We have added seven amazing candidates to our slate of 2018 Sister Races. This brings our total number of candidates to 21. There will be more to come as more primary elections pass.

What is so exciting about these races is that each state we have selected brings great strategic opportunity for Democrats, beyond the opportunity to flip these particular seats. In Michigan, there is an initiative on the ballot this year to amend the constitu tion to establish an independent redistricting commission and to make voting more accessible and secure. In Arizona, we have the opportunity not only to flip the senate and a slew of house seats, but to also break up a powerful Republican trifecta state. And in Pennsylvania, the new congressional maps create rich opportunity to win congressional seats while getting out the vote for our state candidates. Energizing voters for our candidates will boost these larger strategic efforts.

In just two months, our volunteers have raised over $82,000 in small dollar donations for our first wave of candidates. Our 65+ teams have held incredible fundraising events and are also already working the phones, writing postcards, and planning trips to knock on doors. This is how we are going to take back our country. If you want to get active and make meaningful, strategic change, join us now — it’s never too late to make a difference!
