Thanks to your support of Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, we were able to boost some incredible candidates to victory:
Cisco Aguilar defeated election denier Jim Marchant, who helped organize a national right-wing slate of candidates under the name “America First”.
Adrian Fontes pulled out a huge victory against extremist Mark Finchem, who’s appeared on QAnon radios and attended the January 6th insurrection.
Jocelyn Benson won her re-election against Trump-endorsed candidate and election denier Kristina Karamo.
Steve Simon received the most votes in the entire state of Minnesota.
Maggie Toulouse Oliver outpaced incumbent Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Shirley Weber became the FIRST Black woman to be Secretary of State in California and Stephanie Thomas became the FIRST Black woman to serve as Secretary of State in Connecticut.
Steve Hobbs was elected following his appointment becoming the first Democratic Secretary elected since 1965 and the state’s first AAPI Secretary.
We stopped election deniers from winning in key states in one of the most historic elections of our lifetimes. And that’s something to be incredibly proud of.
President Obama said it best:
Democracy won this election cycle. And we must continue fighting for it. If you’re with us, chip in anything you can afford today:
Thank you,
Jena Griswold
DASS Chair
