I can not say this any more clearly: If we let Republicans hold control of state legislatures, they will gerrymander Democrats out of power & rewrite the rules to ensure minority rule for a *generation*. Governing will be permanently broken, no matter which Democrat holds the WH.

We have barely two months to recruit candidates in Texas, for example, and there are still top-target races without candidates. I want to throw as much $ & human capacity as I can at the problem but we (and our partners) are limited by what's in our bank accounts.

I would also love to throw money into Virginia ahead of this November, and into recruiting candidates in NC, and WI, and OH, and PA, and FL, and everywhere else. But! It's at least $50k in online ads + $100k(ish) at least for staff support per state.

And that's on top of maintaining our support resources for the 100s of candidates we're already working with, and 1000ss more in the pipeline. This shit is HARD. It's hard to do and it's particularly hard to fund with ~waves hands~ everything else going on.

Because sadly the Dems are terrible at this and the GOP strategize their criminality with long term vision.
