Friend,?now that the dust is settling around most of the races around the country, we wanted to take a minute and say: Thank you.



Thank you for the work you have done -- and are still doing -- for democracy.



So many of you pitched in. Even more of you joined The Union and put in hours volunteering where it mattered most.?



Your contributions made it possible for us to do what we do best -- putting powerful stories in front of the right voters in the right races.



And what about that red wave? More like a red... ripple? Turns out, when you get out there and do the work, you can break the conventional wisdom and make history. Consider:



- Wisconsin: We ran our ads over 12 million times. Tony Evers won, keeping control of Wisconsin's elections in pro-democracy hands through 2024. Remember how close it was in 2020.

- Pennsylvania: Dr. Oz is headed back to New Jersey, and Josh Shapiro gets to appoint a pro-democracy Secretary of State.

- Michigan: Pro-democracy candidates won the trifecta - Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and AG Dana Nessel. (Not to mention winning crucial House seats and flipping the legislature for the first time since 1983)

- Nevada: Returns are still coming in, but things look good for Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto - critical to holding the Senate - and Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar.

- Arizona: Arizona is also very close, but things look good for Sen. Mark Kelly, Secretary of State candidate Adrian Fontes, and Katie Hobbs is running very close to Kari Lake for Governor.



There's a real chance that every critical Presidential state in 2020 (and 2024) will NOT have an election-denying Governor - and all will have a pro-democracy Secretary of State. And Democrats kept it close enough that the House is not yet called. That means democracy is in a much, much better place than almost anyone outside our pirate ship could have predicted -- and it's thanks to your work.



Of course, the work is not yet over. The threat continues. A certain announcement from Mar-a-Lago looms next week. Ron DeSantis continues to challenge Trump's supremacy. The MAGA candidates that won have responded by going even further to the extreme. And if the GOP does take the House, it's going to be chaos in Congress for two full years. (We would NOT want to be Kevin McCarthy, even more than we normally wouldn't...)



And crucially, the Georgia Senate race is headed to a runoff.? We've got to keep our heads down for another month and run through the tape



We know you're tired and we know how much of your time, your money, and yourselves you've given. It has inspired all of us at The Lincoln Project to do the same.



Thank you for being with us in this fight.



It isn't stopping. And neither are we.
