We are partnering with Newton County, Georgia, to help win the two U.S. Senate seats necessary to control the Senate and prevent Mitch McConnell from blocking all of President-elect Biden’s programs.
DailyKos readers were very generous in the campaign to enable Natives to defeat Trump by turning Arizona blue. We very much appreciate the hundreds of thousands that poured in to win the presidential and U.S. Senate election in Arizona. Now, we want to do everything we can to help with the two Senate runoffs in Georgia.

Newton County, about 50 miles east of Atlanta, is the hub of five-county congressional district that will be critical in the Jan. 5 election. The grassroots, of course, have not received a dime from the DSCC. So far, they have raised about $20,000 toward their need of $85,000.
They have a good organization, a detailed plan, just need the funding to implement it. They are based on Covington, GA, but their campaign efforts extend all the way into suburban Atlanta’s DeKalb County.
