Democrats
for
Success
Date:
Friday,
September
9,
2016
With
60
days
left
until
Election
Day
and
less
than
a
month
before
early
voting
begins
in
many
states,
Im
proud
to
say
that
Democrats
are
better
coordinated
and
more
prepared
than
ever
to
win
up
and
down
the
ticket.
Thanks
to
your
support,
Hillary
for
America
has
worked
hand-in-hand
with
state
parties,
campaign
committees
and
candidates
at
the
federal,
state,
and
local
level
to
build
an
unprecedented
50-state
coordinated
campaign
that
will
elect
Democrats
at
all
levels
of
the
ballot.
We
have
built
this
unprecedented
coordinated
campaign
because
this
election
will
be
harder
to
win
than
many
people
think.
The
polls
will
continue
to
tighten
and
our
turnout
operation
will
be
a
difference
maker
in
many
states.
With
so
much
at
stake,
we
have
no
choice
but
to
combine
resources
to
run
the
most
aggressive
ground
game
possible.
Your
help
has
gotten
us
this
far,
now
your
continued
support
is
more
urgent
than
ever.
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
campaign
you
built,
the
capacity
it
has
created
to
turn
Democrats
out
to
vote,
and
how
it
has
enabled
us
to
take
full
advantage
of
Donald
Trumps
deep
unpopularity,
even
allowing
us
to
expand
into
states
like
Arizona,
Utah
and
Georgia.
In
contrast
to
the
chronically
dysfunctional
operation
that
Trump
and
the
RNC
have
struggled
to
pull
together,
there
has
never
been
greater
synergy
between
the
Presidential,
Senate,
House,
Gubernatorial,
and
state
legislative
races
on
the
Democratic
side.
Because
of
your
help,
and
an
unprecedented
level
of
coordination
between
campaigns,
Democrats
have
never
been
better
positioned
for
success
up
and
down
the
ticket.
Historic
Coordinated
Campaign
Campaigns
are
all
about
margins.
The
work
that
is
done
in
the
fieldregistering
voters,
persuading
them,
and
turning
them
outgives
our
campaigns
the
edge
in
a
close
race.
To
gain
that
edge,
campaigns
must
be
efficient,
ensuring
that
duplication
is
avoided
or
minimized,
and
that
every
asset
particularly
a
volunteers
timeis
leveraged
for
maximum
impact.
Working
closely
with
all
50
state
parties,
the
Democratic
National
Committee
(DNC),
Democratic
Senatorial
Campaign
Committee
(DSCC),
Democratic
Congressional
Campaign
Committee
(DCCC),
Democratic
Governors
Association
(DGA),
and
Democratic
Legislative
Campaign
Committee
(DLCC),
we
are
proud
that
our
50-state
coordinated
campaign
is
breaking
records
in
the
number
of
voters
contacted
and
volunteers
engaged.
Every
investment
we
have
made
in
the
field
has
been
closely
integrated
with
our
partners
and
targeted
to
maximize
value
up
and
down
the
ticket.
That
includes
everything
from
the
states
we
have
prioritized
for
voter
registration
to
the
location
of
field
offices
within
a
given
state.
Here
is
a
sample
of
our
historic
ground
operation:
more
than
10
million
people
have
gotten
involved
with
the
Democratic
coordinated
campaign,
and
more
than
1
million
people
have
signed
up
to
volunteer,
including
half
a
million
in
battleground
states
