Pamela, do you know someone who hasn’t voted yet? Do you know someone who maaaaaaybe hasn’t voted yet? If so, don’t hesitate. Don’t worry about whether you’re pestering them. Give them the nudge they need to get off their keisters and get to the polls. Send them this link so they can find out where to vote and make a plan before polls close: iwillvote.com Even if they don’t thank you, we will. Our democracy will too. Once that’s done, if you’ve still got a case of the Election Day jitters, consider putting your money where your anxiety is. Invest in our fight for democracy, because our work doesn’t end when the polls close. (In fact, it’s bound to get even more urgent.) It’s easy to imagine the worst-case scenarios and the shady tactics Republicans could engage in for the next few days and weeks. They might refuse to admit defeat. They might drag out costly recount battles. And they’re very likely to start trying to pass new gerrymanders right away — especially in lame-duck sessions when they are on the verge of losing power. We can’t just wait and worry. We need to be ready to push back against the attacks on democracy we know are looming, even if we don’t know exactly where they’ll take place. But the midterm elections have depleted our budgets. We’ve gone all out fighting to help elect over 300 Democracy Defenders today, and we can’t afford to be caught off-guard for what’s coming tomorrow. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our democracy as a member of this movement. We’ll be back in touch as we learn more about tonight’s big races! - Team NDRC

What we need to clinch victory
→ A new poll just showed that 7% of Michiganders are *still* undecided on who they’re voting for between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers.
We need to reach every last one of these undecided voters, and this is the final opportunity to do it.
We’re showing up everywhere. Our field team is spreading Abdul’s message far and wide by knocking on doors, making calls, texting, and canvassing on college campuses.
Folks, the outcome of this election is going to come down to how many undecided voters we’re able to reach before polls close tomorrow — and this work is powered 100% by people like you.
Abdul doesn’t take a dime from corporate PACs or lobbyists, so when we say every dollar counts, we mean it.
If you've saved your payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation to Abdul El-Sayed and State Democrats Committee will process instantly:
Your donation today will make sure our volunteers and organizers have the resources to knock on thousands of doors so we can elect Abdul to the Senate and clinch this victory tomorrow night.
Thank you,
Team Abdul
Mike Rogers Earned $420,000 From Firm Now Helping Hegseth Plan Iran War‘s Next Phase
Mike Rogers Earned $420,000 From Firm Now Helping Hegseth Plan Iran War‘s Next PhaseAfter leaving Congress, Mike Rogers received lucrative board fees from MITRE, a consultancy tapped by Pete Hegseth to help plan the future of warfare.
Story by Tom Perkins Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, earned over $420,000 during his tenure as a board member for a consultancy that is now helping Pete Hegseth plan the next phase of the disastrous Iran war, according to tax filings. The MITRE Corporation is coordinating the controversial Project Meridian: “The Future of Warfare,” which is bringing together weapons manufacturers and tech leaders like Elon Musk to map out the future of U.S. warfare in Iran and beyond. Some have raised questions over conflicts of interest among those leading the project. Rogers, an establishment war hawk and former member of Congress, served on MITRE’s board of trustees, including a stint as its chair, for six years through 2023. He left as he launched his first campaign for U.S. Senate during the 2024 election. The company’s CEO said Rogers was brought on for his “vast national security expertise,” and IRS records detail his annual earnings. Rogers’ support for the operation in Iran has been a liability throughout the race against his opponent, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “People say, well, ‘What date is it going to end?’ It shouldn’t be a date. It should be conditional,” Rogers told a right wing podcast host in March. “This is why Americans need to stop for a minute, come together and say, ‘let’s get this done, get it done right.’” The war is among the drivers of stubborn, ongoing inflation and high gas prices, and polls show as many as 67% of Michigan voters disapprove of it. El-Sayed has hammered Rogers over his support for endless wars, and Rogers in recent weeks waffled on the operation in Iran, telling Fox News that “we need to start wrapping it down.” The El-Sayed and Rogers campaigns did not respond to requests for comment. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sept. 30 announced the MITRE-led Project Meridian as “an effort led by America’s best minds to study the future of warfare.” Hegseth named Musk, former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Palmer Luckey, founder of defense technology company Anduril Industries, as top officials. Former defense officials noted to NPR that the project’s leaders could guide the U.S. to build more space assets or rely more on drones that Musk’s and Luckey’s companies produce, while making fewer tanks or other military equipment that they do not make. Musk is among Rogers’ largest supporters, backing him via the America PAC that Musk finances. “There are a lot of issues impacting this race, but everyone understands that the Iran war is a primary reason for the high cost of gasoline and diesel,” said Bernie Porn, a Michigan pollster who found El-Sayed with a small lead over Rogers in late August. “And that is why you see states like Iowa and Kansas in play, so this is one more thing to tie Rogers to support for the Iran war.” Tom Perkins is a freelance reporter in Detroit who covers the antiwar movement locally and nationally.
