Friends, during the last 18 months we had to fight an overwhelming sense of complacency in recruiting and turning out volunteers. Now, Democrats are fighting an uphill battle nationally, and we can't afford to stay on the sidelines when it comes to defending health care, our basic civil rights, or, quite frankly, everything that's already great about our democracy and our country.
We have one late opportunity to shift the outcome of this election. There will be a runoff for the Senate seat in Louisiana on December 10th. Since November 8th, your fellow Bay Area Hillary volunteers have continued to work the phones in support of Democrat Foster Campbell.
Remember, every seat in the Senate counts - particularly as senators vote to confirm Cabinet and Supreme Court appointees. Check the events listings on this feed or on the "Events" tab on this page for phone banks here in the East Bay, or message us directly to get a link where you can call from home.
Campbell faces strong headwinds. Kennedy won a quarter of the vote in a 24-candidate primary, and he has tightened his embrace of President-elect Donald Trump since his and the Republican Party's widespread victories Nov. 8. Trump won Louisiana with 58 percent of the vote.
