I don't raise money for challengers to Democratic incumbents very often, but I do make exceptions.
On this page I've included several Democratic candidates who I feel would be more inclined to promote mainstream Democratic values than the incumbent Dems they're challenging.
This doesn't mean that I think the incumbent is a terrible person, just that I feel strongly enough about their performance to date that I think someone else should take the wheel.
I want to be clear: I've supported progressive primary challengers in the past. For instance, I raised a few bucks for Rashida Tlaib in 2018, and I even raised over $1,000 for Summer Lee (one of those being challenged below) in 2022.
I've also raised thousands of dollars for other progressive candidates such as Jessica Cisneros, Marie Newman & Paula Jean Swearengin in the past.
In other words, this isn't personal. If the incumbents in the districts below win their primaries, that's fine.
In the meantime, however, here's who donations to this page will go towards (this list may change over time):
- MI-13: Adam Hollier (challenging Shri Thanedar)
- MO-01: Wesley Bell (challenging Cori Bush)
- MN-05: Don Samuels (challenging Ilhan Omar)
- NY-16: George Latimer (challenging Jamaal Bowman)
- PA-12: Bhavini Patel (challenging Summer Lee)
