Russ Feingold for US Senate, Wisconsin

David Nir, in his August 14, 2015 piece on the WI Senate Race between Feingold and the man who unseated him five years ago, Ron Johnson.

From Feingold's campaign website, About Russ.

A lifetime Wisconsin resident, Feingold represented Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate from 1993 to 2011, earning a reputation for doing what’s right, not what’s politically convenient. Whether it was opposing the war in Iraq, serving as an early voice for fiscal responsibility, or being the only Senator to oppose the Patriot Act, Feingold has shown that you can make a difference if you’re willing to speak truth to power.

Wisconsin has been suffering under Governor Scott Walker for years now, it needs the voice of Russ Feingold back in the US Senate and to help bring Democratic voters out to the polls next yearwill see enough Democratic votes to throw some of the Republicans in their Statehouse out of office.

Please consider helping this great progressive champion take back that seat from the odious Ron Johnson.

Kevin Stine for US Senate, Oregon

From his campaign website KevinStine.com:

I’m running for the United States Senate to provide true, progressive, representation that will address the needs, values, and concerns of our beautiful state. I grew up with a single mother in the service industry, and we used social programs to keep us afloat. I don’t have to learn from others what it is like to know struggle. I have lived it, and I will fight for the working class citizens who are trying to get ahead.

Raúl Grijalva US House, Arizona's 7th Congressional District (AZ-07)

Co-founder of the Progressive Caucus in the US House

Champion of Labor, education and the environment.

US Rep from Arizona since 2002 and a 30+ year fighter for progressive issues.

From his campaign website StandWithRaul

As Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), Raúl champions affordable health care for every American, and fights for job creation measures that focus on improving America’s infrastructure and economic base. As a long-standing member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — where he chairs the Education Task Force — Raúl continues to work for comprehensive immigration reform, standing up to those who want to exploit fear, insecurities and hatred to distract voters from the need to resolve common sense policy objectives. He has pushed for adequate funding for English language learners and fair access to quality education for minority communities.

There is also an amazing Voter Advocacy project underway in the state of Virginia called 90for90.org.

I heard yesterday that they've added a brand new supporter to their project ...

The DCCC has officially joined 90for90 as a public supporter of their message that More voters is a GREAT idea. In the words of VP Joe Biden this is a BFD!

I'll be publishing an edition of this Diary "Help Progressives Win" every Saturday going forward. If you have a progressive candidate locally (even a City Council race!) whom you would like to see highlighted here in the future?

Please send me a Kmail message about them!
