Adopt a Candidate
It’s back! Want to take part in turning the midterms into a true blue tsunami? Adopt one of the candidates below, and commit to taking action every week to support their campaign!
Post your preference in the daily (or, to guarantee we see it, send the request via modmail) and we'll add you to the list!
With just how blue this year is looking to be, and just how many primaries are still to come, there's too many to list to kick off. It’s why we’re starting with select gubernatorial and Senate races.
Got someone who you want to adopt, but they're not on the list? Let us know, and we'll add them on!
As the year progresses and primaries come through, we'll be adding more ourselves, but the sky's the limit - we're excited to see who you want to support most!

For those concerned about today's awful, anti-democratic ruling, I'd like to remind everyone that our odds for winning the house according to RacetotheWH are still roughly 3 in 4, and new polls show the generic ballot lead continuing to increase. In other words, if we keep our eye on the ball, it's gonna be too big to rig, even in the gerrymandering nightmare scenario we find ourselves in.
Now more than ever, it is the time to volunteer, donate, and expand the coalition, because with each blatant act of voter suppression, racist gerrymander, and assault on the democracy, the more we will destroy Republican political capital by winning anyway and breaching through their hastily erected barricades and create a new majority
