HUGE NEWS! Tons of PCCC-endorsed candidates won races across the country last night.

Thanks to training, coaching, and direct donations from people like you, progressives defeated fascists and insurrection sympathizers running for school board, battleground legislative seats, and other important state and local races.

Specifically:

• 63% of our 200 endorsed candidates won!
• 22 endorsed school board candidates won! Many defeated "Moms For Liberty" MAGA extremists.
• 19 of our endorsed state legislative candidates won, including 17 in Virginia!
• We helped flip a Mayor’s seat that had been Republican for 14 years!
• We helped flip a County Council in Pennsylvania in an area crucial for 2024!

And late last night at 10:14pm, Joshua Cole (who we endorsed in August) flipped a Republican Virginia Assembly seat. This puts Democrats 1 seat up to take back that chamber, a giant check on Governor Glenn Youngkin’s zealous anti-abortion agenda.

Do you want more victories (and deep voter turnout) in key states in 2024? Please chip in $3 (or $20.24 if you can) to support our work training, funding, and electing progressive battleground candidates across the nation next year.

Karl Frisch, who won re-election to the Fairfax School Board in Virginia says, "When somebody decides to run for office, it is an enormous undertaking. PCCC's candidate training really helped flesh out what to do, and how to run an effective campaign that gets my message in front of the voters I need to win."

In three key states -- Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania -- 61 winning PCCC-endorsed candidates not only won, but drove turnout in a way that will be important for local candidates to do in 2024 to help win the presidential race.

Your donation can help fund more victories in 2024 like these PCCC victories in 2023:

Two PCCC-endorsed Virginia legislative candidates flipped Virginia House seats held by Republicans for decades.

25 PCCC victories in Virginia included Dominique Chatters, who soundly defeated a right-wing activist for a seat on the Chesterfield School Board.

22 PCCC victories in Pennsylvania included all 5 of the progressive school board candidates in State College who defeated right-wing Moms for Liberty aligned opponents. Winners were Amy Bader, Gretchen Brandt, Anne Demo, Dan Kolbe, and Aaron Miller.

14 PCCC victories in Ohio included 3 progressive women in Golf Manor who swept their village council races, unseating Republican incumbents. Winners were Brittany Kreimer, Melody Mayle, and Charlotte Bruewer.

In Virginia, Randy Riffle defeated a far-right extremist to flip a long-time Republican school board seat in Williamsburg-James City. Dominique Chatters soundly defeated an extreme far-right activist for a seat on the school board in Chesterfield County. Amanda Pohl narrowly defeated an incumbent Republican in another Chesterfield County race.

In Pittsburgh, 5 progressive leaders were elected to the city and county councils.

In Ohio, Alison Fiscus narrowly defeated 2 far-right Republican opponents for a school board seat in Maumee.

In Indiana, 22 year old Dylan Liddle unseated a corrupt, extreme Republican for a key seat on Lawrenceburg City Council. Brandon Sakbun defeated a 14-year incumbent Republican for the Terre Haute Mayors seat.

The list goes on and on...

We have even more ambitious goals for local endorsements and candidate training in 2024. We can only fund this candidate support with your help.

Can you donate $3 or more to help us build out our 2024 Champions program to support state and local candidates across the country, and drive turnout for the entire Democratic ticket?

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
