Friend,
Tomorrow, I will be in Arkansas to rally supporters for Chris Jones, the Democratic nominee for the state’s second congressional district, in Little Rock.
As I’ve been preparing for this trip, I have been thinking about something I get asked pretty often: why focus so much on places where Democrats haven't won in a long time?
My answer is because that's where some of the most important conversations are waiting to happen.
The work in Arkansas is not compelling because it's the path of least resistance. It's compelling because people who know their own communities are stepping up to deliver change. They believe that Arkansans deserve representation that's actually focused on them – on jobs, on health care, on a future worth building toward.
This is what I think the Democratic Party should be doing more of.
Not just defending where we're already strong, or competing only in the handful of races that commentators deem the hottest. Not just turning out when the polling looks good. But going places where our presence itself carries a message – about respect, about belief, about what we're willing to fight for.
That's what your support helps make possible.
If you can chip in today, it goes directly toward the work of engaging in every community we can – in Arkansas and everywhere else we're building toward a politics that doesn't concede a single community:
