Executive Summary: Democrats have a clear path to keep the Senate blue in 2024, but we must start investing early in four (4) key races.
- Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
- Senator Jon Tester (D-MT)
- Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
- Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
All four of these Senators have battle-tested experience winning in red and purple states.
Senators Brown (D-OH) and Tester (D-MT) have won their Senate races even while other Democrats lost statewide. They have extensive crossover appeal with Independents and Republicans, and if we can get them across the finish line, Democrats are in an extremely competitive place to keep our Senate Majority.
Our biggest challenge is going to be starting persuasion, GOTV (get-out-the-vote), and advertising campaigns early enough. Ideally, by October 2023.
We cannot let Republicans establish early leads by distorting the record of these Senators. This is our biggest threat.
Therefore, our recommendation is to boost our Senate Majority Fund by $100,000 with early grassroots donations so we can defend these four swing-state Senators starting October 1.

Political Team @ DVP
