BREAKING NEWS: KARA EASTMAN BIG CONGRESSIONAL VICTORY!

Kara Eastman just demolished her opponents in the Nebraska congressional
primary, putting her a big step closer to replacing a Donald Trump rubber
stamp with a bold progressive...in a red state!

PCCC members donated $300,000 to Kara's campaign in 2018 -- and she got
49% against the Republican incumbent with no help from the establishment.
This year, national Dems see this as a prime pickup opportunity. Thousands
of us chipped in to her victory tonight, The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) endorsed
her on the PCCC email list this week, and Kara is ready to finish the job!

Her opponent actively campaigned against Medicare For All, a Green New
Deal, and big ideas...and Kara won by inspiring people.

Other great progressives have won the nomination and face tight races in
November, and a few neck-and-neck primaries are around the cornder. With
the coronavirus, candidates are spending extra on virtual town halls,
extensive phone programs, texting, and online ads.

election campaign and several amazing bold progressives running for
Congress in tight upcoming elections. Click here.

Bold progressives Mondaire Jones (NY-17) and Dana Balter (NY-24) are up
next with the New York primary on June 23.

Just like Kara, Dana came within striking distance of defeating her
Republican incumbent opponent in 2018, and is back to finish the job in
2020. Dana is a community organizer, professor, and researcher into
publicly funded elections. She’s also a lifelong advocate for people with
disabilities, starting with her beloved younger brother Jonathan. She’s
running for Medicare For All, women’s rights, universal pre-K, and higher
wages for workers. [ [link removed] ]Rush Dana a donation here.

Mondaire is running in a crowded primary for an open blue seat in a
district hit hard by the coronavirus. Some of Mondaire's opponents can
donate millions to their own campaigns, and some are taking money from
corporate PACs and fossil-fuel lobbyists. Meanwhile, Mondaire is running
on a platform that includes Medicare for All, universal child care,
student debt forgiveness, and the Green New Deal, and his campaign is
fueled by small-dollar donations. [ [link removed] ]Can you rush a donation his way?

The New York primary holds extra significance this year, as ground zero
for the coronavirus pandemic, and an early referendum on the Trump
administration's response. With new hot spots spiking across the country,
more and more Americans will relate to New Yorkers' experience. Let's send
a strong message about the kind of leaders voters want to see replace
Trump and his cronies.

In this moment, we need more #WarrenDemocrats -- folks who are ready to
take serious action in this crisis. As Mark Ruffalo said to PCCC members
recently, "We need more members of Congress willing to challenge power,
fight for working people, boldly fight the climate crisis, and think big
to solve our current healthcare crisis."

[ [link removed] ]Here are progressive congressional candidates who need your help
retooling their campaigns in this coronavirus world. Please chip in what
you can to their races today:

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, 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. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Mondaire's campaign here.

Dana Balter (NY-24) is a bold progressive champion who is fighting for a
fair shot at success for everyone -- that means getting to Medicare for
All; an economy that works for working families; and a political system
free from the influence of big money. In one of the last two
Republican-held Hillary Clinton districts, Dana is just 2 1/2 points away
from defeating the incumbent who is a rubber stamp for Donald Trump,
making this a top pick-up opportunity in the country. Her primary is on
June 23. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Dana's campaign 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. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Arati's campaign 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. [ [link removed] ]Chip
in $1 to Candace's campaign here.

Mike Siegel (TX-10) is running to unseat Republican incumbent Michael
McCaul, who votes with Trump 96.4% of the time. Mike nearly beat McCaul
last cycle — with no institutional support. Mike is a former union
organizer, public school teacher, and an Austin city attorney who took on
Texas Republicans to demand gun reforms. As a civil rights lawyer he also
sued employers on behalf of women who experienced workplace discrimination
and whistleblowers who suffered retaliation. Mike is endorsed by local and
national unions, and by the Sunrise Movement for his commitment to the
Green New Deal. He ran in a competitive primary on Super Tuesday, coming
in first but advancing to a runoff that has now been pushed back to July
14. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Mike's campaign here.

Georgette Gómez (CA-53) is running for an open blue seat against Democrat
Sara Jacobs, an heiress whose billionaire grandparents bankrolled her
campaign via a richly-funded Super PAC. Georgette is a first-generation
American, the daughter of immigrants. As she says, she had "the privilege
of documents" and her parents did not, and as a result, she saw how much
they struggled against the system. She spent a decade as a community
organizer working on environmental justice, land use decisions and the
impacts of heavy industry, and then became the first queer Latina member
of the San Diego city council, where she chairs the transit system and put
forward a resolution against the border wall. She is endorsed by the
California Democratic Party, the California Federation of Teachers, SEIU,
UNITE HERE, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Georgette's
campaign here.

Jon Hoadley (MI-06) is running against Congressman Fred Upton, former
chair of the Energy Committee and one of the worst Republicans on climate.
Jon is one of the few openly gay members of the Michigan state legislature
and has been a champion for progressive issues throughout his career. He
supports Medicare for All, expanding Social Security, and the Green New
Deal. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Jon's campaign here.

Rep. Katie Porter (CA-45) regularly goes viral on YouTube by grilling big
corporate executives. As a single mom who spent years advocating for
consumers (like her mentor, Elizabeth Warren), she flipped a red district
by focusing on how issues impact real families. She is bold -- and was the
first red-to-blue freshman to call for impeachment. Katie says, "I’m
grateful to the Progressive Change Campaign Committee for all the
fundraising, volunteers, and support" in 2018 -- including over $165,000
through 13,000 donations to her campaign. [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Katie's
campaign here.

J.D. Scholten (IA-4) is a populist former baseball player who came 3
points from defeating white nationalist Congressman Steve King in 2018!
J.D. says "a Green New Deal to pursue environmental justice, create jobs,
improve infrastructure, and combat climate change must bring rural
communities to the decision-making table and address Big Ag monopolies
that are squeezing out small and family farmers." He tells supporters, "If
you're lucky enough to be in the 1%, this government is working for you"
and that America must move toward a goal of Medicare For All, ensuring
that all Americans have comprehensive, affordable, and quality health care
coverage. The IA primary is on June 2. Chip in $1 to J.D.'s campaign here.

Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) is a progressive who was elected to serve in a red
district last November. A clean energy advocate, Mike was an original
co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, and he has been appointed to the Select
Committee on the Climate Crisis because he believes climate change to be
the most pressing issue of our time. Mike refuses to accept corporate PAC
contributions and is grateful to the thousands of PCCC Members who stepped
up to help him win in 2018! [ [link removed] ]Chip in $1 to Mike's campaign here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
