While we’re gearing up to fight the billionaires and big corporations that will use the corrupt Trump administration to amass even more wealth and power for themselves, we also need to celebrate some victories the 2024 election produced.
PCCC members volunteered and donated over a million dollars in grassroots donations. Together, we provided campaign support and training to over 600 current and future candidates running for offices from school board to president. Our Call Out The Vote program enabled state and local candidates to make over 20,000 phone calls and send over 130,000 text messages to critical voters.
The wins that came from our work together this cycle will be essential in the fight ahead.

Here is some of what we accomplished together:
- In the U.S. Senate, we helped Ruben Gallego (AZ), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Andy Kim (NJ), Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Elissa Slotkin (MI), and Jacky Rosen (NV). We were the first national group to support Andy when it was risky and successfully swapped him in for the corrupt Robert Menendez. Without these victories, Republicans would be dangerously close to a filibuster-proof 60 votes.
- In the U.S. House, we helped Dave Min (CA-27) keep Katie Porter’s seat, helped Laura Gillen (NY-04), Josh Riley (NY-19), John Mannion (NY-22), and George Whitesides (CA-27) flip red seats to blue, helped Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Angie Craig (MN-02), Andrea Salinas (OR-06), Hillary Scholten (MI-03), Jared Golden (ME-02), Gabe Vasquez (NM-02), Mike Levin (CA-49), Susie Lee (NV-03), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), Pat Ryan (NY-18) keep their seats, and helped Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08), Sarah McBride (DE-AL), and Eugene Vindman (VA-07) keep open blue seats safe in Democratic hands. Dave Tran’s race in CA-45 hasn’t been called yet, but as of right now he is ahead by 36 votes. If he keeps the lead, that will be another flip.
- At the state and local level, we helped secure pivotal victories: breaking the GOP supermajority in North Carolina, defending critical seats in Pennsylvania, and flipping Republican seats in Georgia and Wisconsin, all while growing progressive power. Some notable wins include:
- In Sarasota, FL, the birthplace of Moms for Liberty, PCCC champion Liz Barker unseated a Moms for Liberty-aligned school board incumbent.
- Bryce Berry and Mary Ann Santos flipped seats in Georgia's State House and Nabilah Islam Parkes held her critical toss up seat and increased her margin of victory over 2022.
- Julie von Haefen held her critical toss up seat in the North Carolina House, which allowed Democrats to break the Republican supermajority and give Democratic Governor Roy Cooper veto power.
- Danielle Friel Otten and Leanne Krueger held their key Pennsylvania House seats, allowing Democrats to retain control of the PA House.
- Cesar Aguilar, Seth Blattman, and Lorena Austin all secured victories for Arizona State House within just a few points.
- Brianna Titone, first openly-transgender state legislator elected in Colorado, won her re-election bid.
- Elected Minority Leader Greta Neubauer, Christian Phelps, and Jenna Jacobson to the Wisconsin Assembly, part of their efforts that picked up 9 seats in the Assembly so far.
These victories are proof that our collective action makes a difference.
In the months and years ahead, the stakes and the threats are higher than ever, and it is crucial that Democrats stand up to the billionaires and big corporations that will use this dark time to hurt workers and consumers to enrich themselves even more.
