When I started at the DNC in 2017, our party was in bad shape. But under the leadership of DNC Chair Tom Perez, Democrats secured seven governorships, took back the House, flipped the Senate, and won back the White House. The secret to our success? Early, steady, and strategic investment in our party's infrastructure by generous grassroots donors. I got my start in politics as an organizer, and the infrastructure we build makes the difference from the grassroots to the White House. That's a lesson I'll take with me as I step into my new role as the DNC's executive director.
We cannot rest a minute if we want to ensure Democratic success in 2021, 2022, and beyond. Democrats running for office nationwide are counting on folks like you to invest in the early organizing, data and tech, voter protection, and more they'll need to win in years to come. That's why I'm coming to you today, just three days before our party's first FEC deadline of the year.
Folks tell me that if just 17 more supporters from your town donate right now, we'll be on track to hit our fundraising goal and start this year off strong. So please, make a $7 donation to the DNC before Sunday at midnight.
