a priority to flip the script. When We Count is how we’re doing it. I’m on the ground in Phoenix, AZ right now, onboarding our first cohort of fellows. We’re working to register over 250,000 new Democratic voters in key battleground states ahead of the midterm elections in November, and train the next generation of Democratic organizers to fight and win in their own communities. Already this year, we’re seeing Democratic voters show up in a big way — in the last few months, states like Texas and Illinois have seen record-breaking voter turnout at the ballot box. At the DNC, we’re seeing that as proof that when we reach voters, they show up. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you so much, Lorenza  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support.

Narrowing the gap

Jason, We’re going to try something a little different today. Is there anything we can say to earn your support before our April FEC deadline? What if we told you that this week, Team DNC was out knocking doors in Virginia to reach voters ahead of a critical special election? We know that reaching voters on the ground, in their communities is what it takes to win. And every victory we have leading up to the midterms, including our victory in VA this week, is proof of that. What if we reminded you that the DNC is the only organization working year-round to elect Democrats from every state at every level of government? That’s why reaching as many grassroots supporters as possible is so critical leading up to November. Finally, what if we told you that the closer we get to the midterms, the more dark money Republicans will be funneling into attack ads against Democrats? If we’re able to narrow the cash advantage that Republicans have, we’ll show Trump and his cronies that Democrats are coming for their majority in November, and we’re playing to win.

If I can't be myself and stick to my values, then what is the point of any of it?
My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
When I first ran for office, some people who fashion themselves "political strategists" or "experts" said, "You shouldn't do your full last name. Having two last names is weird."
They even said, "What are people gonna call you?" 😂
I said no. If I can't run as myself, then I don't want to run at all. If I can't be myself and stick to my values, then what is the point of any of it?
And you know what, I won my race. People figured out how to say my name, and they gave me a name.
I say this because I want you to have the courage to listen to your gut — even when the experts are telling you that what is “smart” is not in alignment with what you think is right in your integrity.
With gratitude,
Alexandria
Alexandria can’t self-fund her campaign by writing a big check, and she doesn't do any donor call-time or exclusive fundraising events.

Here are four names you need to know, Jason: Sherrod Brown. These are the names of Democrats whose Senate races are statistically tied. There is no path to reclaiming the Senate majority without winning these races. But now, alarm bells are ringing in Sherrod Brown’s race in Ohio, because one of the top Republican super PACs just unveiled their $79 million plan to defeat Sherrod. And that’s just one super PAC. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. The truth is, all of these Senate races and others could come down to a handful of votes. Trump and his allies are hammering Democrats in states like these with attack ads. It’s on all of us to help them fight back. With your help today, we will.
