Today, Daily Kos Communications Director Carolyn Fiddler announced the organization’s endorsements in a record number of crucial state legislative races essential to flipping eight chambers and preventing another decade of GOP gerrymandering. The organization is pleased to support a diverse slate of 47 Democratic candidates:
“Democrats are facing the most important set of state legislative races in 10 years, and Daily Kos is thrilled to endorse this slate of candidates and work to flip these eight chambers,” said Fiddler. “November 2020 is our last, best chance to stop Republicans nationwide from locking in another decade of artificial majorities in both Congress and in statehouses across the country. Republicans will go to every extreme to ensure their party keeps these chambers as they struggle to maintain both their grip on power and their dominion over the next round of redistricting. The Daily Kos community is eager to provide financial and activist resources to support these Democrats.
“The victories of these Democrats are pivotal to not only ensuring fairer redistricting for the coming decade, but also to positioning our nation for the recovery to come after four disastrous years of Donald Trump—arduous work that will involve all levels of government.”
Daily Kos raised more than $8.7 million for down-ballot candidates in the 2018 election cycle and connected endorsed candidates to hundreds of thousands of small-dollar donors and activists.
Daily Kos is the nation's largest online progressive media and activism hub and leads the way in supporting Democrats across the country, raising over $4.8 million for candidates and campaigns in small, grassroots donations in the 2020 cycle.
