Let’s talk local races, John.

While Washington is plagued with partisan gridlock, local offices like city council have the potential to make real, lasting change in their communities.

That’s why DFA is proud to endorse these eight progressive local city council candidates running for office across the country:

Kendra Brooks, City Council At-Large, Philadelphia (PA)
Terry Brown, City Council District 3, Charlotte (NC)
Carrie Hartman, City Council, Maumee (OH)
Zack Quintero, City Council District 2, Albuquerque (NM)
Shenise Turner Sloss, City Commissioner, Dayton (OH)
Jeff Wise, City Council Ward 3, Lakewood (OH)
Ashton P. Woods, City Council At-Large 5, Houston (TX)

Plus our very own Communications Director, Neil Sroka for City Council in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan! (Make us proud Neil!)

All of these candidates will work to not only make sure the potholes are filled and budgets are balanced, but they’ll also take meaningful action on issues like criminal justice reform, climate change, and income inequality.

Each of these council races is in a critical state for the 2020 election -- meaning that investments in these small, local races will lay the foundation for the organizing needed to win BIG in a presidential year.

Help us create real change for our communities by investing in these important local races. Chip in $5 now to help DFA uplift these candidates and elect even more progressives up and down the ballot.
