Received this e-mail today from former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold’s (D. WI) PAC, LegitPAC, in support of Doug Jones’ (D. AL) & Kathie Allen’s (D. UT-03) campaigns:
Friend,
Red states have just as much to gain from bolstering democratic legitimacy as blue and purple states -- and so do the rest of us. Indeed, participation from red states is critical to legitimacy.
But the way things stand right now, we need to do more to build up pro-democracy champions in red states.
That’s why Legit supporters throughout the country are coming together to support Kathie Allen for Utah’s 3rd congressional district and Doug Jones for Senate in Alabama today. Allen and Jones have winnable elections this fall, so our support right now can make a big difference.
Contribute $3 today to support red state champions of legitimacy with winnable elections this fall: Kathie Allen (UT-03) and Doug Jones (AL-Sen).
Kathie Allen has committed to fight to end partisan gerrymandering, strengthen voting rights, and reduce the influence of super PACs in elections. These are positions Utah voters support, but her opponent will be tough to beat without support from small donors and grassroots folks.
Doug Jones represents our opportunity to fill Jeff Sessions’ seat in the Senate with a lifelong advocate of civil rights. The Republican in the race, Roy Moore, opposed removing segregation from the Alabama state constitution and has been kicked off the state Supreme Court twice for undermining the rule of law. Electing a non-conservative in a state like Alabama is hard, but Jones has an excellent shot if we stand behind him.
These would both be great races to win. With both candidates’ elections coming up soon, we have to act now to make a difference.
Contribute $3 today to support red state champions of legitimacy with winnable elections this fall: Kathie Allen (UT-03) and Doug Jones (AL-Sen).
When we win in red states, we don’t just elect champions of democratic legitimacy from areas that need to be a part of the solution -- we also make a statement for the nation to see.
Thank you for standing up for democratic legitimacy today,
LegitPAC Team
