Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a long time registered Democrat writing to express my concern over the apparent lack of investment in the Louisiana senate runoff this December as expressed in recent articles on Politico, Bloomberg, The Times-Picayune, and The Town Talk.
Trump and other Republicans on the ballot dealt a devastating blow to our party and the years of progress we’ve made, but they have not yet overrun the senate. As of now, they only have a small majority. A win for Louisiana Democrat candidate Foster Campbell could mean the difference between a successful or unsuccessful filibuster. With the Republican party’s stated goals of undoing the Affordable Care Act and passing the First Amendment Defense Act, it couldn’t be more important for us to have as many Democrats as possible in the senate.
It is true that Republicans showed up to vote in record numbers on November 8th and that Trump won by a strong majority in Louisiana, but the December runoff election does not have Trump on the ticket and as such, may not draw nearly as strong a Republican crowd. Just last year, Democrats in Louisiana elected the south’s only Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards. A win or loss for Foster Campbell could simply be the difference of money spent on advertising and ground campaigns geared toward making Louisiana Democrats feel empowered to make a change and stop the worst of Trump’s policies from coming to fruition.
For these reasons, I ask that you (Option A: please employ whatever power you wield to push funding and advertising for the Louisiana senate runoff race) (Option B: please use your considerable influence as [profession] to draw attention to this race by extending a public endorsement of Foster Campbell in this race).
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
My Name
