Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes are extremely critical. As Pennsylvania has gone, so has the nation in nine of the last eleven presidential elections. Pennsylvania also has a Senate seat (Bob Casey’s) which will be critical to hold if Democrats are to maintain their slim majority in the US Senate. With respect to Pennsylvania state politics, Democrats have a key chance to hold onto their slim majority in the Pennsylvania House and a chance to eat further into Republicans’ lead in the Pennsylvania Senate.
Power Up Pennsylvania Fundraiser
Join us on September 23rd at 8 PM ET for a high-energy Zoom fundraiser to raise $50,000 to support four incredible candidates who are ready to bring real change to Pennsylvania: Janelle Stelson, Ashley Ehasz, Sara Agerton and Anna Payne.
Janelle Stelson, an Emmy award-winning journalist, is running to unseat MAGA extremist Scott Perry in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. Meanwhile, U.S. Army veteran Ashley Ehasz is fighting to flip the Biden +6 1st Congressional District blue. Sara Agerton is working to turn PA House District 88, while Anna Payne is campaigning to win PA House District 142. Their victories are key to maintaining Democratic control of the Pennsylvania state legislature and preventing Republican efforts to undermine presidential election certification and the people’s will. Your support can help these remarkable candidates reclaim the U.S. House of Representatives and stop Donald Trump’s ongoing attacks on our democracy.
Pennsylvania Letter Writing Campaign
We’re partnering with the AFL-CIO community affiliate, Working America, on one of the most effective mail campaigns of 2024. Our personalized letters, combined with door-knocks, texts and phone calls touch on health care, one of the top concerns for these likely voters.
Why Come to Bucks County?
Bucks County is the quintessential purple county in Pennsylvania. There is so much at stake here, from a flippable Congressional District (PA-01) to many critical state legislative seats. Our focus will be Bensalem, one of the most populous municipalities in Bucks County, with a diverse community that includes a substantial Southeast Asian population from the Indian state of Gujarat.
