Last night, we were reminded what is possible when we come together and fight for what we believe in.
With the support of Onward Together, 40% of the candidates that Run for Something endorsed and supported won their races in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and more -- compared to the 10% rate at which first-time candidates usually win. 86 women trained by Emerge America won last night, including nine of the seats flipped in Virginia. Color of Change PAC was instrumental in winning the district attorney race in Philadelphia. And Indivisible groups made more than 600,000 calls into Virginia to help pull out a win for Ralph Northam, Justin Fairfax, and Mark Herring.
This year hasn't been what any of us had hoped it would be. In fact, it's been frustrating and, at times, painful. But we never lost faith in our vision of an America where our children and grandchildren can grow up safe and loved, and with every opportunity they deserve.
To those of you who worked your hearts out for these victories, including our friends on the ground in Virginia, New Jersey, and more: thank you. I am so proud to be on your team.
As we celebrate today, we also have to remember the work ahead of us. The groups that Onward Together supports -- including Swing Left, which is focused on taking back the House -- have been making incredible progress in the fight for 2018 and beyond. We saw again last night that we are at our strongest when we stand together.
Take a moment to celebrate, then consider donating $25 to Onward Together to support this work in the months and years ahead -- we really need you now more than ever.
Onward!

From Hillary Clinton: Celebrate now, but there's work ahead!
Hillary Clinton and Onward Together have every reason to celebrate last night's election results along with all Democrats. If you supported Onward Together, you heard from her today. If you haven't supported them yet, perhaps you want to consider it. The Big Blue Wave began last night. Let's keep it going all the way through this year. 2018 is just around the corner now. Look for Hillary with Seth Meyers on Late Night tonight!
