This year, we handed corporate PACs one of their biggest losses ever.
Ever since the Citizens United decision opened the doors for nearly unlimited corporate spending in our elections, powerful special interests have poured millions into buying off politicians. This year, their total spending reached an all-time high of over $730 million—a 60% increase from 2024.
This spending was squarely meant to crush candidates fighting for working families—many of whom we endorsed on our 2026 slate, like Abdul El-Sayed and Sam Forstag. They knew our champions would stand up for everyday people instead of corporate profits, so they tried to buy their opponents a win—and their vote once in office.
Our candidates won in huge numbers and proved that voters want leaders who will fight corporate power.
Now, Democrats hold majorities in the House and Senate. They can stop disastrous bills from Donald Trump that give handouts to billionaires and conduct real oversight of companies ripping off people already struggling to get by.
This is what happens when organized people stand up to big money. When supporters like you chipped in as little as $5, it allowed us to back candidates who took on corporate interests. We know this is a winning strategy, and we’re ready to keep it going into the next election.
We need you with us to elect more progressive champions in 2028. Can you help us lay the groundwork with a donation of just $5 or more today?
