Hello Writers,
Each month you all continue to break records! In July, we reached over 19,000 voters - the most ever! This was nearly double what we wrote in June - amazing! 100,000 voters is within reach! Let's keep it going and help Dems take control of the both the House and the Senate in November!
Excitement around our new nominee, VP Kamala Harris, has added to our volunteer energy and we are grateful for each of you! This month, we are adding a new California House candidate and an additional weekly group postcarding event. As we write to win, please sign up for addresses or packets and join the work to get back our trifecta!
Note that postcarding campaigns are turning over quickly due to demand. You can anticipate frequent changes in candidates as we partner with Activate America to target the most competitive House and Senate races which most need postcards sent to their voters. Please check our website regularly for updates to our campaigns!
Senate - Available for online requests only - Currently, we are writing to support Montana incumbent Jon Tester and his work to bring high speed internet to his state through the Infrastructure Act. Democrats must win this state to keep control of the Senate. Tester is asking for out-of-state support to boost his campaign. Volunteers can make a huge impact in this small population state!
House District CA-13 - Available for online requests only - We are continuing our focus on this Central Valley seat which Dems lost by just 564 votes in 2022. Our script supports our candidate Adam Gray with a message highlighting the Inflation Reduction Act and lowering the costs of prescription drugs and insulin. This area has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the nation. The road to the House runs right through the Central Valley.
House District CA-47 - Available for packet requests only - Although Katie Porter won this district narrowly in 2022, she opted to run for the Senate this year, creating an open seat. It is a top target for Republicans and rated a toss-up. We are excited for an opportunity to support the Democratic candidate, Dave Min. He out-raised his primary opponent this year, but as a new face, needs our help to reach voters. This is a seat we must hold to regain control of the House!
The mailing deadline for all campaigns is September 1st.
