Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America in support of former NAACP Chairman Ben Jealous’ (D. MD) gubernatorial campaign:
One of the most important primary elections of 2018 for progressives is about to come to a close, and it's still too close to call.
We need your help to put Ben Jealous over the top.
The fight to make Ben the Democratic nominee for governor of Maryland ends tomorrow night, on June 26. Both Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris are backing Ben because they know that he's running a bold, grassroots campaign rooted in progressive values. But polling shows him neck-and-neck with his opponent, and anything could happen on Election Day.
That's why I need to ask you to take some time today or tomorrow to call critical voters in Maryland and ask them to get out and vote for Ben. Will you sign up for a DFA Dialer shift now?
Yes! I'll sign up now for a DFA Dialer shift to Get Out The Vote for Ben Jealous.
Ben Jealous is running on a bold agenda of supporting state-level Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, climate action, ending mass incarceration, protecting immigrants, and more. He has the values that Democrats need to take back Maryland -- a deep-blue state with a very vulnerable Republican incumbent governor.
Making calls on DFA Dialer is easy and fun. We’ll give you all the tools you need to have successful conversations with voters, and we will even provide you with a training before you begin calling so that you feel comfortable and prepared.
Ben and his campaign are counting on DFA members like us to help turn out critical voters -- young people, people of color and progressives -- who aren't always engaged by the Democratic Party. If we can help expand the electorate in these final, important hours, Ben will win and win big.
Can you sign up for a DFA Dialer shift TODAY to help turn out Maryland's most progressive voters for TOMORROW’s primary election on June 26th?
Yes! I'll sign up now for a DFA Dialer shift to Get Out The Vote for Ben Jealous.
Thank you for your support.
