Hi John –

Donald Trump and his Republican allies are already laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 elections. We're seeing it everywhere:

• North Carolina is moving to purge thousands of voters from the rolls.
• Florida just passed new restrictions making it harder for people to gather signatures and shape their democracy.
• And in Washington, Trump's allies are pushing the SAVE Act – a bill that would force voters to provide a passport or birth certificate just to register, a move that could disenfranchise millions of Americans.

If we don't take action, Republicans will continue silencing voters to cling to power.

So here's what we need to know from you: Do you think protecting democracy and voting rights should be a top focus for Democrats in 2026?

Your response will help guide Senator Gillibrand's fight in the Senate – and our campaign's grassroots strategy to flip the Senate blue.

Will you add your opinion to our poll?

Every response builds the case for urgent action. Every dollar ensures we have the organizers, voter registration drive and legal teams ready to protect the right to vote in battleground states.

We cannot let Trump's far-right Court rulings, GOP-rigged maps and billionaire-funded attacks dictate the future of our democracy.

So, John tell us right now: Should protecting democracy and voting rights be a top focus in 2026?

Thanks for making your voice heard,

— Team Gillibrand
