PDA met in Western Massachusetts to make history.

We did 3 big things that weekend: (1) We marked the 10th anniversary of PDA;
(2) We celebrated the life of the great Tim Carpenter, our founder, who had passed on much too early only a few days before. But not until he made sure that Senator Sanders would attend our 10-year convention, by making repeated calls to Bernie’s team from his hospital bed;
(3) We publicly launched the “Run, Bernie, Run!” campaign to draft Bernie Sanders to run for President as a Democrat, the very first national organization to do so!

Today, New York State voted. Unfortunately, arcane eligibility rules and rampant irregularities marred this primary, called tonight for Clinton. These factors apparently stacked the deck, creating grave concerns. Disenfranchised Democrats filed lawsuits earlier this week, and we will keep a close eye on those proceedings. Tonight's troubled results only confirm that a substantial number of Democrats—as well as countless independents and others—reject the status quo. That is good news, no matter how the votes came out tonight. 

Last year, Progressive Democrats of America endorsed Rep. Donna Edwards in the competitive Democratic Senate primary in Maryland. It was a very easy decision, because Donna has always been there for us.

Early voting in Maryland starts this week, and Primary day is April 26th. Polling shows the top two candidates within a few percentage points, so you could help make history!

With our help, Bernie has won six primaries and caucuses in a row, going into Wyoming Saturday, where we expect to do very well. While we're celebrating shared success, we understand this is much bigger than Bernie as a candidate or even this presidential campaign.
