Thank you for joining our recent voter registrations and canvassing Reno, Nevada, Merced County Fair, Patterson, Merced College, UC Merced, Los Banos College, and Los Banos community recently. Several wonderful engaging canvasses in Patterson.
Nevada was our top priority in 2022 and 2024 to defend and build the Senate. Critical down ballot races for democracy, reproductive health, and all our issues. 12 weekends canvassing in 2024 with up to 50 of us. Senator Catherine Cortez and Senator Jacky Rosen won by just one percentage point.
There will be special elections in 2025 and focus on flipping the House in 2026. Thank You!
