****If you have not yet subscribed to the BPI Newsletter, sign up HERE**** Hello Democrats, Congratulations to our many states with Democratic victories, and to all of us for the outcome of this historic election! Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won more votes than any other ticket in American history. We rebuilt the blue wall in the Midwest and flipped formerly red states like Georgia and Arizona. Kamala Harris made history as the first woman and first person of color to be elected vice president of the United States. Thank you to all of the volunteers, staff, and candidates who helped to make these victories possible. Our hard work over the past four years has paid off. Take a moment to celebrate the wins, and look toward the future. We will soon compete in two runoff elections that will determine the balance of the Senate. We still have races to win, and infrastructure to build. See below for information on how you can help in these important Georgia Senate runoff races. Let us continue in this fight to build back better, together.
