A Democratic strategist tells the New York Times this week: "Campaigns don’t need a new 'Plan B' for field. They need a new 'Plan A' because door-to-door canvassing is not going to happen at scale in the 2020 election."
These are some of the progressives who need your help:
Kara Eastman (NE-2) is running to take on Republican incumbent, Don Bacon, who votes in line with Donald Trump 94% of the time and is one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country. Kara is a bold progressive hero who decided to run for Congress on a platform of Medicare for All when her mom had to pay $2,500 per pill for cancer medication. Kara attended our national training and, after PCCC members donated nearly $300,000 to her campaign in 2018, she came 1 point away from defeating Bacon, despite not receiving any real help from the DCCC. Kara's proving you can run ANYWHERE on a bold progressive message and win. The Nebraska primary is this coming Tuesday, May 12. Donate to Kara here. And help Kara Get Out The Vote this weekend by calling voters from home. Click here!
Mondaire Jones (NY-17) is running in a crowded primary for an open blue seat. (The previous Democrat decided to retire.) Mondaire was born in his district that is one of the hardest hit by the coronavirus, and was raised in Section 8 housing by a single mom who worked multiple jobs. He earned a Stanford BA, worked at the Department of Justice, graduated from Harvard Law School, founded a nonprofit, and then returned home to work as an attorney. He’s running on a platform that includes Medicare for All, universal child care, student debt forgiveness, and the Green New Deal. He’s endorsed by Democracy for America, Collective PAC, the Victory Fund -- and Elizabeth Warren! The NY primary has been moved to June 23. Donate to Mondaire here.
Arati Kreibich (NJ-5) is challenging corporate conservative Dem Josh Gottheimer in the delayed NJ primary on July 7. Gottheimer organized other conservative Democrats to kill attempts to end child cages at the border -- an absurd position for someone representing a suburb of New York. He is funded by Wall Street and votes their way. Arati won election as a progressive City Councilwoman, attended our candidate training, and is fighting for Medicare For All, Green New Deal and challenging big-money special interests. Donate to Arati here.
Candace Valenzuela (TX-24) is running to replace retiring Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant in TX-24, one of the most flippable races in the country in 2020. Candace grew up in a military family that struggled financially and was homeless for a time. She went on to become an educator, and then was the first Latina and African-American woman elected to her local school board. She is also one of our training alums, and is endorsed by Elizabeth Warren! After coming in the top two in the Texas primary, Candace advanced to the party's runoff, which has now been pushed back to July 14. Donate to Candace here.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
