It's time, John!
Today we’re officially launching our 2020 Presidential Primary Endorsement Poll.
As a a member-driven, people-powered PAC with a one-million strong community that has contributed over $63 million dollars and made more than 25 million calls to elect over 1,000 progressive candidates up-and-down the ballot nationwide, our goal is to empower our members to vote — and to get out the votes of their friends and family — to decide which presidential candidate DFA should endorse in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary.
The poll is only open until 11:59 pm PT on Sunday, March 1st, so get your vote in ASAP!

In 2016, our endorsement of Bernie Sanders had a huge impact on the race: with a massive outpouring of grassroots support from members like you, we raised $2 million, held 119,000 volunteer phone shifts, helped knock on over 5 million doors, and contribute to dozens of critical media hits from CNN to the New York Times supporting and defending our candidate while keeping the focus on our positive progressive vision for America.
And we’re ready to do it again for the candidate that wins our 2020 endorsement, as long as there is overwhelming support for one candidate in this race. That means just like when we conducted our last official presidential endorsement vote for the 2016 primary, we will only endorse if one candidate reaches DFA's super-majority threshold of 67% (two-thirds of votes cast, or 66.67% to be technical about it).
That’s why it’s critical that just like in a real election, you’ll need to work hard to maximize support for your candidate if you want them to win this endorsement. That means getting your friends, family and other like-minded progressives to cast their votes for your candidate as well — on Facebook, Twitter, over email, on the phone, or however you want to spread the word!
We’ll be securely reviewing and announcing the results of this poll on Monday, March 2nd, right before Super Tuesday – so there’s no time to waste!
Happy voting!
