I want to clear things up, Jason:

"What will you do with the money if I donate?" I've been at the DNC for a while now, and when I get the chance to talk to supporters, this is often one of the first things I'm asked. It's a fair question, Jason! If you've had this question on your mind, I want to give you a look into what the DNC is doing -- right now -- to support Democratic campaigns and win elections. If you already know what the DNC is doing and where your money is going, I'd really appreciate it if you'd chip in $7 to support our critical work. If you want more information, that's what I'm here for. Keep reading: Every State Party; Every Race; Every Year: The DNC is the only party committee responsible for electing Democrats from local office to the Oval Office. We do that by sending resources to state parties, who then can use what we send them to invest in local elections like school board and state legislative seats. They can also make long-term investments in vital programs like voter protection services or hire more staff. Here's a recent example: We sent the Wisconsin Democratic Party resources to help win last month's contentious Supreme Court election and seats up and down the ballot. Justice-Elect Janet Protasiewicz won by a whopping 11-points. Infrastructure Is Not Just a Buzzword: We mention "electoral infrastructure" a lot in these kinds of emails, but let's dive into exactly what that means. Infrastructure is everything from dollars and staff, to data and tech tools, access to our continuously updated and ever-growing voter file, voter protection, and so much more. Everything and anything that goes into making a campaign run is infrastructure. Thanks to the DNC's infrastructure (and folks like you who helped us build it), campaigns can easily prepare for that transition and get straight to work. If campaigns had to do all of this on their own, their work to win votes would be delayed, and time is a precious resource for campaigns. The DNC wants to make sure that candidates are doing what they do best -- talking to voters and getting their message out there. I know that was a lot of writing, Jason. But I'm giving you all this information because we need dedicated supporters like you to know that your hard earned money is really making a difference. If you're able to, chip in $7 to support all of the things I just mentioned and more. The DNC works to win races up and down the ballot every year -- we can do that thanks to the support of grassroots donors pitching in what they can.
