Last night, progressives had a HUGE upset in New Jersey!

Bernie Sanders’ former political director and nationally-respected organizer Analilia Mejia defeated AIPAC and the political establishment in a special primary election for Congress.

She was told to not even try. But with 91% of the vote in, she is on top and her lead is growing!

I was there in my home state – knocking doors, giving a rally speech to volunteers, and at the victory party. As Analilia came from 2,000 votes behind to 500 ahead, it was ELECTRIC!

In her speech, Analilia said, "This moment calls on every one of us to be big and bold and brave…What happens in Jersey cannot stay in Jersey." That’s why we are announcing new congressional endorsements in key districts.

If you are mad at the state of the world (and the old-school Democratic establishment), do something about it right now. Donate to help Analilia defeat the Republican in April AND help amazing progressives defeat the establishment in March primaries in Illinois, Texas, California, Michigan, and North Carolina! Chip in here!

Last night was our second big victory in 2 weeks! Progressive Christian Menefee (TX-18) was seated in Congress this week and brought the Republican majority down to 1 vote!

Early wins for progressives set the tone for the entire Democratic Party this year. Reporters and candidates are looking to know whether Democratic voters believe "any blue will do" – no matter how boring or corporate funded – or whether Democrats will fight for families against powerful interests from Trump to ICE to corporate greed.

Analilia ran the Working Families organization in New Jersey. As Harris County Attorney, Christian Menefee has sued corporations, special interests, and Trump, and won real results for working people. Robert Peters got his start organizing with local Chicago organizations and still works with those groups in office today. As Mayor of Evanston, Daniel Biss is going after ICE, standing on front lines with protestors, ordering Evanston Police not to cooperate, and holding "Know Your Rights" events.

Inspiring progressives have the momentum. If you want to help change the trajectory of our country and the Democratic Party, you can right now. Chip in to help Analilia finish the job and help more amazing progressives win upcoming primaries!

Nida Allam (NC-04) is a fearless progressive who is challenging corporate-backed incumbent Democrat Valerie Foushee. Foushee was AIPAC’s single largest investment when she defeated Allam in their first contest in 2022, and she has continued to accept corporate PAC and special interest money. Nida is a leading advocate on affordable housing, universal healthcare, living wage, and more.

Randy Villegas (CA-22) is an educator, activist, and proud son of immigrants who is challenging incumbent Republican David Valadao in what is considered to be one of the most competitive flip opportunities in the country. Randy’s opponents have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations and special interests, while Randy has refused that money and centered his vision for workers and his community.

Donavan McKinney (MI-13) is a state legislator and union organizer challenging incumbent Democrat Shri Thanedar. While Donavan has been fighting for clean air and water, education, and public transit for his district and the people of Michigan, Thanedar has been taking money from corporations and special interests to largely ignore his constituents.

Thanks for standing strong and doing your part.
