UPDATE: Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) challenged ourselves to recruit 100 new sustainers—donors who support PDA with automatic monthly payments—by Election Day. We gained dozens of new Change Makes Change sustainers toward our goal. We fell short by a few dozen, so we're extending the deadline. If you're not yet a sustainer, will you please click here now to help us reach our goal of 100 new sustainers by the end of November?

Below, please see the list of House candidates Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) endorsed, listed by state and district. Many won. Some lost. We're not backing down or backing off. We need Keith Ellison as the Chair of the DNC, and we can't capitulate to President Trump. 

Get The Most Bang for Your Buck: Sustain PDA!

Russell Freedman (MA, $200/month sustainer) writes, "I am a monthly sustainer for PDA and glad to do it. I have 4 grandchildren and I give some money each month in their names: Sam, Jake, Max and Rosie. From climate change to healthcare, peace, and justice, I feel that PDA gives me the biggest bang for my buck and the best investment I can make for the future of all of our kids and grandkids."

Please join us making automatic sustainer donations

Jenise Porter, (AZ, $10/month sustainer) writes, "What I love about 'Change Makes Change' is that I don't have to remember when or how much I last gave to PDA. My contribution is helping to move our political system to the left without me even having to think about it."

Dawn Dershem, (CA. $75/month sustainer) writes, "My monthly donation is my way of supporting those of you who are working so hard to make my dreams come true... As I get older, it becomes more difficult for me to take physical political action, but I can still share my limited retirement check with PDA who will continue to do this important work for me."

Please join Russell, Jenise, Dawn, and many of us as a monthly sustainer.

To achieve the progress we need, we still need dozens of new sustainers this month. We want to recognize those who dig deep to help sustain PDA as monthly sustainers. "Change Makes Change" helps us more budget and make plans by relying on a steady flow of your generosity. Thank you! We couldn't do anything without you. If you're not yet a sustainer, please click here now to help us reach our goal of 100 new sustainers by Election Day.

My husband Larry and I have been PDA sustainers for years. We see these donations as investments in a better future—for us, and like Russell, especially for our kids and grandkids. We want to leave them a more peaceful, livable world with guaranteed high quality healthcare for all, and a meaningful voice in their workplace, community, and nation.

PDA is still working to pressure Congress by sending more progressives there, and by challenging comfortable incumbents with Progressives. Please pitch in $500, $50, or whatever you can to help us send Progressives to Congress! Money tight? Then sign up with Mike "Phone Guy" Fox to make calls from your own home.

In solidarity,

Your Progressive Democrats of America National Team
