A Donor Strategy to Put Progressives in the Lead |
||||
Early support of progressives helps to shape the race. We start our search for viable progressive candidates and then focus on candidates who promote peace, democratic participation, public education, public financing of elections, fair and progressive taxes, candidates who represent low-income and people of color, and candidates in with whom our clients can maintain relationships. Deliver your contributions through a progressive champion who represents a low and moderate-income district and is a leader on your priorities. She gets credit for delivering contributions to other candidates, to the DCCC or DSCC, and that raises her status and influence in the Congress and the party. Make campaign contributions to a Leadership PAC sponsored by an elected incumbent. Leadership PAC funds are spent on other candidates. One example is “One Voice,” which supports a strategic and principled progressive woman of color asserting leadership, bolstering viable progressive challengers and vulnerable progressive incumbents. Rep. Barbara Lee is the Honorary Chair. Add more value to your contributions: bring the achievements
of the candidates you support to the attention of Democratic Party leadership.
Advocate for Party dollars to support the campaigns of progressives. Remind
Party operatives there are money and votes in going progressive. For details, you may contact the research team at the Partnership by clicking here. |
