Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America in support of Rob Quist’s (D. MT-AL) congressional campaign:
This is a stunning result: Jon Ossoff has a huge first place win in tonight's all-important special election primary in Georgia's 6th Congressional District!
The message is clear: No seat in Congress is safe. Stop the Trump agenda or lose your job. Anywhere.
Fulton County is still counting the votes. By the morning, we may even learn that Ossoff won more than 50% of the vote, securing the Congressional seat tonight skipping completely the expected June runoff.
The mere fact that we're even talking about a competitive race in a congressional district Democrats haven't held in over 40 years, let alone Jon Ossoff's big victory in tonight's primary, is a testament to the growing strength of a nationwide, grassroots movement that's looking for leaders ready to stand up to the Republicans empowering Donald Trump's hate-fueled agenda.
Tonight's result proves what we learned in Kansas last week: If we mobilize, organize and fund our candidates -- we can win anywhere.
Next up: Progressive populist Rob Quist is running in the special Congressional election in Montana next month. Now is the time to double down and drive another stake into the Trump agenda. Please chip in $3 or more right now to help DFA elect Rob Quist!
Republicans are being forced to sweat in red districts like this one because ordinary people in Georgia and communities across this country resisting Donald Trump's hate are making elections like tonight's a nail-biter, one door knock, one phone call, and one $5 dollar contribution at a time.
In Montana, Rob Quist is running an amazing populist, grassroots campaign against a right-wing billionaire. Democrats beat that billionaire in the governor's race last year. With Rob Quist, we can beat him again. Quist is a people-powered candidate funded by small dollar donors like you.
As several analysts pointed out tonight, if Democrats can replicate the successes we saw in Kansas last week and in Georgia tonight, we stand a very good chance of taking back control of Congress in 2018. This is an epic, historic moment. But we have to seize it right now.
If Democrats want to win big against Trump's Republican Party, they need to run candidates who stand up and fight for working families, not corporations or wealthy donors. Jon Ossoff and Rob Quist will do exactly that.
Will you chip in $3 or more right now to help progressive Rob Quist in Montana next month and send a clear message to Trump's Republicans?
Thank you for helping send more progressives to fight for working families in Congress.
