It’s great so many people are stepping up to become first-time candidates, at all levels of government. But I’m wondering where new candidates — especially down the ticket — can go for institutional support and organizational endorsements. So I’m compiling a list of national progressive organizations that support candidates for state legislature (whether through formal endorsements, publicity or other forms of support).
I’d welcome any additions to the list below, and I’ll try to publish a revised, more comprehensive later in the weekend (at which point I’ll delete the question mark from the headline). Thanks in advance for any crowdsourcing assistance anyone can provide!
As a quick note on the lighter side of things, I have to say I have a special appreciation for the Can You Not PAC, which is encouraging some of us to not run:
