Friend, Midterm elections are only a few months away, and candidates are gearing up for races across the country. To help folks learn more about various candidates, we’ve released a Candidate Report and scorecards which highlight where the 2022 candidates for select midterm campaigns stand on issues that are most relevant during the present political moment.
As we approach the primaries and November 8th, we hope this report will inform voters of candidates’ values and equip advocates with content to supplement voter education campaigns. We chose to focus on races where incumbents have a history of accepting Koch donations, and focused on issue areas that align in some way with the Koch network’s regressive political agenda. We view this Candidate Scorecard Report as a pathway to deepen political education, agitate against insufficient narratives within electoral politics, and bring electoral organizers into community-centered campaigns long after the midterm elections. |

Hopefully this report and connected scorecards will encourage deeper conversations about holding our elected officials accountable for serving the will of the people, not corporate funders. In Solidarity, The Team at UnKoch My Campus |

UnKoch My Campus is a project dedicated to disrupting corporate influence on campuses nationwide by equipping campus activists with education, skills, and ecosystems of solidarity. The Koch network is leveraging its donations to colleges and universities to bolster its corporate agenda to halt action on climate change, put hundreds of thousands of people in prison, deny millions of people healthcare, and strip rights and wages from workers globally. We're building a mass movement of young people who are dedicated to disrupting this harm. |
