I would love to be completely wrong about this, but I just don't think there's any way

we get our voting rights legislation passed in this Congress. Our next and likely LAST chance is to elect enough Democratic Senators next year so that we don't need Manchin or Sinema to kill the filibuster and pass a federal law that will ensure a level playing field in '24 and guarantee that we can take office if elected.

We need to "leave it all on the field" in these '22 Congressional races
