A new kind of Democrat that needs to be on your radar

I've seen a lot of Democrats. But Mallory McMorrow, who recently announced her Senate campaign in Michigan, is something else. And I need you to help her come out of the gates swinging. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Here's the deal –

I've known my good friend Mallory for a while now. She made waves back in 2022 with a viral speech—and let me tell you something: I've been in this business a long time, and that was one of the best political moments I've ever seen.

She stood up on the Senate floor, called out the absolute garbage coming from the far-right, and did not flinch. She told the truth. With fire. With heart. And people listened.

Hell I told everyone I'd show that speech as an instruction manual, and I meant it.

That's the kind of leadership we need right now.

So when I tell you Mallory's a fighter, I damn well mean it. She flipped a Republican state Senate seat that nobody thought was winnable. Then she helped flip the entire chamber for the first time in 40 years.

And now? She's stepping up again — because Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the rest of that billionaire boys club are lighting our democracy on fire. And they'd love nothing more than to take back Michigan while they're at it.

Here's the truth: Michigan might just be the closest swing state this year.

National Republicans are gearing up to spend more than EVER this cycle in Michigan, and if we don't crush our grassroots fundraising, we'll spend the whole campaign playing catch up to their war chest.

If Mallory's going to fight back — and win — we've gotta get her campaign off to a hell of a start.

So I'm asking — will you rush a donation right now to help my friend Mallory crush her fundraising goals and show the GOP we're not messing around?

Let's go win this thing.

We cannot afford to miss this goal.

I know it’s late -- but I had to send just one more message before the end of the night.

I reviewed my final finance update for April. We are on track to miss our end-of-month fundraising deadline since Team Extreme's massive $35 MILLION fundraiser.

Since you’re one of the DCCC's best grassroots supporters in your area, I just had to reach out one last time to see if you could chip in and help close the gap.

We cannot afford to miss this goal.

If we let MAGA billionaires outraise and outspend us across the board, we could lose our shot to win back the House.

So please, chip in $4 -- or anything you can spare -- to the DCCC before it's too late. With only 3 hours to go until the deadline, we will miss our end-of-month fundraising goal unless grassroots Democrats rush in support.

Re: The message from Attorney General Holder

Pamela, did you see this note from A.G. Holder?

He lays out threats we're facing to our democracy — from the attempted election theft in North Carolina to a voter suppression bill working its way through Congress — and how the All On The Line campaign is fighting back.

Your support helps make this work possible, and we still need to hit our April fundraising goal by midnight as we continue mapping out plans for the year ahead. The funds we raise will make a powerful statement about the strength of our movement.

About the power of a grassroots team. About the progress we can make when each of us gets into the fight.

Make a donation to All on the Line to power the fight for fair elections with fair maps, and help protect our democracy.

From: Eric H. Holder, Jr.

Subject: An outright attempt to steal an election

Team, democracy is under attack in North Carolina.

The failed candidate in last November's state supreme court race has sued to try to throw out enough legally valid ballots to overturn his loss. And a new ruling greenlights his request to disenfranchise military personnel and overseas citizens.

Let's be clear: This decision abandons the judiciary's most basic role, to protect the rights of the people, and sanctions an outright attempt to steal an election.

This alarming development is a stark, present-day example of what we've seen throughout our nation's history: far-right leaders going to extraordinary lengths to bypass democratic principles — all in their relentless pursuit of power.

Whether it's through onerous voting requirements, partisan gerrymanders, or attempting to use courts to invalidate legitimate election results, the goal is the same — to undermine the fundamental right of Americans to have their voices heard.

But team, we are not powerless observers. Our grassroots movement is working across the country to secure fairness in our democracy and ensure every American has an equal say in our government. And when we work together, we can make it happen.

That's why today, I'm personally asking you to make a donation to All On The Line to power the movement for fair maps in the months and years ahead.

It continues to be the case that there is no "off year" in the fight for fair electoral maps — the work we do in 2025 will be critical to advancing the fight for our democracy in 2026, 2028, and beyond:

• Our affiliate, the National Redistricting Foundation, is actively involved in court cases that could affect the makeup of up to nine congressional districts — where we must make sure voters are fairly represented.

• We're preparing to stop potential efforts by partisan actors to steal more congressional seats through extreme gerrymandering — including in Ohio, where leaders will draw new congressional maps this year.

• And while partisan actors try to overturn an election in what one state supreme court justice said could be called a "bloodless coup," we're mobilizing grassroots activists in North Carolina and around the country to fight for fair elections and fair maps.

We need you with us every step of the way. Will you make a donation to All On The Line today?

Sincerely,

Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States

$5 MILLION to stop us…

THIS IS HUGE: 400% MATCH!

DONATIONS NOW 4X-MATCHED

MAGA Mike Johnson rushed $5 MILLION to rescue his vulnerable Republicans and CRUSH our movement to take back the House.

How we respond at this moment could make or break our chances to flip the House blue.

Top Democrats know this all too well. That's why they've agreed to QUADRUPLE MATCH all grassroots donations until midnight. Can we count on your urgent $4?

CHIP IN NOW >>

If we let MAGA Republicans and their shady mega-donors buy themselves another term in the majority, we'll always regret it.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries is doing everything he can to END the Trump Trifecta -- he's working day and night to help defeat Trump’s extreme agenda and protect our hard fought progress RIGHT NOW.

But Hakeem can't flip the House alone. He's counting on us.

Control of the House, ending TOTAL GOP control, and stopping Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans -- it's all on the line.

A quadruple match like this only happens when the stakes are higher than EVER.

Top Democrats answered our call to action and agreed to QUADRUPLE-MATCH all gifts for grassroots Democrats until MIDNIGHT tonight. Will you chip in a 400%-MATCHED $4 gift before midnight to help take back the House?
