Democrats have the wind firmly at our backs, Pat, and that's in no small part thanks to supporters like you.
Last month, this powerful grassroots team came together to not only reach, but blow past our November fundraising goal -- 55,052 dedicated donors chipped in because they believed in our party and chose to invest in 2020 victories. I write to you today grateful, from the bottom of my heart, that you're a member of this party. Thank you.
There have been three Novembers since this president took office, and in every one of those November elections, Democrats have scored decisive victories. But those victories didn't happen on their own. They're the direct result of hard work -- folks chipping in to emails like this one to invest in the strength of the Democratic Party. I'm not exaggerating when I say your support makes a difference. Give me a moment to share some of what this team's donations helped Democrats accomplish to contribute to last month's big wins:
-
The DNC's tech team identified 175,000 voters who'd been purged from the voter file in Kentucky, and remediated in time for the November election. The Kentucky Democratic Party filed suit that this inactive list would have a "chilling" impact on voters, and in October, a judge ruled in favor of the party and ordered the voters reinstated to the active roll.
-
Our party supported 20,000 polling lookups on IWillVote.com across states with statewide elections. We coordinated with state parties to identify thousands of polling locations, and then helped mobilize voters to the polls and provide crucial get-out-the-vote efforts.
-
Our party also supported voter protection teams with our voter protection tool in seven states. Voter protection directors, hotline workers, and voter councils were able to monitor elections and report, escalate, and resolve voter suppression incidents in real time, working to ensure every vote was counted.
This is exactly the type of vital work we need to be doing ahead of 2020 if we're going to defeat Donald Trump and his GOP allies everywhere, Pat. And it's the type of work our party can only continue to do as long as we hit our fundraising goals like we did yesterday.
We only have 31 days until the official start of 2020, which means the window of time we have to make early investments in our party is closing fast. Early support will make a tremendous difference in the programs and tools we'll be able to hand to our future presidential nominee and Democrats nationwide.
We were able to hit our goal last month, but December will be even tougher, and Democrats everywhere are counting on you to get into the arena and fight for our candidates and our values as hard as you possibly can. Our records show that you didn't get a chance to contribute last month, but it isn't too late. Will you be the first person from your area to donate in December? This is make-or-break.
Donate $7 to the DNC to provide the critical early support Democrats need to win. Any amount you're able to give today will make an even bigger impact now than that same amount would right before Election Day.
I'm so thankful to have you on this team, Pat. Let's do this!

P.S. Last month, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Virginia delivered a devastating warning to Donald Trump's Republican Party. Democrats are competing and winning in every corner of the country -- and that's because of you, Pat. Less than a year before the 2020 election, the momentum is with us and shows no sign of slowing down. Donate $7 to the Democratic Party today to build the strong DNC it will take to elect Democrats from the statehouse to the White House next November. Your donation before this year is out will make a crucial early impact on 2020 races up and down the ticket.
