Our endorsed candidates, their staff, and dedicated volunteers are busy gathering signatures, making phone calls, knocking on doors, and writing postcards to get on the ballot, get out the vote, and keep or flip their seats blue in November. We at No Dem Left Behind are feeling the excitement as well â weâve been inundated with so many fantastic applications for candidates seeking our endorsement, I wish we could support them all. Unfortunately, as a fairly new PAC, we still have to be pretty selective about how we spend our limited resources, but the good news is, t[he more support we get from folks like you, the more candidates we can endorse going forward.]( Meanwhile, I just want to tell you how excited we are about the candidates we have endorsed so far this cycle. By now, Iâm sure youâre aware of our stellar lineup of endorsed U.S. Senate candidates: Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio, Congresswoman Val Demings of Florida, Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski of Wisconsin, and Marine veteran and anti-corruption activist Lucas Kunce of Missouri. But I also want to make sure you know about the amazing U.S. House candidates we have endorsed and the type of character, work ethic, and knowledge they will bring to the halls of Congress: - FL-19: Dr. Cindy Banyai You may remember Cindy, a college government professor and former competitive boxer, from the 2020 cycle â she was part of NDLBâs inaugural class of endorsees. She didnât win that race, but she ran an impressive campaign, setting fundraising records in her heavily red district and increasing Democratic turnout nearly 5%. When Cindy called to tell me she was running again, I was thrilled â flipping a seat from red to blue takes time and perseverance. You have to build infrastructure, develop a team, establish name recognition, and yes, raise money. Cindy is doing all those things, and I couldn't be more excited to help support her efforts. - CO-04: Ike McCorkle This retired Marine and single dad is a passionate advocate for working-class and rural folks with an ambitious campaign platform modeled after FDRâs âNew Deal.â Heâs an avid hiker who says his love of the outdoors has turned him into an âunapologetic environmentalist,â and his platform is full of innovative, practical ideas for tackling climate change while creating new jobs and making America less dependent on foreign oil. Weâre excited to lend Ike our support. - TX-08: Laura Jones When Laura, a real estate agent and community activist, moved from big-city Houston to rural Texas, she found that she had no high-speed internet access, no local doctor she could visit, and the mail took weeks to get delivered. Laura was in shock about all this and decided to get involved to try and make things better. She started by volunteering with the San Jacinto County Democrats and quickly became Chair, working closely with the Texasâ Democratic Rural Caucus to elect candidates who want to improve rural peopleâs access to health care, broadband, educational options, and job opportunities while preserving the beauty and well-being of the land. Now, sheâs one of those candidates herself, and weâre proud to support her. - GA-14: Marcus Flowers Marcus probably needs no introduction: He became a household name the moment he decided to run against the infamous Marjorie âTraitorâ Greene. Now, Marcus could have sat back and let Marge do all his campaign work for him just by being her embarrassing and treasonous self, but thatâs not his style â Marcus is working his rear end off to show the people of his district why he deserves this seat. Marcus is a phenomenal candidate with an unwavering work ethic â I suppose he gets that from his days serving in the U.S. Army. Every time I call Marcus or anyone on his team, they are hard at work â either out in the community meeting with folks face-to-face, or on the phones raising the funds they need to take this seat back from the QAnon Caucus. I have a few more candidates I want to introduce to you, but first, Iâve got to ask for one thing: Both our House Fund and Senate Fund both could use some love today from you. [This isnât a sprint, though, itâs a marathon, so please consider making your donation a monthly one so that we can add a few more names to this already stacked roster of superstars.]( Now, letâs continue with the rundown of our fabulous House slate! - KS-02: Patrick Schmidt Patrick is a former Naval Intelligence Officer, and as a fan of the CBS series NCIS: LA, I have to admit I was a little geeked out getting to meet with him the first time we spoke. What I took away from that meeting was how poised and intelligent he is. During that first meeting, Patrick spoke expertly on the numerous environmental challenges facing Kansas, from lead-contaminated drinking water to the effects of fracking on farming and agriculture, and proposed innovative and achievable solutions for it all. I was blown away by the depth of his knowledge and understanding. That was the trigger that got me to call our staff in and say, âWe have to support this guy.â - MT-01: Cora Neumann Speaking of TV shows, Yellowstone is the big hit show everyone is watching â myself included â and now, weâve got ourselves a candidate from Montana to support! Cora is a health-care expert and activist who ran for U.S. Senate in 2020 before stepping aside for Governor Steve Bullock to run. Cora has already laid down solid campaign foundations in Montana and has the name recognition and the experience needed to win this brand-new district. I told her that I can't wait to visit her in Montana to check out the breathtaking scenery in person, meet the good people of her state, and help spread the word that Cora rocks! - IA-01: Christina Bohannan Christina is a state lawmaker and legal professor running to unseat Republican Marianette Miller Meeks. This is one of the closest races weâre involved in â itâs literally a 50-50 district that the GOP incumbent won in 2020 by only 6 votes. The differences this time are 1) The district lines have been redrawn since then to make the district slightly less Republican, and 2) We have a charismatic, highly intelligent superstar on our side who will tilt the scales in our favor. Folks, Iâm beyond thrilled with the spectacular lineup of candidates we already have in the mix. I hope weâll be able to endorse more after the primaries, but to do that, I need your support now. [So please, chip in today, and letâs remind the country that Democrats are the real party of rural America and the working class!]( --Hassan Martini, Executive Director, and the No Dem Left Behind team No Dem Left Behind is a federal PAC focused on building a base of support for progressive values in rural America.
