Progressive Democrat Issue 96: A MESSAGE FROM JIM DEAN (Democracy for America)
Democracy for America members are amazing! You've seen the national news. Let me give you a taste of what you may not have seen yet...
*One of the fifty-three Congressional seats in California switched hands. DFA Grassroots All-Star Jerry McNerney defeated Richard Pombo in a campaign with important implications for our environment.
*In Massachusetts, Deval Patrick swept to victory, becoming that state's first African-American governor.
*In North Carolina, DFA-List candidate Ty Harrell helped the Democrats regain control of the state House for the first time since 1994.
*In upstate New York, nine months after a DFA Training Academy seminar in the 20th Congressional District, Kirsten Gillibrand won her exciting race against John Sweeney. [Note: See Gillibrand's comments elsewhere in this newsletter]
*In the Granite State, Democracy for New Hampshire-endorsed candidates won dozens of races and took the state House and Senate for the first time since the Civil War.
*Change for Kentucky ran radio ads in the last week of the election and won an important Urban County Council race.
*In Orlando, Scott Randolph won an upset against a two-term incumbent. Scott will bring experience and integrity to the state House in Tallahassee, Florida.
*There's going to be a new Secretary of State in Ohio. Jennifer Brunner won!
*In an incredibly important ballot initiative battle, South Dakota voters rejected severe restrictions on a woman's right to choose.
Thank you for all that you've done,
Jim Dean
