Joe Biden has served his nation as a patriot and Democrat for over 50 years. He reached the pinnacle of his career by being elected President of the United States with more votes than any other candidate in history.
Now, he's doing what he feels is in the best interest of the United States by bowing out of his re-election campaign and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in his place.
I thought about asking people to donate to VP Harris to honor Joe Biden...except that a) she's already raising a mountain of money anyway and b) "Scranton Joe" has always considered himself to be a regular guy...always far more comfortable talking to and being among everyday people at the local level.
In that spirit, I'm asking people to donate to up to 100 Democrats running for competitive state legislative races. These are the campaigns which are often ignored & overlooked, but they're critical to passing sane, decent policies at the local and statewide level.
I've chosen 100 candidates running in competitive races across the 8 swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The list of candidates may change slightly over the final stretch of the 2024 election season.
By default donations will be split evenly across all 100, but you can also pick & choose which ones to donate to using the "customize amounts" tool.
Show Joe how much you appreciate everything he's done by chipping in to some of these campaigns today!
Note: I don't work for any campaign or organization. All donations go directly to the campaigns listed below; I receive nothing.
