Danielle, There’s a feeling you get on election night that’s hard to describe unless you’ve been through it. You’re watching the numbers come in, refreshing the results, holding your breath. You think about all the people who knocked on doors, made phone calls, and gave up their evenings and weekends because they believed we could win. You feel the energy of the moment — and you feel hope. As I travel across the country, I’m seeing crowds that are electrified by the opportunity to make their voices heard. Candidates are making their case in diners, union halls, and school gyms. Volunteers are knocking on doors and making calls. People are ready to make their voices heard and send a message to Donald Trump and the Republicans. Because here’s the thing: working people know Republicans want to rip health care away from millions of families so billionaires can get even bigger tax breaks. They’re watching Republicans go after Social Security, gut public education, and slash cancer research. They know Republicans are putting Donald Trump ahead of the people they were elected to represent. And they’re really and truly ready for something different. I’m sure you are too, Danielle. Now, I’ve been in enough elections to know that being right isn’t enough. Having better ideas isn’t enough. Even having the polls on your side isn’t enough. You have to win the votes. We cannot underestimate what Republicans will do to hold on to power. We’ve watched them bend the rules, ignore the Constitution, and stand by while Trump puts his own interests ahead of the American people. They won’t give up their power without a fight. So we have to keep fighting, too. All the way to the finish line. With a Democratic Congress, we could finally hold this administration accountable with public hearings, real oversight, and tough questions under oath. We could stop rubber-stamping policies that benefit the wealthy at everyone else’s expense and get back to lowering costs, protecting health care, and fighting for working families. And honestly, I don’t just want us to win. I want us to win BIG. Big enough that nobody can dismiss the results. Big enough to send a clear message that this country is ready to go in a different direction. That kind of victory doesn't happen by accident. It happens because people refuse to sit it out. They show up, organize, and bring others along. I’ve seen what this grassroots team can do. I know what happens when people who care about their country decide to do something about it. It’s not always glamorous. It’s not always easy. Sometimes it feels like progress is moving a whole lot slower than it should. But no matter what, one thing will always be true: This work matters. We know what we’re fighting for. We know what’s at stake. And we know how to win. Thanks for being part of this, Elizabeth
