From Hillary's Onward Together Pac
Raising Campaign necessary cash for 2018 Democratic Candidates & to support the work of other organizations for their GOTV efforts and Candidate endorsement.
ONWARD TOGETHER has fundraised & distributed millions of dollars to smaller orgs who could not exist without a lift upwards.
HRC's endorsment of David Garcia & 4 other candidates running for Governor.
David Garcia is running for Governor in Arizona to fight for working families and against a rigged economy.
David wants Arizona to have top quality schools, good paying jobs and honest government for a change.
David is a husband, dad, veteran and teacher.
As Governor, David Garcia will root out the corruption, fight for education and break the old politics that hold Arizona back.
Hes a working-class, fourth generation Arizonan and an infantry marksman who was raised to value service and integrity.
David is a national education expert who will invest in our schools, the bedrock of our communities, so our children have the best shot at opportunity and the American dream.
This election truly is onward together, or not at all.

Garcia's win is an 'everybody on board together for 2018', effort.

We have work to do.

(67,782 posts)....she's endorsing candidates AND contributing money to their campaigns, not merely endorsing and asking for money.
She's been doing things like this on a national level unwaveringly for 30 years.

(1,406 posts)Here are some of the righteous organizations Onward Together has endorsed, qualified & supported financially.
Alliance for Youth
Arena
Collective Pac
Color of Change
Demand Justice
Emerge America
Indivisible
iVote
Latino Victory
Run for Something
Swing Left

And within each of these organizations, there are hundreds to thousands of people across the country doing the footwork of the unsung heros that all make the fine-functioning machine, The Democratic Party, stand as strong today as it has through the many battles it's fought against the RW, on behalf of the America people.
Human Rights and Equal Rights ~ This is the most basic tenat of the Democratic Party .
Glad to see all who hold this belief doing their part to put fasciam to rest once & for all.

(1,406 posts)An endless row of arms & hands reaching out to him, people crying for him & speaking to him. He took his time as he made his way & it reminded me of the crowds in the audience the day The Beatles arrived!
The man is loved

(18,319 posts)Christine Hallquist is challenging a Republican incumbent governor who vetoed both an increase in the minimum wage and the creation of a paid family leave program.
In addition, because Ms. Hallquist is transgender, campaigning with her would be a show of solidarity after the Trump threat to define that community out of existence just this week.
Polling has 22% of VT voters still undecided. Hopefully BS will make time during his National Tour to stop in his home state to help bring the people of Vermont a governor who will actually sign legislation that ensures a living minimum wage.
On a related note, maybe BS could help Hallquist with fundraising, given his success:
That leaves Sanders with more than $8.8 million cash on hand, a new record in Vermont politics.

(16,975 posts)I saw she's posts the other day that one AA candidate is getting threats. I guess Bernie is going to be in California instead, although California is the most progressive state, so the priorities are odd.

(16,975 posts)liberal California otherwise at this time.
I'm glad to see the majority of voters here are more interested in winning than in becoming distracted with sending messages. Polls show voters seem to have rejected the pleas to dump Feinstein, as they value her experience.
Thanks for the info, lapucelle!

(67,782 posts)One wonders why a candidate would still be fundraising out of state just two weeks before the election with a treasury balance more than 130X his opponent ($8,800,000 vs. $65,000)
On the other hand, as of now Hallquist has received $438,000, her opponent Phil Scott $566,000. She sure could use some help as a historic candidate running against an incumbent in Vermont.

(67,782 posts)...but so far nothing has been contributed to another candidate, despite the closeness of a number of elections around the country.
I know neither of my two Senators, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, haven't gone outside the state to solicit campaign contributions.

George II
(67,782 posts)...has, yet he's still raising funds less than two weeks before the election. And from what I can see on FEC.GOV, he hasn't contributed to any other candidate's campaign, at least yet.
R B Garr
(16,975 posts)Democrats are a real victory like New York, etc. That's a real shame....
MrsCoffee
(5,803 posts)Makes one wonder why he would do such a thing. Not going to be many excuses that make this look any better for him.
