Yes, we’re backing primary challengers – but we’re also flipping red seats. Here’s our plan.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions this week since we announced our $20 million initiative to primary ineffective, out-of-touch Democrats, John:
Is Leaders We Deserve only focused on primary challenges now?
Let us be clear: NO. Our mission hasn’t changed. We’re here to elect the next generation of progressive leaders. And that means we’re going to challenge extreme Republicans and the Democrats who are unwilling to fight back hard.
Here’s our plan:
✅ Primary “safe” establishment Democrats who are asleep at the wheel
✅ Flip red-to-blue seats by supporting bold young progressives ready to lead
✅ Replace the aging, ineffective, out-of-touch, asleep at the wheel politicians – no matter the party – with young champions who will show up, speak truth, and deliver for their communities
✅ Elect generational leaders in state legislatures across the country
We’re not in this fight to preserve the same old status quo that has failed our generation. We’re in this fight to win – and transform our politics in the process.
That’s why we’ve committed $20 million to elect bold young leaders in select Democratic primaries and red-to-blue districts in the 2026 midterm elections.
Because let’s be honest: Too many in the current generation of leaders – across both parties – are failing. And we can’t afford to wait around for that to change.
So John, can you pitch in $5 to power our fight to replace MAGA Republicans and do-nothing Democrats alike with a new generation of leaders?

Thanks for being in this fight,
