Mark your calendar, Emily: We have less than six months until Election Day. Winning back Congress this year will require around-the-clock work and a massive amount of resources. And we can’t do it alone. Will you chip in $7 to strengthen our fight? Across the country, the DNC is hiring organizers who will register tens of thousands of new Democrats in battleground states. We’re investing in state parties, we’re fighting to protect voting rights in court, and we’re building the largest midterm operation in DNC history. This year, we have a real chance to flip the House and the Senate and put a massive check on the Trump administration. We’ve seen Democrats in every corner of the country show up at the polls in record numbers already this year. We’re not slowing down. In fact, we’re scaling up. The DNC provides critical support to campaigns and state parties who are working to create a better future for all Americans, not just the top 1%. We can't become complacent. Because to win anywhere, we have to organize everywhere. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Emily, If you’re on other email lists, you probably receive panicked emails from PACs and politicians trying to scare you into donating. That’s especially true right now, with the end-of-month deadline just around the corner and November’s midterm elections rapidly approaching. Maybe you’re already seeing your inbox flooded with requests for donations. But here’s what we believe, Emily:
So here’s the truth: The DNC is the only organization working around the clock, every single year, to distribute funds and resources to all 50 state parties and the races that need it most. We have a team of experts on staff who spend their days strategizing to help Democrats fight back, organize, and win elections. We set our fundraising goals thoughtfully and intentionally to ensure that we have the resources we need to continue that work, all over the country. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

I’m officially the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia
![]() |
Thank you, Georgia!
After Tuesday’s primary, I am officially the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia.
This race in Georgia is likely to be the most competitive and expensive U.S. Senate race in 2026. I am the *only* endangered Democratic incumbent U.S. Senator in the midterms. Republicans are preparing to unleash massive resources attacking me and this seat.
But our victory will be powered once again by overwhelming grassroots support.
If you know the stakes and how important your support is — and if you are ready to split a donation to help start the general election in the strongest position possible and support Kamala Harris' Fight for the People PAC — please use this link: https://act.kamalaharris.com/go/General-Election
Otherwise, let me tell you a bit about why I ran for Senate — and why this moment is just as urgent.
Before I was elected, I led investigations of corruption and human rights abuses worldwide. We exposed wrongdoing in countries where criticizing the government is dangerous, where whistleblowers and witnesses will only meet in secret, where protest carries the risk of prosecution.
More and more, the atmosphere under Trump has reminded me of those places — places where dissent was silenced by intimidation and where unaccountable elites plunder and trade power for profit with impunity.
I ran for Senate because I saw that Trump’s election endangered our Republic and I was determined to confront him and the corruption that made his rise possible.
And that work isn’t over yet.
This is not a drill and it’s not a bad dream. As citizens, it’s the test of our lifetimes.
So please, I’m humbly asking: Split a contribution between my reelection campaign and Kamala Harris' Fight for the People PAC. Do it today and help us start the general election in the strongest possible position.
We know MAGA’s election playbook: Lie. Enrage. Distract.
And between the Fulton County raid, the executive order attacking voting, and the plotting of the MAGA loyalists on our state election board...they've made their plans very clear.
But we’ve beaten them before — right here in Georgia.
In 2021, we defeated an entrenched GOP incumbent by staying on offense and organizing a turnout effort totally unprecedented in its scale and intensity.
This is the next test.
And the best insurance against MAGA’s dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.
My team is preparing a larger-than-ever-before effort to get out the vote and defend voting rights.
That work is not easy or cheap. We have to work relentlessly through Election Day, and we need the resources to reach every single voter.
The average donation to this campaign is around $30. Many give less. Some give more. What matters is that we show strength in numbers — and that we show it now.
Thank you so much.

