You deserve the truth, Emily

The highest-stakes deadline of the year for this program…

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Emily, We’re about to ask you to make your first donation of 2026 to the DNC — but first, we hope you’ll give us a chance to explain why we’re coming to you with this urgency, because you deserve the truth: Here’s what’s happening: Trump tried — and failed — to get the Supreme Court to let him undermine mail-in voting. He demanded that Republicans gerrymander congressional maps across the country. His administration publicly talks about the possibility of ICE agents in polling places. And he had his administration censor interviews with a Democrat to keep Americans from hearing the truth about his disastrous second term in office. You can see where this is going. Trump wants to rig this election and to make people fear opposing him. He wants to intimidate us into silence as he changes rules in his favor. He and his allies are counting on Democrats like you to completely give up. We can’t let that happen. That’s why this month is so important. In 12 days, the FEC has its FINAL end-of-quarter fundraising deadline before the midterms. We’ll be legally required to report how much the DNC has raised since June. That number will tell a story. A flood of contributions will tell a good one: that Democratic opposition to Trump and his agenda is strong. But a bad FEC report could tell the world that Democratic momentum is slowing at the worst possible time. This is our biggest deadline of the year. So, Emily, we’re humbly asking you: Can you chip in $7 to the DNC today to show Donald Trump that his threats won’t stop you — or thousands of other grassroots Democrats just like you — from fighting back?

A giant flashing warning sign in Iowa

JD Vance is coming to Iowa

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ If you’re wondering why JD Vance is coming to Iowa today, it’s not because he cares about farmers, union workers, veterans, or seniors. Nor is he here to soak up the local culture. National Republicans put him on a plane to my hometown of Council Bluffs with orders to save Iowa’s open Senate seat. I’ll explain why they’re so rattled in just a second. But Vance’s visit will bring a ton of scrutiny to Iowa. Will you split a $20 donation to help my campaign and the DNC show the world that our momentum is unstoppable?? SPLIT $20 National Republicans know how vulnerable Ashley Hinson really is. They’ve been pumping cash into Iowa to keep her lackluster Senate campaign afloat since the start. They know we have the wind at our backs, too. Polls keep showing this open Senate seat is a dead heat. We won our primary by a huge margin. We just earned a Toss-Up ranking from Cook Political Report. Nate Silver ranked our race as the closest Senate race in the nation. This is a once-in-a-generation election that could alter the balance of power in Washington. So it’s no big mystery why Vance is coming here. It’s because his billionaire bosses are terrified that their grip over Iowa is slipping — and with it, their narrow Senate majority. But most of all, they’re terrified that a guy like me — a guy without family connections, from a working-class background, who’s fought and scraped for every ounce of success he’s had — could soon be rolling down the halls of power. Since Vance won’t say this, I will: Iowans deserve so much better than a politician who gets filthy rich while they clip coupons. One thing we know for sure: wherever Vance goes, MAGA money will follow. We’re already facing $55 million in GOP money, and Elon Musk is increasingly targeting this race. Since we don’t take corporate PAC money, I’m counting on you to hit back. Will you rush a split donation of $20 between my campaign and the DNC to fuel our Rapid Response Fund to make sure their last-ditch attempt to buy this seat fails in November and take back the Senate?

Here’s what my team discussed this morning

This was eye-opening: Donald Trump’s super PAC has $400 MILLION in its war chest

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Emily — it’s Roger. My morning meeting just ended, and I wanted to share a few important notes from it. It was eye-opening for me: Emily, I hope this was a helpful update, because my team and I need you to understand the stakes of this election. There’s no path to victory without reaching our fundraising goals, and there’s no reaching our fundraising goals without this grassroots team — and that includes you. So I’m asking you to join us and chip in $7 to the DNC today so we can crush our last end-of-quarter goal and counter the GOP’s attack ads before it’s too late. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Donate $7 Donate $32 Donate $50 Donate $100 Donate $250 Other Amount Thank you so much.

92% of people don't do this...

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Emily, you just did something that 92% of people don’t do — you opened this email. So far this month, only 8% of people have opened emails like this one. We get it: September is busy. Emails aren’t always fun. But you opened this one. That puts you in the top 8% of our most engaged readers as we approach the midterm elections. So here’s the deal: If we report strong fundraising numbers now, we’ll show Trump that Democrats are stepping up en masse to elect Democratic majorities. But if we fall short of our goals, we could be forced to make tough budget decisions. Conservative billionaires are dumping massive amounts of money into Republican campaigns right now. The Democratic Party relies on grassroots supporters like you to keep our movement alive. Emily, you opened this email — you’re already halfway there. So we have to ask: Please chip in $7 to the DNC to help power Democrats to victory up and down the ballot, all across the country. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.
