John, the work for our 2025 endorsed candidates didn’t end on Election Day.
Two of our candidates — Akbar Ali in Georgia and Christian Menefee in Texas — advanced to runoff elections, putting them within striking distance of victory.
David and our whole team are laser-focused on winning these elections. These are two critical opportunities to advance our mission of electing young, bold progressives who are ready to meet this moment. And we don’t like to lose!
David doesn’t have as much time to focus on fundraising these next few weeks and fundraising tends to slow during the holidays, so we’re relying even more on this grassroots team. We gotta do all we can to win these special elections and lay the solid baseline of our funding for 2026. We don’t have special interests and corporate PACs backing our efforts, but we have something much better: people like you. And we need your help long before the election.
Can you start a recurring contribution now to sustain this crucial work, John?
Use the links in this email to start a recurring contribution to Leaders We Deserve.
Our monthly supporters provide a foundation of support that allows us to recruit, train, and support young progressive candidates to challenge the status quo.
It gives us a clear forecast about how much we can invest in these races. We have to keep our fundraising on track so we can power the next generation of leaders.
Right now, we need to keep David on the road supporting Akbar and Christian. Then, we’re setting our sights on electing even more candidates next November.
But none of that is possible if we don’t keep up with our monthly fundraising. If we miss our goals, we risk having to slow down our efforts and work on fewer races.
That’s why your support is essential, John. And it goes even further when you commit to a monthly donation. Will you start a $5 recurring gift now?
Thanks for your continued support. You make our game-changing work possible.

P.S. Can’t make it monthly? Your one-time donation of $5 or any amount right now will help keep Leaders on track as we prepare to win these runoffs.
