Fired up about Conor Lamb. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE PAT RYAN.

Hi David -- We're really excited here about my friend Conor Lamb's win last night in PA-18. This morning, I've been reflecting on how Conor pulled off his victory in a district where Trump won by 20 points. Here's what I think the takeaways are as it relates to my race in NY-19 (and other tough races across the country):

• Conor spoke to and turned out a lot of Democrats that we haven't been able to speak to in a while, especially union members and working families. 
• Conor stayed focused and disciplined on the issues that mattered to his voters. He talked a lot about healthcare, jobs, and how the tax bill is going to hurt people.
• Conor's record of service showed that he puts his community first and allowed him to earn the trust of voters.
• Conor was the right fit for his district. He grew up there. He had real roots. He could connect to the people in his community.

Conor's win validates the approach I'm taking here in NY-19, a district that Trump won by 7 points. We're both endorsed by VoteVets and we're both part of the group of Democratic veterans supported by Seth Moulton's Serve America.

 

Flipping NY-19 won't be easy. And we shouldn't take last night's win to mean that any Democratic candidate can win a tough district. I'm the only candidate in this race who is running a strategy similar to Conor. And I'm the only candidate who can win here in November.

 

Best, Pat

SHELDON WHITEHOUSE: A CHAMPION. U.S. SENATOR CORY BOOKER.

David,

I wanted to get this email to you quickly. It’s not every day we have the opportunity to be a part of history in the making.

My friend Sheldon Whitehouse is giving his 200th speech on climate change on the floor of the Senate later today.

You read that correctly: Sheldon’s 200th speech on climate change.

Sheldon is a passionate advocate for combating climate change. He refuses to be silenced.

As a show of thanks and solidarity for his commitment,..keep up the fight to protect our environment...

At a time when the Trump administration is replete with climate-change deniers, and ceaseless attempts to eliminate environmental protections, Sheldon is a powerful voice in the Senate.

With his keen sense of what’s right and wrong, Sheldon is holding Trump officials accountable for their reckless actions and false statements on climate change and the environment.

As a United States senator, Sheldon is turning a powerful spotlight on the administration’s constant fudging and outright denials of evidence-based climate change facts.

That’s why Sheldon is giving his 200th speech on climate change. He won’t cower from speaking the truth.


...make sure Sheldon can keep speaking truth to power on climate change...

Thanks,

Cory

RUN EVERYWHERE. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

Run everywhere. Vote everywhere. 

That is the new formula, David. When we show up, we can win.

Yesterday, folks in Pennsylvania showed up. And today there are shockwaves across the Heartland. Heads are turning. Minds are changing. It’s time we put country over party again. It’s time to put service before self.

And it’s time to fight. For workers. For opportunity. For a new generation of leadership. 

We are fired up. We are ready to build on this momentum. 

When everyone chips in, when everyone shows up, we can flip districts. It’s time to invest in races everywhere. It’s time to invest in the OH7. 

LET’S WIN THIS.

In service,

Esosa Osa
Chief of Staff

With the right candidate, we can win anywhere. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JASON RITTEREISER.

David,

Pennsylvania's 18th district has been safe Republican territory for decades. Trump won there by nearly 20 points, and the Republican incumbent sailed to victory in the past eight elections. Last night, 33-year-old former prosecutor Conor Lamb broke their streak and defeated Trump’s hand-picked candidate Rick Saccone. 

 

I applaud Conor for taking on this challenge, as I know what it’s like to campaign for a seat that hasn’t elected a Democrat in decades. During this campaign I’ve met countless voters who tell me a Democrat hasn’t asked for their vote in years, and we need more candidates like Conor willing to do the same across the country if we’re going to take back the House this November.

 

I’ve only made it this far because supporters like you believed that we could flip a seat that has never elected a Democrat.

 

Conor’s victory proves that even voters in supposedly safe Republican districts are ready for a new generation of leadership in D.C. Just like the voters I’ve talked to from Auburn to Ellensburg, they are tired of the same of politicians reiterating the same partisan talking points and getting nothing done. 

 

With your help, we’ll make sure every voter in the district hears our winning message and make history of our own when Washington’s 8th district elects its first Democratic representative this November.

 

Conor’s victory proves that we can win.

 

See you at the finish line,
