Hi John, it’s Zoë with Contest Every Race. 

Did you know that last year, Republicans won 80% of uncontested partisan races?¹

That means they’re literally taking power without a single vote being cast.

Here’s what my org, Contest Every Race, is doing about it: 

• Supporting and expanding the 390 local teams working in rural communities to build year-round Democratic power.
• Recruiting candidates statewide, starting in states with fast-approaching 2026 deadlines like Texas, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
• Hosting major recruitment rallies where hundreds of first-time candidates leave inspired to run for office.

But our FEC end-of-quarter deadline is just days away. If we fall short now, fewer Democrats will be on the ballot in 2026 — and MAGA extremists will continue to win by default.

Will you chip in $1, $10, or even  $25 today to fight back and make sure no race goes uncontested?

Every uncontested race we end is a community we protect.
