Had a great time talking midterms, Democratic messaging and what you can do now with the amazing and irrepressible @FPWellman on @OnDemocracyPod. Give a listen and let me know what you think Dems should be saying.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Great show tonight with my friend Kelly Dietrich from @TrainDems at 7pm ET. - LIVE: Trump and GOP INSTANTLY IN PANIC over MIDTERMS | @OnDemocracyPod https://t.co/4W78F6Z9Gu via @MeidasTouch

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

Tonight we're watching @aftynfortn's race closely. She trained with us, built a real campaign, and made the @GOP sweat in a district they thought was safe.

Whatever happens, this is what momentum looks like. This is how we build power.

Great closing ad. Right on message. Every #Democrat can follow her lead.

🚨NEW AD LAUNCH🚨

It’s my birthday, so we’re launching our final ad for the campaign called “Shake Up.”

We’ve got 8 days to make history and to shake up Washington! Donate today to keep our ad on air through the election!

What's scarier than Halloween? Republicans running unopposed in 2026.

Don't let them cruise to victory without breaking a sweat. Make them answer questions. Make them defend their records.

Run for office and give voters a real choice. https://t.co/Rrvez4SYF2

Every year is an election year, and there is likely an important election happening near you in 2025.

Make sure you are a voter this year!

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

With @AndyBeshearKY last night at the @cookcodems fundraiser. Leaders like this prove Democrats can win anywhere when we deliver results. @TrainDems is training the next generation to do exactly that. Let's keep building. 💙

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

We have two options at this moment:

Give up or stand up.

I choose to stand up and remain in the fight for our democracy. If you’re with me, head to https://t.co/Rrvez4SYF2

Be a voter in 2025. Crucial elections are happening, so make sure you have your voting plan:

When are you voting?
Where are you voting?
How are you getting there?
Who are you bringing with you?

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

What gives you hope? That's a question I've been asked a lot recently.

With my work at @traindems, we've seen thousands of everyday people make the decision to step up and serve their communities. People aren't turning away… instead, they're getting in the fight.

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

Each crazy headline is another reason to join the fight for our democracy. It only takes one person to create change in an entire community…

Be that person.

I live in Chicago, and I'm seeing not only the abuse of power by the Trump Administration but also the power of state and local officials in resisting their abuses and overreach.

We need more people in this fight.

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

People want to get off the bench and take action, but they don't know how to start.

My organization, the National Democratic Training Committee, is hosting an Ask Me Anything: What To Expect When You Protest on October 16th at 1 PM ET.

See you there! https://t.co/qpFvlYhh2j

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

Every Republican running unopposed is a missed opportunity to give voters a choice.

Don't let them cruise to victory. Make them answer questions. Make them sweat. Run for office in 2026.

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

Reminder: Democracy isn't a spectator sport. It takes all of us getting involved, taking action, and running for office to protect it.

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

The people destroying public education, ignoring climate change, and rigging the economy for billionaires...

…they all started by organizing their communities. So should you. Run for office and start building local power.

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

March Madness taught me everything about Democratic politics: championship teams have bench depth.

We've got talented people sitting in the stands who should be suiting up to play. Democracy isn't a spectator sport – get in the game. https://t.co/Rrvez4SYF2

[Kelly Dietrich @KellyNDTC]

Get Out The Vote isn't just Election Day.

It's when you shift most of your focus from persuading new voters to mobilizing the supporters you already identified.

Your job shifts from "vote for me" to "here's how to vote for me."

Running a campaign without a GOTV plan is like coaching a basketball game without knowing the score. You might feel busy, but you might also be losing.

Don't wing it… we'll teach you the fundamentals for free. https://t.co/5QJ9CIUhRe

Every Democrat should subscribe and read Will Robinson regularly.

Policy is not messaging. Values beat policies, and emotion beats information.

The Democratic Party’s “Atrocious” Brand Isn’t a Messaging Problem—It’s a Mindset Problem
