I want to be transparent with you, Pat: When I came on board the DNC in the wake of the 2016 election, our party felt rudderless.
We had lost an election to the most unfit person to ever run as the nominee of a major party. The DNC had been hacked. Worst of all, we had lost trust among grassroots activists, donors, and our elected leaders and candidates. The new team and I made it our mission to pick up the pieces, analyze what went wrong, and rebuild this organization into the strongest DNC in modern history.
A big part of that mission is the Democratic Unity Fund -- a vitally important initiative to defeating Donald Trump in 2020. The fund, announced by President Obama, serves to provide a major launchpad for the future Democratic nominee and Democrats down the ticket the moment the general election starts. By scaling up critical organizing and data programs early, the DNC can hand the nominee -- not to mention Democrats running for seats nationwide -- the well-resourced operation they'll need to compete with Trump and the GOP's reelection machine. However, as of this evening, we're still dangerously short of our quarterly goal for the Democratic Unity Fund.
We can still get where we need to be before tomorrow's Q1 deadline if 7 more folks from Carrollton make a donation. According to our records, you have yet to make a gift to the Democratic Unity Fund. If you can, please make your first ever $7 contribution directly to the fund to help close the gap on our goal before tomorrow at midnight. Anything helps right now.
