I'm just a concerned American citizen doing what I can to help save democracy and the planet for Gen Z by electing as many Democratic candidates as possible at the federal, statewide & especially local (state legislative) levels.
This is not a PAC, it's just a site with links to ActBlue pages where you can donate directly to one, two or dozens of Dems running for office at once. All funds go to the campaigns listed; I receive nothing.

Yesterday three more states were crossed of the 2024 Primary list: Alaska, Florida and Wyoming.
In ALASKA the only result which impacts my fundraising page was in HD-040, where Democrat Robyn Burke came in first. Unfortunately, it turns out I can't add her to the ActBlue page...
Four more states held their primaries yesterday: Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont and Wisconsin.
In terms of my fundraising project, only Minnesota and Wisconsin are relevant, as state races in Connecticut are pretty much all funded publicly, while Vermont is so solidly blue I don't even bother promoting the...

The "pragmatic" philosophy says that you should only support winnable races--that is, candidates running in tossup districts/states, or at least in races where the demographics suggest a reasonable chance of victory instead of "wasting" resources on candidates who have little to no chance of winning.