Emily, $7. That’s the contribution we’re asking you to make to renew your 2026 DNC Membership today. $7 to help us mobilize voters across the country and train the next generation of organizers to help us elect Democrats this year, in 2028, and beyond. $7 to help us continue investing in state Democratic parties and ensure that Democratic candidates from the school board, to state legislatures, to Congress have the resources they need to defeat their MAGA opponents. $7 to give Democrats the resources to fight back against the gerrymandered maps that Republicans in Florida and Tennessee just passed. Emily, our opponents aren’t waiting to pitch in and get involved. We can’t sit back and watch while Republicans continue funneling dark money into attack ads and into Trump-backed candidates. So, we’re asking: Can you chip in $7 to the DNC today to support our work and help us fight to elect Democrats at every level of government this November?If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

A Message from DNC Chair Ken Martin on the DNC’s 2024 After Action Report
![]() |
|
Emily, I was elected Chair of the Democratic National Committee three months after one of the most painful and consequential election losses for Democrats in modern history. It was a punch to the gut, and people were pissed off. How, we all asked, could Democrats have lost to Donald Trump again? How did we blow through billions of dollars? And where do we go from here? When I commissioned a comprehensive review of the 2024 election, I started a process to answer those questions while interrogating where our party has systemically and historically fallen short. I didn’t want that process led by anybody directly tied to the 2024 cycle – either the campaign or the consultants involved – and I did not want to put my own thumb on the scale for what might be produced. What I did ask for were actionable takeaways for the future. I wanted real, in-depth, specific recommendations to improve our allocation of resources, tech, data, organizing, media strategy, and more. I chose someone who I thought could produce this type of report. When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime. Not even close. And because no source material was provided, fixing it would have meant starting over, from the beginning – every conversation, every interview, every data set. At the time, Democrats had just come off a series of massive wins in November’s off-year elections, and midterm season was about to start. In December, I announced we would shelve this report, and I meant what I said at the time – that I didn’t think dwelling on 2024 or looking backwards so late in the game helped us to win elections. And at the end of the day, winning elections is my job. In short, I didn’t want to create a distraction. Ironically, in doing so, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. And for that, I sincerely apologize. I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards. I don’t endorse what’s in this report, or what’s left out of it. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on it. But transparency is paramount. So, today I am releasing the report as I received it – in its entirety, unedited and unabridged – with annotations for claims that couldn’t be verified. In less than six months, we have midterm elections. In two years, a presidential election. I agree with folks who have said we have to learn from the past to win the future. Decades into my political career, and now having served as DNC Chair for a year and a half, there are clear lessons that I have zeroed in on, deeply believe our Party must address, and can attest we are already implementing in our work as we look ahead to this election cycle and beyond:
You’ll find several of these insights reflected in the DNC Playbook for 2026, a guide for state parties and coordinated campaigns. It includes resources for campaign staffers, case studies on innovations from the last cycle that we can build on, and best practices to organize key constituencies whose support we must win back in 2026, 2028, and beyond. People need to be able to trust the Democratic Party again. Trust is critical, because I also ran for Chair as a reformer – not a protector of the establishment or the status quo. I wasn’t supported by establishment politicians or the billionaire class. I was supported by the grassroots – by activists, by organizers, by labor, and by party leaders. After 2016, I authored the superdelegate reform to ensure that voters, and not insiders, would choose our party’s presidential nominee. I passed a primary neutrality policy to outlaw even the appearance of party favoritism towards one candidate or another, ensuring that primary voters – not political bosses in a back room – choose our candidates. I gave up power as Chair to empower DNC members to elect their own representatives to our most powerful committees, and have ensured that our committees reflect the great diversity of our party by giving seats to our caucuses, as well. I authored the first-ever DNC resolution to pass that condemns the role of dark money in primaries, and I have put in place a reform task force to ban “dark money” in our Democratic Party presidential primary nominating process. As Chair, I am prioritizing the grassroots of our party, and fighting to restore our working-class roots as we take back districts across the country that too many have written off. We are winning elections, we are changing this party for the better, and now we need to repair trust. I hope this is a start.
