Many of us hoped for a different outcome in the Presidential election this year – there’s no doubt that Democrats suffered a considerable blow. In the wake of these results, it’s essential to look towards the protections we upheld and the changes made in the face of national trends. Last night, we saw history being made when Sarah McBride, our first openly trans member of Congress. In Washington State, we elected Emily Randall; in Texas, we elected Julie Johnson. Queer women won from coast to coast. Working with Equality PAC, we upheld the rights of LGBTQ+ members of Congress across the country. Rep. Ritchie Torres, Rep. Mark Takano, Rep. Becca Balint, Rep. Angie Craig, and Rep. Chris Pappas stood firm. He will return to Washington to fight for fairness, equality, and protecting the vulnerable. We’re still waiting to hear about other folks who can help us take the majority in the House, like Will Rollins. The work Democrats have done this cycle was authentic and compelling. While the change we hoped for may take longer than we had initially expected – we have experienced extraordinary unity and optimism for the future of America. This is the foundation from which we build on that vision. In the coming months, remember the value of the communities you have built and how powerful our voices are when we come together. We’re proud of our work for our clients this cycle and will continue to uplift the voices of those who will fight for these same values. It's what makes us unstoppable–KEEP GOING.

Rest today... Win Tomorrow...

🗳️One of the best sources for best practices on voter registration out with some impactful and compelling messaging on how to register pivotal voters who are feeling left out 🗳️ But Tom Lopach, head of the The Voter Participation Center, said this hard-to-move group can be swayed by bridging the information gap — and giving them “permission” to not know everything about voting. In some of last year’s elections, the group tested language saying, “You don't have to be a physician to remove a splinter, and you don't have to know everything about the government to be a voter,” which Lopach said was successful. “If you feel like you don't have the information to vote, that can heighten your sense of things being unfair,” he said. “And if you don't feel fully engaged with or understanding of politics, government or elections, it can heighten your sense that you don't want to be a part of it.” https://lnkd.in/e4eqx2pv

Three great songs from my playlist to start your Monday off strong: 🎲 The Gambler by Kenny Rogers "Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep. 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep." The key to success in unpredictable situations is working with the hand you are dealt, being decisive, and leveraging what you have. Whether it’s a tight race or an unexpected scandal, your ability to adapt and make the best of any situation defines your leadership. If Ted Lasso can turn underdogs into champions, we can navigate the political landscape with the same resilience, leadership, and optimism. 🎭 Brilliant Disguise by Bruce Springsteen "So when you look at me, you better look hard and look twice. Is that me, baby or just a brilliant disguise?" In the political arena, perception is everything. Some of us “fake it” better than others, and some of us are just lucky, but no one actually knows what they are doing all the time. The secret to standing out and earning trust is authenticity. Know who you are, what you stand for, and why you are playing your role. When your public persona is an authentic reflection of your true self, your message resonates more powerfully with voters. 🪝 Hook by Blues Traveler "It doesn't matter what I say, so long as I sing with inflection. That makes you feel I'll convey some inner truth or vast reflection. But I've said nothing so far and I can keep it up for as long as it takes and it don't matter who you are if I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaks." For political campaigns, message discipline is crucial. While we stress about the exact wording of our speeches and statements, it’s often the delivery that actually makes news. It's not so mich what you say, it's HOW you say it. The way you communicate—your passion, conviction, and confidence—are more persuasive than the words themselves. Remember, “the hook brings you back.” Craft a compelling narrative and deliver it with conviction to win hearts and minds. What's on your playlist that inspires you to do your best work?
