Hi there,
While Josh Hawley has said he “isn't going anywhere,” his fellow senator from Missouri, Roy Blunt, sure is.
With Sen. Blunt's recent announcement that he will not be seeking re-election in 2022, he joined the growing number of GOP leaders who opted to avoid facing their increasingly radical base of voters at the polls.
Here's the problem -- Blunt's retirement opens the door for even more extreme candidates to vie for his Senate seat. Even worse, Josh Hawley's success in catering to his constituents' demand for conspiracies is now a blueprint that candidates will have to use in order to win.
The good news? The GOP's intra-party rat race towards extremism might just work in our favor. Democrats have popular candidates considering a Senate run, and with the kind of organizing and grassroots mobilization we saw take place in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania in 2020, we have a real opportunity to prevent another Josh Hawley clone representing Missouri in the Senate.
Unfortunately, CPAC's immense success has shown Republicans that extremism is a fundraising gold mine, so we're looking at yet another election cycle where Republicans use misinformation and conspiracy peddling to successfully fund their campaigns. That being said, we're still incredibly optimistic about our chances -- if we can count on your support.
We have a plan to protect our Senate majority and beat these radical candidates in 2022 -- but instead of relying on conspiracies to fund our mission, we are completely reliant on people like you. You helped us flip the “unflippable” Senate seats in Georgia, and now we're hoping you'll see our vision for Missouri as well.
Right now we're falling behind by $1,780 from where we financially need to be this week in order for this to be a competitive race, so we're really hoping you'll pitch in what you can now right now so we can go all in on 2022.
We can make sure Josh Hawley is the last of his kind, but we can't do it alone.
