We have a real opportunity to flip a Congressional seat in the 16th District with Paul Nolley, while also reelecting Congressman Eric Sorensen in the 17th. Joe Berning is running for State Senate against Chesney! Closer to home, we're working to elect six County Board candidates this November 3rd.

We are organizing, training candidates and volunteers, and building the infrastructure needed to win—but none of it happens without resources.

Will you step up today with a contribution to fuel this work?

Your support helps us reach more voters, train more volunteers, and turn close races into victories.

We stretch every dollar as far as possible—but we need those dollars to keep going.

If you are unable to come, but still want to make a donation to the local party, please use the Additional contribution part of the form. Also, to assist us in check in the night of the fundraiser, please fill out the name of each person you are paying for. Thank you.
