I have some very exciting news to share with you today, John:

Last night, DFA-endorsed progressives pulled off huge victories in Arizona, Michigan, and Missouri. In fact, we are waiting on the results in one very tight race, and if that candidate pulls through, we will have swept all of our primaries yesterday.

First, Rep. Rashida Tlaib overcame a well-funded challenge from the establishment to win her primary in Michigan's 13th District. In less than two years in Congress, Rashida has not only become a national force in the fight for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, but a true fighter for her constituents on everything from pension benefits to replacing the lead pipes contaminating the water. It’s clear Michigan voters agree.

Then, Jon Hoadley won the primary in Michigan's 6th District by building a strong, people-powered campaign. This is the roadmap for how progressives will win in November, and it's how Jon will defeat the 17-term incumbent Republican Congressman, Fred Upton.

In Missouri, voters re-elected progressive reformer Tishaura Jones as St. Louis’s Treasurer. And in Arizona, voters elected a half-dozen progressives to local positions throughout the state. These victories were part of a big night for DFA-endorsed progressives across the country.

DFA is proud to have stood with all of these progressive champions from the very beginning, and we still have a few candidates with critical primaries in the coming weeks. What’s more, we will be working hard to make sure we elect even more progressives like them this fall. Will you make a contribution to DFA supporting our efforts to elect progressive champions up and down the ticket?

Thanks for all you do. Your contributions are what made these progressive victories possible. Everything from organizing on the ground and registering new voters to supporting progressive candidates in key races is funded by grassroots contributions.
