Election Season is in Full Swing!
I am so excited to see all of you already working to Get Out the Vote this November. I see you walking, calling, texting, holding rallies and reaching voters to ensure a November win. Thank you for all your hard work so far… but we are far from done. First, we cannot get out the vote without registering voters. We have one more month to register voters, so we need your help with VEP. See...

Wow! I cannot believe we are just three short months away from the midterm elections! As many of you know, I have been involved for more than 30 years. This is the first time in more than 30 years I have truly felt in my heart, in my bones, and by my experience that we are in trouble.