alone.
In
the
battleground
states,
volunteers
arent
just
working
towards
270
electoral
votes
for
Hillary
Clinton,
but
on
behalf
of
10
U.S.
Senate
candidates,
key
races
for
Governor
in
states
like
New
Hampshire
and
North
Carolina,
dozens
of
U.S.
House
candidates
and
hundreds
of
local
legislative
and
executive
races.
The
data
across
just
a
few
key
states
underscore
the
strength
of
the
program
weve
built:
Florida:
There
are
not
only
29
electoral
votes
at
stake
in
Florida,
but
also
a
U.S.
Senate
seat
and
more
than
a
half-dozen
U.S.
House
seats.
With
that
in
mind,
we
have
opened
51
coordinated
campaign
offices
that
have
been
strategically
targeted
based
on
the
full
breadth
of
opportunities
in
the
state.
We
have
engaged
more
than
700,000
Floridians
in
the
campaign,
and
signed
up
more
than
90,000
people
to
volunteer
for
the
campaign.
North
Carolina:
In
addition
to
the
states
15
electoral
votes,
Democrats
are
working
to
elect
Roy
Cooper
as
Governor,
Deborah
Ross
as
U.S.
Senator,
and
win
several
key
seats
in
the
state
legislature.
To
achieve
all
of
these
goals,
weve
opened
30
coordinated
campaign
offices.
We
have
engaged
more
than
300,000
North
Carolinians
in
the
campaign,
and
signed
up
more
than
40,000
people
to
volunteer
for
the
campaign.
Pennsylvania:
In
addition
to
the
states
20
electoral
votes,
Democrats
are
working
together
to
elect
Katie
McGinty
to
the
U.S.
Senate,
to
win
key
House
races
in
eastern
Pennsylvania,
and
dozens
of
state
legislative
races.
We
have
now
set
up
38
offices
in
the
state.
We
have
gotten
more
than
400,000
Pennsylvanians
engaged
in
the
campaign
and
have
signed
up
more
than
60,000
volunteers.
These
examples
reinforce
how
united
Democrats
have
been
in
building
the
strongest
coordinated
program
ever,
and
in
ensuring
that
resources
are
maximized
around
the
country
and
up
and
down
the
ballot.
We
have
also
been
able
to
build
this
massive
volunteer
operation
because
of
how
our
supporters
are
responding
to
Secretary
Clintons
message.
They
agree
that
America
is
at
its
best
when
we
work
together
and
lift
each
other
up,
rather
than
tearing
each
other
down.
Our
supporters
are
eager
to
build
an
economy
that
works
for
everyone,
not
just
those
at
the
top.
Sec.
Clintons
vision
of
Stronger
Togetherof
how
we
move
forward
as
a
country
and
allow
everyone
to
reach
his
or
her
full
potentialis
resonating
across
the
country.
By
comparison,
the
Republicans
remain
deeply
divided.
Down-ballot
Republicans,
including
Republican
Senators
in
the
three
states
mentioned
above,
are
embracing
Trump
because
they
need
his
bases
support,
but
are
also
pretending
to
distance
themselves
from
him
with
swing
voters.
The
dissonance
within
the
Republican
Party
has
been
laid
bare
for
everyone
to
witness.
In
fact,
there
have
been
numerous
examples
of
Republican
state-level
officials
and
County
Party
Chairs
resigning
their
positions
because
of
Trump.
All
of
this
has
led
to
a
fractured
and
woefully
inadequate
ground
operation.
The
press
has
noticed
the
gulf
between
our
two
efforts.

