10. What is imperative is what is happening right now, that we get free & fair elections in 2026 much less than '28.

I am not convinced now that we will have free & fair elections in '26 with Trump & Musk alienating so many millions of Republicans right now with their actions, especially regarding Social Security.
As what just happened here in Wisconsin with our state Supreme Court race we will need a massive turnout by Democrats and the Left--no excuses.
