We’ll be blunt

We're heading into what's known as the "summer slump," the time in the cycle when fundraising slows dramatically. But we still have elections to win and investments to make.

With the help of donations from grassroots supporters this year, we've made a lot of progress. Our team has secured 18 wins for state Democrats in special elections. Now, we're gearing up to win even more races in key states like New Hampshire.
