Moving forward messaging

We should be looking forward on the coronavirus and future viruses by claiming that we are beating the virus, that we are better prepared for the future, medical teams in place, testing etc, and we can manage what ever comes next.

We should frame the issue of the insurrection as an ongoing threat. We need to spell out what a threat to our democracy is in starker and more descriptive forms. Say things like "they want to overthrow the will of the people" or "they want to throw out your vote or stop you from voting".

Tell voters what you are doing to make the future better and make the democracy stronger.

I'm just sharing some of my thoughts

Everyone running for office should look for a local infrastructure project that benefitted from the bill and put it into their speeches from local races to state races. Instead of saying we got you bridges and road, name them specifically. it should be made personal to people. It's a bridge or road that you drive on daily.
