Just two weeks after progressive candidates for district attorney and
prosecutor defeated more conservative, anti-reform candidates in Texas and
California, progressives in Illinois and Ohio are looking to build on the
momentum.

Ever since progressives started winning District Attorney and Prosecutor
races, right-wing interests and dark money  groups have been trying to
oust progressives who get elected, undermine their power, and block us
from any further gains.

On Tuesday, three PCCC-endorsed candidates are facing tough, but winnable,
elections. This weekend is crucial – candidates will put donations to
immediate use getting their message in front of voters and bolstering Get
Out The Vote efforts.

Prosecutor candidates and our work to elect them and other progressives in
key battlegrounds across the country? Click here.

* Clayton Harris is running for State’s Attorney in Cook County, IL, the
second largest prosecutorial office in the nation. His race is an
uphill battle, and his opponent is supported by far-right special
interests.
* Matthew Ahn is running for Prosecutor in Cuyahoga County, OH, where
the incumbent’s prosecution has resulted in more death sentences than
any other county in the United States.
* Shayla Favor is running for Prosecutor in Franklin County, OH, where a
"tough-on-crime" Republican held the office until just 4 years ago.

work to elect them and other progressives around the country.

Last week, progressive PCCC candidate Sean Teare defeated incumbent Harris
County District Attorney Kim Ogg, who has opposed cash bail reform and
whose policies have led to crowded jails.

Also in Texas, progressive Travis County District Attorney José Garza
defeated a dark money-fueled challenge from the right.

In California, the AP reports that "One of the country’s most progressive
prosecutors, George Gascón, has advanced to a runoff in his reelection bid
for Los Angeles County’s district attorney, surviving a primary race that
pit him against 11 challengers."

Criminal justice reform candidates are winning all over the country, and
on Tuesday we have the chance to elect 3 more progressive champions. It’s
not too late! Candidates will put donations to work immediately this
weekend for their final Get Out The Vote push.
