Emily, FIRST: Fundraising slowed WAY down last month — and we got close to lowering our May fundraising goal for a second time. THEN: A generous donor stepped up to match every dollar given to emails like this one until we hit our $500,000 match goal, and Democrats across the country stepped up to help us HIT our May fundraising goal. We couldn’t be more grateful. NOW: The generous donor who pledged to match grassroots donations to the DNC just extended their offer. That means you still have time to have your $7 donation, and your impact, doubled. November probably seems like a long way off. But Emily, the DNC is working around the clock to register new Democratic voters in key states, organize everywhere, and make sure state parties and campaigns have the resources they need to fight and win this November. So, Emily, please don’t let this opportunity go to waste. Chip in $7 right now to have your donation go TWICE as far in the fight to hold Trump accountable, and take back Congress →If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

There’s still time to have your $7 matched to $14 →
Carefully calculated

Hi Emily — it’s Roger Lau, Executive Director at the DNC. I wanted to pop into your inbox with a quick update on our next deadline. Our June mid-month deadline is in just a couple of days, and our team has set a $350,000 goal. We know you probably get a lot of these kinds of emails around this time of month, so let me give you a quick peek behind the curtain: While it might seem like these goals are more-or-less arbitrary, the reality is that they’re very carefully calculated by our team to ensure that we have the resources we need to fund our on-the-ground organizing programs, keep the pressure on the Trump administration through our legal work, and deploy our expert Voter Protection teams to make sure that every American can make their voice heard at the ballot box this November. But here’s the thing, Emily: I’m reaching out because right now, we’re 26% short of our goal with just two days until our deadline. If we want to expand our work at the pace we’ll need to win, we’re going to need a major swell of grassroots support. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, Roger Lau  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support. Emily, we’re building the largest midterm operation in DNC history to take back control of Congress this November, but we need your help right now. Your donation today will help fund our work to register new Democrats in battleground states, organize everywhere, and win everywhere. Text JOIN to 43367 Want to receive fewer emails? Click here.

Let us be clear, Emily:

Emily, here are the five names you need to know right now: Sherrod Brown These Democrats are running in Senate races that Republicans are spending over $250 million to win this year. Let us be clear, Emily: Democrats need to win these five races if we want a chance at taking the Senate majority. But the harsh reality is that these races could come down to just a handful of votes, and Trump and his allies are pummeling these Democrats with millions of dollars’ worth of attack ads in hopes of maintaining their majority in the Senate for the rest of Trump’s presidency. It’s on us to fight back hard if we want to win, and we need all hands on deck. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Attention all Democrats 🇺🇸

Attention all Democrats 🇺🇸 We’re about to ask you to chip in $7 to the DNC today. But first, we’d like to explain why your support is so important right now. And to top it all off, states like Texas, Missouri, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama have been rushing to redistrict their maps to give themselves the upper hand in the House — made all the easier with the help of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. — The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

What happened back in 2016

Emily, At the end of this message, I’m going to ask you to split a $20 donation between my Senate campaign here in North Carolina and the DNC. If you’re ready to give now, you can use this link to donate. Otherwise, please let me explain why your support is so important and what could happen without it. In 2016, I ran for Governor for the first time. I was fighting to unseat Republican Governor Pat McCrory. Nobody had defeated an incumbent Governor in North Carolina for over 150 years, but I knew that we had the team behind us to win and make history. Throughout the race, multiple election experts were saying it was a “Toss Up.” Poll after poll showed me with a slight – or sometimes even large – lead. The momentum was on our side. However, on Election Night, the race was too close to call. I ended that night with a less than 5,000-vote lead – which might sound like a lot but is a razor-thin margin in North Carolina, especially given the 4.6 million ballots cast. It was less than half of 1%. Governor McCrory didn’t concede. He claimed that there had been voter fraud in our state with no evidence to back it up. He called for a recount, and over the next month, he and his team continued spreading baseless conspiracy theories and undermining faith in the democratic process. Yet on Dec. 5, 2016, democracy won. The recount was wrapped up, and the results were in: We had won the race by 10,277 votes. Emily, this current Senate race is starting to remind me a lot of my 2016 race. Just like in 2016, the momentum today appears to be on our side. Experts are calling this race a “Toss Up.” Even though President Trump carried North Carolina each of the three times he ran. Even the experts are saying that this is the best chance for Democrats to flip a Republican-held seat in the country. Here’s what worries me… We could have just as easily lost that race in 2016. Despite all of the winds blowing in our favor, we still only won by 10,277 votes – just 0.22%. That’s why we simply cannot take our foot off the gas. We cannot look at the polls and the predictions and think for a second that we have this in the bag. We cannot give our Republican opponent or the right-wing super PACs supporting him an inch. I won in 2016 – in the same election that President Trump first won the presidency – only because of grassroots support from people like you. That’s how I plan to win again, but I need you with me.
