Hey folks,

We’re live with DNC Chair Ken Martin, and we really got into it — New Jersey, Virginia, local races across the country, Prop 50, and yes, Graham Plattner. It’s fast, candid, and full of those moments you can feel in your chest. You don’t want to miss this one.

Here’s what we got into:

• [00:03:56] Where the momentum is why Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are closing strong in NJ and VA.

• [00:07:12] What real leadership looks like: Ken on authenticity in politics, why voters can sense when something’s off, and how Democrats rebuild trust by showing up everywhere.

• [00:12:45] Prop 50 breakdown: counterpunch to Texas gerrymandering, constitutional stakes, and how Dem governors are stepping up to level the field.

• [00:21:52] Final push: text GOTV to 43367 — why turnout is the ballgame, plus a word on accountability, growth, and second chances in our politics.

If this conversation moved you — if it made you feel less alone, more ready, more in it — become a paid subscriber today. It’s $8/month and it directly fuels this work: more live sessions, more organizing conversations, and a community that actually shows up for each other. Help build this with me.

With urgency,

—Mike
