Fourteen points. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE STEPHEN SEVIGNY, MD

Dear David,

Seven in ten likely voters in the Democratic Primary are undecided.

 

We have 89 days to reach them with Steve's values. 89 days to show them his passion for transforming the belief that healthcare is a human right into public policy that ensures everyone gets all the care they need without fear of financial hardship.

 

Our first poll, in addition to showing that the race is wide open, tells us that if we have the resources to inform voters about Steve, his values and ideas, we are strongly positioned to win this primary.

 

We do something called an "informed ballot" where each of the candidate's bios and base messages are tested. It gives us an understanding of how the race will develop as voters get more engaged in the election. The results were pretty telling - they show that it's a two-way race, Sevigny 31, Soderberg 32. 

 

After testing our own negatives and those of our leading opponent, it gets even clearer - Steve is the candidate voters will choose if they have the opportunity to get to know him, by fourteen points.

 

That isn't hard for me to believe. I've done this a long time, and I only work with candidates that I believe should win. People that will be terrific representatives of the people, fighting with passion, and putting people first.

 

Steve is one of those people. When I first heard him talk about the importance of the Children's Health Insurance Program to families with disabled children, I was hooked. It was all heart with a depth of knowledge not just of the policy, but the practical impacts on families.

 

We need champions who can speak like that in Congress. That's why I'm here working to elect Steve and why so many of you have joined the team. Thank you for your support and let's all buckle in for three months of fury as we work to win this primary and then keep it going as part of a tremendous blue wave in November.

 

Solidarity,

HUGE news (Senator Hassan endorsement). GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MOLLY KELLY.

Dear David,

Molly got some big news today – Senator Maggie Hassan endorsed her to be our state's next governor!

Maggie knows what real leadership in the governor's office looks like. But our state is sorely lacking it today. Chris Sununu is taking our state in the wrong direction.

New Hampshire can count on Molly because of her consistent track record on the issues that matter most. She's stood up for public schools and students; championed women's rights and Planned Parenthood; voted for marriage equality nearly 10 years ago; introduced and got group net metering legislation to the governor's desk; and advocated for commonsense gun safety measures when it was not popular. Being progressive and fighting for these issues isn't new to Molly.

As governor, Molly will partner with Senator Hassan to make college more affordable, provide more opportunities for working families and build a New Hampshire that works for everyone, especially for children and families.

Country Over Party Newsletter – Vol. 5. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

David,

It is hard to believe that summer is right around the corner.

But Team Harbaugh isn’t taking a vacation because this campaign is heating up, too. Here’s a look back at the last few weeks here in the OH7.

Ken won his Primary Election. Team Harbaugh volunteers knocked on thousands of doors and made tens of thousands of phone calls. Thanks to them and thanks to YOU, Ken won in a landslide -- earning over 80% of the vote.

Team Harbaugh welcomed some incredible new members, including a few familiar faces. Ken was honored to meet with Representatives Cheri Bustos and Conor Lamb, who have championed the rights of workers in America’s heartland.

Vice President Joe Biden officially endorsed Ken! Team Harbaugh has been working tirelessly here in Ohio and folks across the country are starting to notice. Biden praised Ken as “a proven leader who represents the kind of courage we need in Washington today."

Ken continued holding Country Over Party Town Halls throughout the district. The word PRESENT is in the word REPRESENTATIVE. That’s why Ken shows up, looks his neighbors in the eye, and has conversations about issues that matter to all of us.  

Ken marched to honor the fallen in the Canton Memorial Day parade. Once a year, we take a day to recognize the men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedom. Ken, a veteran himself, is fighting to bring representation to Congress that understands the gravity of that sacrifice.

If you missed these events or any of the other great things happening here at Team Harbaugh, try following us on Facebook or on the Events page of our website. We would love to see you at a coffee hour, BBQ, or another campaign event soon.

Thank you for being on this journey with us.

In service,

Emily Huestis

Want a blue wave? Elect women. EMILY's LIST.

David,

The numbers don't lie: The blue wave will be powered by women.

So far, primaries have been held in 147 House districts, and women have been the nominees in 43 percent of the Democratic contests.

That's an excellent start. But 19 states and D.C. have primary elections in June — and we need to keep up the support for pro-choice Democratic women in competitive races.

Unsurprisingly, the numbers on the Republican side are fairly weak.

In the primaries held so far, just 7 percent of all the Republican House nominees have been women.

That's because there just isn't a Republican equivalent of EMILY's List — we're the organization for women in politics, and our support really does make a difference.

Five months out from Election Day, we've already helped 13 of our House candidates through their primaries, and two more are heading to runoffs.

But we still have 36 House women facing primaries — not to mention dozens of other women running for state and local office, too!


Thanks — and go team!

Emily Cain
Executive Director, EMILY's List
