Friend—
When we started the Georgia Blue Project, our goal was to build a digital infrastructure to support down-ballot state legislative races in the 2020 election. We recognized that Georgia, with not one but two U.S. Senate elections, a new House and legislative battleground, and incredibly tight presidential margins, was the new political epicenter of the country. And we acted like it.
We believed that with strong candidates running energized campaigns for the State House and State Senate, we could close margins and impact races at the Congressional level, in the Senate, and ultimately, the White House.
Our focus: Turning out Black and Brown communities, young voters, and women who the Democratic Party has relied on to deliver key victories and lead our country forward. We took your donations and used them to advertise our endorsed candidates, producing videos and digital ads to reach and persuade voters not just in Atlanta, but across the entire state, often in the rural communities that are often overlooked.
Well, just a few thousand votes made the difference — and Georgia delivered.
We won the White House. The Georgia Blue Project's endorsed candidates Nikki Merritt (State Senate District 9), Shea Roberts (State House District 52), Rebecca Mitchell (State House District 106), and Regina Lewis-Ward (State House District 109) flipped seats that remained red even in the blue wave of the 2018 midterms.
We defended Rep. Lucy McBath in the 6th congressional district and helped push Carolyn Bourdeaux across the finish line in the 7th — both districts that voted by more than 60% for Republicans in 2016.
Together we held off Republican efforts in Atlanta and Savannah to disenfranchise voters, and the result was a historic voter turnout that turned Georgia blue for the first time since 1992.
Georgians showed up after losing Civil Rights leaders John Lewis, C.T. Vivian, and Joseph E. Lowery. After losing Ahmaud Arbery and Rayshard Brooks. After losing so many of our friends and family members to a virus that continues to ravage predominantly Black and Brown communities unchecked.
We honored their legacy by choosing the politics of hope, compassion, and empathy — while rejecting the divisiveness of the past four years. But our job isn't finished.
We are pivoting aggressively to supporting Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in their January 5th runoff elections against Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.
We need to begin an aggressive 159-county digital campaign to win these elections and cannot let this opportunity go to waste. Will you donate $40 — $20 for each Senate race — to the Georgia Blue Project today?

With an expected 50-48 Republican margin heading into these contests, a Democratic sweep could break Mitch McConnell's majority and give the tie breaking vote to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, which is crucial to executing a Democratic legislative agenda on issues like $15 minimum wage, restoring the Voting Rights Act, and expanding the Affordable Care Act.
Absentee ballots will be mailed as early as November 18. We have a December 7 voter registration deadline with in-person early voting beginning December 14.
We have the ability to shape history and make sure that the Biden-Harris administration can make meaningful change alongside two senators who are signed, sealed, delivered and approved by the people of Georgia and its diverse communities.
