Fellow Democrats,

This week, I've felt a surge of energy that I haven't experienced in a long time. And I know it's not just me-you've felt it too. There's a renewed sense of hope, an electric excitement about our future. It feels like we have a real opportunity to make a lasting difference for our families, our community, and the world.

I've found myself staying up way past my bedtime this week, night after night, glued to the DNC, mesmerized, inspired, and moved to tears by the powerful words of Michelle and Barack, Hillary, Bill, Tim, Doug, and so many others. And then, last night-Kamala. Her words were a beacon of hope, a clear and inclusive vision for a future that lifts all of us-no matter who we are, what we believe, or who we love. It was nothing short of extraordinary. I am filled with a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

I'm sure you're feeling it too.

But we can't let this momentum fade. As Michelle Obama reminded us, now is the time to do something.

We need you to step up and get involved. It's not just about electing Kamala-we need to elect Mondaire, re-elect Pete Harckham and Chris Burdick, and right here in Bedford, we need to elect Allie Whalen as Town Clerk and re-elect David Menken as Town Judge!

There are so many ways you can make a difference-register voters, knock on doors, make phone calls, send postcards, or simply talk to your friends and neighbors. Every action, no matter how small, matters.

We have a precious window of opportunity to turn the tide for our community and our nation. This is our moment to stand up, to make our voices heard, and to shape the future we believe in. Now is not the time to stand on the sidelines.

Let's WIN THIS TOGETHER!

Thank you,

Mark
