The Democratic Primary…
Like the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump show us, elections have consequences. Elections happen even when–like in 2018–choosing the president isn’t on the line. Primary elections set the ballot for November campaigns. Vote in the Democratic primary! It’s one of the big steps on the path to electing more Democrats this November. Hopefully this special edition of our Tenth Dems newsletter helps you to vote early or on Election Day, Tuesday, March 20.
