John,

Flipping Virginia’s entire state legislature from red to blue wasn’t the only big victory for progressives on Election Day last Tuesday.

But before we get to the full list of winners, we have to ask: now that 2019 races are in the books, it’s time to kick 2020 into high gear. Will you help us fuel our work to win big in 2020?

With grassroots support from DFA members like you, progressive candidates in local and state elections all across the country saw success. Here is the complete list of 31 progressives we endorsed who took home wins in 2019:

Arizona:
Kate Gallego, Mayor of Phoenix

Whew, that list was long, but that’s what we like to see!

Our 2019 victories prove that our strategy is working and our progressive movement is growing across all 50 states. These victorious candidates will no doubt make positive change in their communities when it comes to education, criminal justice reform, roads and public transit, and so much more.

Now that Election Day 2019 is behind us, we’re fully focused on 2020, including preparing for one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes.

Will you make a contribution of $5 or more today to jump-start 2020 organizing to get out the vote and take home big wins this time next year?

Thank you for everything you are doing to make sure progressives win! Let’s do it again!
