I was proud to serve for over six years as Attorney General under President Barack Obama, when we fought to protect voting rights, expand marriage rights for same-sex couples, protect the environment, and make our criminal justice system more just. We can return to the path of that kind of progress, but the next president can’t do it alone. We also need to flip the Senate, secure our House majority, and win back state legislatures across the country.
Doing so depends on whether we can come together to give Democrats up and down the ballot the resources they’ll need to win from Colorado all of the way to Washington, D.C.
We know one thing for sure: Donald Trump cannot be trusted with another four years in office. Any one of our Democratic candidates would put our country on a better path, and it’s important that we as a party do everything we can to lift our future nominee to victory once that person receives our party’s nomination in July.
The DNC is putting grassroots organizers in key battleground states, building tech and data systems to mobilize voters, and running a 24/7 voter protection hotline — all things that are critical to winning down-ballot races and the presidency this year. We may not know who our candidate will be yet, but we know that she or he — as well as all Democrats down-ballot — will depend on the infrastructure the DNC is building right now.
Sincerely,
Eric
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States
Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee
