Email from Pelosi/DCCC (WooHoo, Oregon!!) What a Night!

Mary Ellen --

Tuesday night proved to be a great evening with two strong Democratic victories.

First, we got word that we won the hard-fought special election in Oregon’s 1st District by electing Democrat Suzanne Bonamici to office.

Her victory put Republicans on notice that voters will no longer stand for Tea Party obstruction. Suzanne joins special election winners Kathy Hochul and Janice Hahn as the third Democratic woman elected to office over the last year.

Generous contributions from supporters like you allowed us to help Suzanne with rapid response operations and advertising to fight back against the onslaught of misleading attacks from outside groups and Washington Republicans.

Second, we closed out January with record-breaking numbers of grassroots supporters -- shattering our $500,000 goal by raising an incredible $674,000 online. Your contributions will help fuel our “Drive to 25” campaign to win a Democratic Majority.

Mary Ellen, grassroots supporters like you are making the difference. Thank you for standing with us, and congratulations on an incredible night you made possible.

Nancy Pelosi
