It’s been a really loud news cycle between the LA fires, a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the confirmation hearings, and oh yes, Jack Smith’s report — the one that clearly underlines how Trump ran for office to avoid jail accountability.
But we’re closely watching some grassroots stories — the Minnesota legislature and the North Carolina Supreme Court to be specific — that remind us why NDTC is mission-focused on training Democrats to run and WIN.
Time for us to stay focused, play a long game, and work for a unified Democratic government. We’ll be mobilizing Democrats on January 20th with CEO Kelly Dietrich in a special edition of So You Think You Want To Run. Have you signed up and shared the news with your friends online?
