Razor thin margins need a WHOLE lot of support
62 votes, Jason.
Sometimes a race comes down to only 62 votes, like it did for LWD-endorsed candidate Molly Cook.
ER nurse Molly Cook has been a powerful force advocating for abortion rights and public transit in the Texas state Senate. She won a special election to serve out the remainder of the current term, but she'll need to be re-elected to a full term in November!
Flipping a Texas state Senate seat is no small feat. Molly's race was razor thin, but we were able to flip it thanks to your help. In fact, her GOP opponent even alluded to our "six-figure help" as a big reason why he lost the seat.
Every donation, every show of support, makes a huge difference in the races we endorse. Often the entry points into politics for young people are through seats where an incumbent has gotten too comfy or in the state legislature where our voices have never been heard before.
Breaking through those barriers takes resources that young candidates – just starting out in this field – can not always muster up themselves. Here's where you come in.
Your $5, $10, or $15 donation is money that a young candidate does not have access to through normal channels. But your support unlocks the ability to reach one extra voter, put up one extra yard sign, or even mail one more postcard to an undecided voter. In some instances, that can mean the difference between winning or losing.
Will you empower the future of the Democratic Party to run a campaign against the odds to bring young, progressive voices to important places of power? If so, donate $5 today!
