Just stopping by to remind folks that
@KamalaHarris
started her career as a local elected official in San Francisco and
@JoeBiden
started his career by running for the New Castle County Council. That is why it's so important to focus up AND down the ticket.

Something that gets lost in the policy debate is that the moderate wing of the Democratic Party is more radical in their approach than progressives. Not a single progressive lawmakers has tried to hold Biden's agenda hostage. Moderates have done it every step of the way.

In six weeks he’s spent about 3x

’s yearly budget. With that amount of money we’ve recruited 30K + who are interested in running, supported 900+ state/local candidates, and helped elect well over 200.
Tom Steyer has spent $12 million on digital and TV ads in only 6 weeks — more than any other Democrat has spent all year. Whether he can become something more than the billionaire buying ads about how "our democracy has been purchased” is an open question.

We saw more success at the local level than any part of the ballot. Democrats won city councils seats, judicial races, and school board seats. These races show us that folks support Democrats and our ideas. They also show how hard it is to win on gerrymandered maps. (8/?)

Our *feelings* are because we expected to do better, which came from a few things that included an epic polling failure and the fact that big wins in 2017, 2018, and 2019 all indicated that we'd win big in 2020. That was reinforced by the huge turnout and Trump being Trump. (3/?)

I often hear folks say "Dems need a better message that's why we don't win." Here's the deal, we lose because we have REFUSED to invest locally and Republicans do. It's not message. It's not tactics. It's our refusal to spend strategically.
Texas Republicans are organized: This type of mobilization and recruitment in local, county-level races is not a norm across the county -- but can make a big difference in elections that often tend to draw few if any candidates.

Being recognized for good work has always been a struggle, and that’s true right now. That said, it’s an honor to be recognized with

A lot of us are in our *feelings* right now because we did a thing we haven’t allowed much of the last few years - we hoped. And, it turned out that there was a significant gap between our hopes and reality. That’s okay. We need to keep hoping.

We can't get stuck in an accounting of whether we won/lost bc of specific tactics. We couldn't knock on doors that def impacted the results, and we lost a lot of these seats by more than field margins. We also spent record amounts in so many districts and still lost. (11/?)

Tomorrow 525
@runforsomething
endorsed candidates will be on the ballot. Each of them has their own unique story and reason for running. They are running in red states and blue states. They are immigrants. They represent the best of us. I can’t wait to celebrate them win or lose.

If you’ve spoken to me over the last six months you’ll have probably heard the refrain “lots going on, all of it is good though.” This is why! 👇
Today

The New York State Senate flipped from red to blue tonight, and all it took were some competitive primaries. Primary elections are healthy, we need more of them.
Every victory tonight against an IDC member should be considered a flipped seat. We went from having Dems in name only to having real Democrats who will caucus with our party. That is at least 6 new Dems in the NY State Senate, 50% of whom were endorsed by

We released our strategic plan today. Some fun things:
1) More local work (city council, school board, etc)
2) More 1:1 support for candidates (regional directors)
3) Relational candidate recruitment (working with alum to recruit in their communities)

Two of the
@runforsomething
core values are to think "long-term" and be "sustainable." Next week we are rolling-out a 6 month pilot of a 4 day work week. Our COO
@CassandraGaddo
explains.

So proud of
@JCarrollFoy
and all that she’s done over the last few years whether it was fighting for foster families or passing the ERA. Also, so excited to have
@runforsomething
’s first candidate for Governor! And, congrats to
@amandalitman
for calling this three years ago.
This crisis has forced us to reckon with a truth that's been just beneath the surface: working families don’t have what they need to thrive.
Today, I'm launching my campaign for Governor of Virginia because we need a leader who won't back down in the fight for what’s right.

One of my favorite things is when
@JessLivMo
gets recognized for her incredible work. This one is more personal than almost anything I’ve ever seen her work on. She moves mountains and won’t rest until these kids are reunited with their parents.

Been thinking a lot since election night and have a bunch of random thoughts, so here we go: 1) None of the victories in 2019 happened overnight. They happened because of sustained work, investment, and partnership over many years.
