Young voters aged 18 to 36 are swinging elections across the country, flipping seats and deciding races. In Monroe County, they can do the same in 2026, but only if they show up. Our goal this year is to push young Democrat voter turnout to 36%, higher than 2022 and above the national average, through targeted voter outreach and education that meets people where they are: on their phones.
Here's the smart case for texting. A single piece of direct mail to this demographic costs $60,000. One mailer. One touch. Gone in seconds. And this generation doesn't check their mail. For half that cost, just $30,000, we can send 10 or more voter outreach and education texts over the entire election cycle, covering absentee ballot reminders for college students, registration deadlines, Election Day information, and more, all for less than a nickel per message.
Every dollar you give helps fund direct contact with the voters who will decide Monroe County's races in November. Chip in today and help us send 600,000 texts and get out the youth vote!
