Hi friends,

Last week we sent out an email highlighting the differences
in diversity between Democratic and Republican candidates for
state senate (see below).

I guess the graphic hit a sore spot with the GOP, because
they sent us a rather testy email in response, suggesting that:
“If at any time you’d like to get around to talking about the
issues that matter to voters in our districts rather than
identity politics, let us know.”

I guess representative democracy isn’t an issue that matters
to Republican campaign leadership, huh?

Our leadership thought about sending another follow-up
message to our Republican colleagues, but decided that an even
better response would be to create a Rapid Response Fund in
support of our diverse slate of candidates.

Will you chip in today to send Republicans a message:
Washington Democrats want racial justice and gender equity and
we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is.

Our diverse, intelligent, candidates are leaders on the
"issues" of housing, early education, economic development,
healthcare, public safety and so much more. That is why we will
stand by and support our Democratic candidates every step of the
way--and your donation today will make that possible.

I know with your help, we will expand our one-seat majority
in the Senate and elect the most diverse Senate ever. Will you
chip in so Republicans know that too?

Thank you,
