As 2009 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to thank you for all you've done for the DLCC throughout the year. As clichéd as it may sound, our organization relies on the support of individuals like you. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate the time you spend visiting our website, reading our emails, and the contributions you make to Democratic state lawmakers everywhere.

We know that 2010 will be a year full of challenges. Across the country, more than 6,000 legislators will be on the ballot. Republicans believe that this election offers them an opportunity to beat back the Democratic gains of the past decade and position themselves to control the next redistricting process.

At the DLCC, we're confident that we can meet this challenge. Our incumbents will be prepared for the GOP attacks, and we'll have our own opportunities to target Republicans where they are vulnerable. We won't be able to do any of that, however, without plenty of help from supporters like you.

We'll have much more to say about the 2010 election, redistricting, the next legislative session, and the work of Democratic state lawmakers in the months ahead.

But for now, again, thank you.

Happy Holidays!

Michael Sargeant
Executive Director
