Emily, Over the last few months, you probably received countless emails from organizations like ours explaining the stakes of last week's elections and asking you to give your time or a donation to support their cause. Maybe you even heard from canvassers knocking on your door or volunteers calling about elections near you. First, we want to say thank you for sticking with us through the uptick in outreach. Second, we hope you'll let us explain why those emails mattered, how support from people like you helped deliver big wins last week, and what that means for the road ahead. In 2025, while billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeffrey Yass spent millions in opposition to Democratic candidates, the DNC invested in every single state Democratic Party as a part of our initiative to organize everywhere, so we can win anywhere. These aren't investments in any one single candidate — these are investments in the people. As the organization best positioned to distribute resources where and when they're needed most, much of that money went directly toward recruiting hundreds of thousands of volunteers, who then contacted millions of voters, in states across the country. That strategy paid off. Voters showed up. This work was only possible through the support of grassroots supporters like you. To take back Congress in 2026, we'll need to execute this strategy again, on an even bigger scale. Will you consider a $7 donation to the DNC today to help?

  | Emily, it's been a big week for Democrats in every corner of the country. Just look at these states: - In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger was elected the first woman governor of the Commonwealth with over 57 percent of the vote.
- In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill won her race for governor with more than 56 percent of the vote.
- In New York City, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor with over a million votes.
- In Pennsylvania, voters chose to retain three State Supreme Court Justices, with each receiving more than 61 percent of the vote.
- In California, voters approved Prop 50 with nearly 64 percent of the vote.
No, none of these stats are a typo. In states and cities nationwide, Democrats dominated in races up and down the ballot. On Tuesday night, voters sent a clear message to Trump and his allies: We're done with your attacks on our democracy and our economy, and we're coming for Congress next. At the DNC, we've spent 2025 organizing across the country, we've invested millions in state Democratic parties, and we've talked to voters in the bluest of blue and the reddest of red districts to make sure they are hearing Democrats' message. But here's the truth: The work is just beginning. If we want to win back Congress next year and the White House in 2028, we can't slow down now. Emily, the work we did this year was only possible with the help of grassroots supporters just like you. If you're fired up and ready to keep this momentum going, please consider giving $7 to the DNC today → If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

| Emily, I'm Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, and I'm the final vote Democrats need to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. But it's been nearly seven weeks since I was elected to Congress. This is the longest a representative has ever waited to be sworn in after winning a special election. We already know that Trump has lied about the files, and Democrats are so close to getting to the bottom of it. But we need your help to keep the pressure up. That starts with folks like you splitting a contribution between my campaign and the DNC to show Republicans that we will release the files, uncover their corruption, and kick them out of power in 2026. So please, join your fellow Democrats and split a contribution of whatever you can afford today: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between Adelita Grijalva and the Democratic National Committee instantly: Let's get to the bottom of this. Thank you, Adelita Adelita Grijalva

| Emily, For seven weeks, we have stood firm and spoken with one voice: we must save health care for millions of Americans. Donald Trump has made it impossible for families to make ends meet, forcing them to choose between putting food on the table or paying their medical bills. The last thing Americans can afford is their health insurance premiums doubling overnight. Let me be crystal clear: Donald Trump and the Republican Party that orchestrated this betrayal of the American people are responsible for the men, women, and children who will suffer because they cannot get the health care they need to survive. These are the same people who rushed to vote for tax breaks for billionaires. It is clear whose side they are on. As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans' health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote. The voters will never forget the day Trump turned his back on them so he could focus on building his gilded ballroom. Thank you, Ken Ken Martin

| Emily, I am so honored to be the governor-elect for the great state of New Jersey. But I didn't do it alone. I want to thank everyone who played a part in this victory — I wouldn't be here without this incredible grassroots team who chipped in, volunteered, and voted, as well as my team, my family, and my running mate, Dr. Dale Caldwell. New Jersey has sent a message that will be heard across the country, and the world. As you might imagine, I've been reflecting a lot on what that message is, and I keep coming back to New Jersey's state motto: Liberty and Prosperity. As we see our government at the federal level backing away from liberty, we here in New Jersey are bound to fight for a different future for our children. But liberty alone isn't good enough if the government makes it impossible for you to feed your family, or get a good education, or a good job. That doesn't seem like too much to ask, but right now, all of it seems at risk. Governors have never mattered more. I have heard from thousands of New Jerseyans about liberty and prosperity. And I intend to deliver. I'm going to take care of your kids, drive down your costs, and deliver a government that doesn't just manage problems, it solves them. I'm going to build on New Jersey's great legacy of innovation that changes the world, relentless advocacy for a better future, and a stubborn refusal to bow down to kings for 250 years running. That's the course we're charting for the entire nation, and if you're reading this email, you were a part of it. Now, it's up to us to keep charting that course forward. If you can, I hope you'll consider contributing to the DNC today to help elect more Democrats across the country. Thank you for loving this country and this state enough to fight for it. Sincerely, Mikie Sherrill

| An update for Democrats nationwide Emily, please don't skip this 1-minute read. This week, Democrats in every corner of the country won or overperformed up and down the ballot, with high voter turnout across the map. If one thing is crystal clear this week, it's that voters are sick and tired of Trump and his allies' billionaire-first agenda and are ready for the tides to turn. In New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Georgia, and in local races nationwide, Americans sent a message to Trump this week: We're fed up with your attacks on our democracy, our economy, and our communities. We're fighting back. And we're winning. At the DNC, we've spent the last year organizing in every single state across the country, hosting town halls where Republicans refuse to, and investing in state Democratic parties to ensure that they have the resources to do this important work across their states. But Emily, the work doesn't stop here — in fact, our fight is only getting started. If continuing the momentum we built this year is important to you, we're asking you to consider donating $7, or whatever you can, to the DNC today.
