Many of you have asked how you might get involved with the upcoming election. Here are four important options.

For Biden/Harris, contribute or volunteer. If you are contributing more than the maximum amount, the Super PACs (like Priorities USA) are doing good work.

Another important initiative is to flip the Senate, which seems possible, and essential no matter who is in the White House. These races are competitive:

• Jamie Harrison (SC) - running against Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham 

• Steve Bullock (MT) - running against RepubIican incumbent Steve Daines

• Cal Cunningham (NC) - running against RepubIican incumbent Thom Tillis

• Al Gross (AK) - running against Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan

• Sara Gideon (ME) - running against RepubIican incumbent Susan Collins

• John Hickenlooper (CO) - running against RepubIican incumbent Cory Gardner

• Raphael Warnock (GA) - running in a special election to fill open seat left by Johnny Isakson

• Theresa Greenfield (IA) - running against Republican incumbent Joni Ernst

• Barbara Bollier (KS) - running for an open seat in Kansas left by Pat Roberts

• Mark Kelly (AZ) - running against RepubIican incumbent Martha McSally

• Amy McGrath (KY) - running against RepubIican incumbent Mitch McConnell

There are many important state races as well. The impact of state government on your life is comprehensive and critical, as we have learned all too well this year, and you have an enormous ability to influence state elections with a relatively small investment.

And, of course, get everyone you know, and anyone else who will listen to you, to prepare to vote. Wear the message. Now is the time.
