We have to keep at this-we're energizing Democrats in red states and districts across the country! We're still celebrating Conor Lamb's victory in Pennsylvania-18 last Tuesday! Another example of how we win when our voters turn out to vote. Thanks for all the hard work of our determined volunteers! We had our usual seasoned group of phoners and texters, and also welcomed many new volunteers who benefited from the expertise of our leaders, who are always on hand to train. We've been hosting a big crowd at our text/phone banks since February, and Saturday was no exception. Please join us at this pivotal moment at Rock the Congress on March 24th!
