DONATE to win

Let’s face it. Money is a critical part of a campaign’s success. If we are able to donate to candidates, deciding how to do this can be challenging. The number of requests are overwhelming and fill our inbox every day. Below we offer guidance for ways to donate that we have identified as impactful. We encourage you to largely disregard emotional pleas via text and email. Often the senders are PACS with unclear impact and/or candidates who may not have a real shot at winning. We have worked to vet candidates who are competitive and groups that are worthy of your support.

Feel free to individualize your donations and reach out to us with questions.  Monthly donations are helpful for candidates and groups for budgeting purposes, but one time donations are always welcome as well.

HOUSE CANDIDATES

  • You can donate to individual candidates via these links or to a general fund supporting all of them.

  • In CA, priorities are candidates with very competitive, expensive primaries (Randy Villegas and Marni von Wilpert) or who is a new challenger in a competitive district (Dr. Richard Pan).

STATE PARTIES

States with strong parties have the best records of success in the past few cycles. They are better able to coordinate volunteer energy and resources around key races.  We encourage supporting them via individual donations. States with battleground Senate or House races as listed below are good choices, as is your own.