description
of
our
well-
coordinated
program
in
Florida,

and

In

area

facto

Juan
suburb,
with
an
estimated
400,000
Puerto
Ricans

Clinton
campaign
has
assigned
organizers
to
neighborhoods,
churches
and
even
bus
stops.
(New
York
Times)
with
this
description
of
the
dysfunction
on
the
other
side:
The
[Trump]
campaigns
Florida
team,
Trump
enthusiasts
and
the
state
Republican
party
dont
always
seem
to
be
coordinating
their
efforts.
In
one
instance,
in
late
August
(emphasis
added),
the
Trump
campaign
encouraged
a
Saturday
of
flash
mobs
all
over
Florida
--
on
that
same
day
the
RNC
had
scheduled
its
national
training
day.
There
was
no
coordination
to
ramp
up
registration
efforts.
It
was
a
lost
opportunity
[...].
(CBS
News)
This
dysfunction
has
real
consequences
for
down-ballot
candidates.
Typically,
in
a
presidential
election,
down-ballot
candidates
would
rely
on
their
presidential
nominees
field
infrastructure
to
also
support
them.
But
as
of
last
week,
Donald
Trump
and
the
Republicans
had
a
total
of
four
offices
across
Florida,
North
Carolina
and
Pennsylvania.
As
a
result,
many
Republican
candidates
have
had
to
set
up
their
own
infrastructure,
which
both
costs
them
resources
they
could
allocate
to
other
activities,
and
means
that
there
are
now
parallel
Republican
field
structures
set
up
within
several
states.
Contrast
this
with
Democrats
who
are
working
out
of
the
exact
same
offices
and
off
of
the
same
game
plan.
Trumps
Unpopularity
Helping
Expand
the
Map
As
the
national
numbers
on
our
program
indicated,
our
50-state
campaign
was
never
solely
focused
on
presidential
battleground
states,
but
it
is
Donald
Trumps
historic
unpopularity
that
has
enabled
our
strategy
to
take
hold
and
expand
to
states
Democrats
have
rarely
considered
playing
in
at
the
presidential
level
in
this
century.
Trump
is
the
most
unqualified,
unprepared
and
temperamentally
unfit
nominee
in
modern
history.
As
a
result,
Trump
has
become
an
anvil
around
the
ankle
of
every
Republican
on
the
ballot.
Our
Democratic
allies
in
Senate,
House,
Gubernatorial
and
State
Legislative
races
understand
the
opportunity
Trump
presents:
Republican
candidates
have
waffled
between
courting
Trumps
base,
which
they
need,
and
attempting
to
distance
themselves
from
him.
In
the
process,
they
have
shown
a
staggering
lack
of
courage
and
judgment
by
supporting
Trump
and
putting
their
party
ahead
of
what
is
best
for
the
country.
Having
the
most
unpopular
nominee
in
the
modern
era
at
the
top
of
the
ticket
is
an
unprecedented
drag
on
everyone
with
an
R
next
to
their
name.
Trump
is
turning
off
Latinos,
millennials,
African
Americans
and
women
at
record
levels,
with
his
favorability
in
the
high
60s
or
worse
among
each
of
these
groups.
A
sizeable
portion
of
Republicans
are
turned
off
by
Trump,
which
means
the
party
base
is
more
fractured
than
ever.
As
a
result,
as
Election
Day
has
approached,
instead
of
shrinking
the
number
of
states
were
engaged
in,
weve
actually
been
expanding
them.
Thats
why
we
have
now
signed
up
more
than
half-a-million
volunteers
in
non-traditional
battleground
states.
We
have
now
opened
up
multiple
offices
in
Arizona,
Utah
and
Georgia,
and
have
staffed
up
in
each
of
these
states.
We
now
have
thousands
of
volunteers,
in-state
organizers,
and
state-specific
targeted
outreach
programs
such
as
those
to
Latinos
in
Arizona
and
African
Americans
on
campuses
in
Georgia.
In
a
state
like
Utah,
we
are
conducting
outreach
to
moderate
and
conservative
voters
who
are
unable
to
support
a
nominee
as
offensive
and
divisive
as
Trump.
All
of
these
investments
would
have
been
unthinkable
in
any
other
year,
including
our
recently-
announced
TV
buy
in
Arizona.
And
our
investments
in
these
states
have
real
consequences
for
candidates
like
Sen.
John
McCain
(AZ)
and
Rep.
Mia
Love
(UT),
who
looked
relatively
safe
earlier
in
the
cycle,
but
are
now
at
serious
risk
of
being
defeated
in
November.
As
in
the
core
battleground
states,
our
work
in
these
expansion
states
is
only
possible
because
of
the
strength
of
our
coordinated
campaign,
and
the
commitment
of
all
partners
to
work
closely
at
every
level.
Taking
Nothing
for
Granted
Because
of
Sec.
Clintons
long-standing
commitment
to
communities
of
color,
our
coordinated
campaign
has
been
focused
on
registering
and
mobilizing
these
voters
from
the
start
of
the
campaign.
We
cannot
build
a
winning
coalition
without
communities
of
color.
Donald
Trumps
divisive
and
hateful
campaign
provided
us
even
more
opportunities.
He
has
run
a
campaign
based
on
insulting
and
demeaning
people
who
dont
look
like
him
or
dont
agree
with
him.
As
expected,
polling
consistently
shows
Trump
with
exceptionally
low
support
among
Latinos,
African
Americans
and
Asian
Americans.
While
our
support
in
these
communities
continues
to
remain
strong,
since
day
one
on
this
campaign
we
have
taken
nothing
for
granted
and
have
been
engaging
in
aggressive
outreach
both
through
the
airwaves
and
on
the
ground.
We
have
paid
media
campaigns
focused
on
these
communities,
including
targeted
television
advertising,
significant
radio
advertising,
and
ongoing
digital
advertising
in
battleground
states.
We
have
developed
culturally
relevant
and
specifically
tailored
organizing
programs,
and
launched
them
early
and
broadly
enough
to
build
meaningful
relationships
and
plant
real
roots
in
these
communities.
In
partnership
with
faith
leaders,
community
leaders,
small
businesses
and
local
elected
officials,
our
organizers
are
poised
for
a
historic
GOTV
push
this
fall.
We
have
always
understood
how
much
is
at
stake
in
this
electionup
and
down
the
ticket.
Today,
thanks
to
supporters
like
you
weve
built
a
robust
coordinated
campaign
and
are
now
poised
to
run
a
historic
GOTV
program
that
will
ensure
Democrats
take
full
advantage
of
this
opportunity.
