Our progressive candidates are winning primaries across the nation in numbers that could make all the difference in the world after the November election and change Congress for a generation.
In flip districts and blue districts, voters are rejecting old-guard, out-of-touch, timid Dems that block progress and choosing candidates running on Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and racial equity.
Already this year:
- Dana Balter won a primary to finish the job she started in 2018, flipping a red NY congressional seat.
- Kara Eastman won her primary in NE to finish the job she started last cycle -- flipping a Nebraska purple district to blue!
- Marie Newman won her primary in IL and defeated one of the last anti-choice "Dems" in Congress!
- Jamaal Bowman was victorious over a powerful congressional committee chair in NY!
- Mondaire Jones won an 8-way congressional race for a NY seat open for the first time in 30 years.
- Ritchie Torres won against a right-wing Dem in another open NY seat.
- AOC won re-election against a well-funded corporate Dem challenger in NY.
(After being outspent $12 million to $2 million, Charles Booker narrowly fell short today in Kentucky 45% to 43%...a sad defeat, but a major show of force for progressives!)
And we can win more with your help today! Still to come:
- Candace Valenzuela is running to defeat a Republican in a TX district that just got upgraded from "leans Republican" to "toss up."
- Mike Siegel is running to unseat a TX Republican who votes with Trump 96.4% of the time, and that he came within an ace of defeating in 2018.
- J.D. Scholten is a populist and former baseball player who came 3 points from defeating white nationalist Congressman Steve King in 2018 -- and now faces King's Republican challenger in IA.
- Jon Hoadley is running to defeat one the top Republicans on the Energy & Commerce Committee and one of the worst climate enemies in Congress.
- Sen. Ed Markey is AOC's and Elizabeth Warren's ally and was the first senator to endorse a Green New Deal, and the first senator to reject campaign cash from the Fraternal Order of Police that opposes reform.
- Arati Kreibich is running to defeat a corporate Dem in NJ many call "Trump's favorite Democrat" who organized other conservative Dems to kill House attempts to end child cages at the border.
- Georgette Gomez is running for an open blue seat in CA against an heiress whose billionaire grandparents bankrolled her campaign.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
