Add your name if you agree climate change needs more time in the DNC debate. TOM STEYER.

DAVID –  During Tuesday’s Democratic debate, moderators failed to ask a single question about the climate crisis. Of the 12 candidates on stage, Tom spent the most time talking about climate, and he was the only candidate to address our climate emergency in a substantive way. Add your name if you want to see climate addressed with the urgency it deserves in the November debate. We have no “Planet B.” Tom has promised to declare the climate crisis a national emergency on day one of his presidency. He’s prepared to use emergency powers to effect meaningful changes right away if Congress fails to pass legislation in the first 100 days of his administration. This conversation is too important to ignore — every candidate must present and debate their solutions to address the most important international problem that we’re facing before it’s too late. Sign on here if you agree that the most important problems deserve serious solutions. Thank you, Tom 2020

My 2020 opponent is no match for this team. BOB FERGUSON.

David -- I have an opponent in this race who has made his positions very clear: He opposes my work protecting immigrants in Washington state. He has been especially vocal about our recent lawsuit challenging Trump’s “public charge” rule, a policy that targets lawful immigrants and their families. In the wake of the Dayton and El Paso shootings, he voiced his support for even fewer gun regulations. He opposes I-1639, which includes enhanced background checks and raising the purchasing age for military-style assault weapons. In short -- he is out of touch with the 60% of Washingtonians who approved I-1639.  This is not what Washingtonians deserve from their attorney general, the top law enforcement official in the state who must protect us from harm and fight for our rights. Washingtonians deserve an attorney general who will advocate for common-sense gun safety measures that reduce gun violence.  Washingtonians deserve an attorney general who won’t stand by while the president discriminates against and intimidates immigrants. As Washington’s attorney general, I stand up for you against powerful special interests whether they’re in the corporate boardroom or the White House -- no matter the political cost. But since I’m not taking corporate contributions, I need our grassroots network to help us fight back against my opponent and the dark money that the Republican Attorneys General Association will inevitably use against us in 2020. We have to be ready for deep-pocketed opposition, and we need to show my opponent and his special interest donors what kind of attorney general Washingtonians deserve.  Thank you for your support, Bob DONATE: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bob-ferguson-for-wa-nd

DO YOU KNOW THESE NAMES? MARK HERRING.

David --

Virginia is holding elections in just a few weeks and there are some great Commonwealth Attorney candidates that need...help to get across the finish line.

Scott Miles in Chesterfield. Amy Ashworth in Prince William. Steve Descano in Fairfax. Buta Biberaj in Loudoun. If you don’t already know these names, jot them down. These Commonwealth Attorney candidates have a vision for Virginia that mirrors our deeply held progressive values. 

Amy, Buta, Scott, and Steve are focused on ensuring justice, leading with integrity, and engaging the community.

In these final weeks before Election Day, I’m reaching out to ask you to support these great candidates.

 David, for too long, Democrats overlooked the importance of local races. Meanwhile Republicans quietly zeroed in on taking control of state houses and local offices. 

Now we’re beginning to see the catastrophic effects of Republicans having so much control -- from criminal justice reform to attacks on women’s reproductive freedoms, it’s clear that we need to take these races seriously because they have real consequences. 

So today, I’m asking you to...support these four fantastic Democratic Commonwealth Attorney candidates. 

Thanks so much for showing your support,

Mark
