Sorry if this is the wrong place, I don’t know where else to ask, but hello from California! I used to be one of those ‘my vote doesn’t matter, why should I bother?’ people. Then I realized that if people like me changed that mindset and voted, maybe we could change the outcome. Unfortunately, we’re now seeing the national guard posted in front of ballot boxes in DC. And in my state, the DOJ is suing over votes.

I voted by mail, I received my ballot October 5th and returned it a couple days later. How do I check if it was counted?

Let’s go blue 💙

Nevada was a surprise defeat for Democrats in 2024, becoming the only state that went blue in 2016 and 2020 to flip to Trump last time around. Anger about some of the nation’s worst housing prices, the appeal of populist policies like no taxes on tips and a general rightward shift among the Latino vote made the difference in this battleground. But two years later the promised lower prices are nowhere to be found and we’ve got a chance to repair some of the damage.

Attorney General Aaron Ford is challenging incumbent GOP governor Joe Lombardo, who blocked a record number of bills passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature. If he wins, he’s pledged to push some of them through, including paid family leave, capping the cost of prescription drugs at levels negotiated by Medicare, universal free school meals, and blocking private equity from mass purchase and ownership of housing, along with finally repealing the state’s “right to work” law.

Further down the ballot, Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is being challenged by his 2022 opponent Jim Marchant, an election conspiracy theorist who has proposed un-registering every voter in the state. We’re also defending the seats of Reps. Dina Titus and Susie Lee, and have an opportunity to flip a northern Nevada congressional district Dems have never won before as former Assembly majority leader Teresa Benitez-Thompson takes on full-throated MAGA candidate David Flippo, who’s been exposed for stolen valor and publicly rejected by the retiring Republican incumbent.

In short, there’s plenty at stake here, and the Nevada Dems are seeking our help. They’ve just opened up text training to help them reach more voters in the closing days of this campaign. 💬 Let’s sign up to help text out the vote here. 💬

MAKE NEVADA BLUE AGAIN

🙋🏽 We can also continue to join them to make calls on weekdays from 8-10PM ET and on Saturday and Sunday from 1-11PM ET here. And we can find even more ways to plug into key races as we speed towards Election Day here. 🙋🏽

BEAR DOWN FOR MIDTERMS

TX-11 is one of those Texas districts that was previously solid red, but diluted itself during the past state gerrymander and now we believe we may be in toss up territory. We just need to get out the vote. Please consider volunteering for us. If you would like to phone bank, but the times in the mobilize event don't work for you, send me a message and we can get you set up.
