It’s time to support candidates who believe that effective government is a necessary tool to preserve democracy. We have too long endured the inept leadership of those whose only goal is to blindly support big corporations while ignoring those who work for a living. Your support can help our voices be heard.

James Webb

VA-Sen (Map)

James Webb ran the ultimate people-powered primary campaign, winning his primary against his institution-backed opponent despite huge disadvantages in fundraising. Put an end to George Allen’s presidential bid and help elect this former Secretary of the Navy. Virginia bloggers have led the way showing the power of the netroots to create buzz and organization for good candidates, and Webb has not disappointed, quickly catapulting the Virginia Senate race—seen as sleepy just a few months ago—to one of the most interesting and seriously contested in the nation.

Ned Lamont

CT-Sen (Map)

Ned Lamont will fight for affordable health care, energy independence, and the protection of Social Security. He will fight to refocus our efforts on the global war on terror, while continuing to protect our civil liberties. In short, Ned Lamont will be the strong Democratic voice for Connecticut that the voters deserve.
Businessman and progressive Ned Lamont is challenging right-wing Democrat Joe Lieberman in the primary for the Senate seat in Connecticut. It’s time to let the Republicans know that Democrats believe that voters and elections are important. Show Republican Joe Lieberman that his politics is the politics of the past, and progressive politics is the politics of the future.

Joseph Sestak Jr

Vice-Admiral Joe Sestak is running to unseat crazy Republican incumbent Curt Weldon. This is a huge strategic pressure point, a very winnable race, a reality-based fighting Dem, and a crazy, quite possibly corrupt Republican incumbent.

John Barrow

GA-12 (Map)

Elected to Congress in 2004, John has proven to be an independent and effective representative for the people of Georgia’s 12th District.

Jon Tester is now facing a very vulnerable Conrad Burns. Burns is embroiled in scandal, but he is an excellent campaigner. Montana is a cheap media market, so dollars here go a long way.

Jerry McNerney

CA-11 (Map)

Californians deserve a partner in Washington who values sustainable, clean energy, a sound national security and a robust economy. That partner is Jerry McNerney whose informed, honest approach to public service is needed in Washington now more than ever.
Jerry McNerney is not just the next netroots candidate—he is also the next progressive movement candidate. Already, he has won the Democracy for America Grassroots All-Star voting, and three weeks ago his people-powered campaign comfortably defeated the DCCC backed candidate in a contested primary. He entered politics as part of the 50-state strategy, and because his son joined the Air Force after September 11th. Eschewing the politics of triangulation in favor of a progressive message, he is a wind energy expert who has a Ph.D. in math.

Sherrod Brown

OH-Sen (Map)

By supporting Sherrod Brown, you’re supporting more than just a progressive vote in the U.S. Senate. Sherrod is a proven leader on issues that matter to the progressive grassroots. He’s certainly one of the very best candidates the Democrats have running for Senate this year—and he’s running against a corrupt, rubber stamp incumbent who has been for every major Bush policy initiative—from unfair trade policies and unfair tax policies, to destroying Social Security and attacking and occupying Iraq. There is no clearer choice anywhere in the country between progressive and dynamic Sherrod Brown and reactionary and inert Mike DeWine.

Eric Massa

NY-29 (Map)

Eric Massa is a fighting Democrat in the 29th district in New York facing first term Congressman Randy Kuhl. The first term is when most new Congressmen are defeated, so this is a good time to go after Kuhl. Massa’s military background and whip smart common sense leadership style make him perfect for this rural district.
Wes Clark says, “Eric was my special assistant both when I had the Southern Command in Latin America and later when I had the European Command as NATO Supreme Allied Commander. I have personally witnessed Eric’s remarkable character and his tremendous leadership abilities.”

Claire has dedicated her life to listening to the needs of working families, holding government accountable, and ensuring public policies benefit the people, not the special interests.

Patrick Murphy

PA-08 (Map)

Patrick is not only supported by the local netroots scene in Philly, he is a member of the local netroots scene in Philly. He is an Iraq war vet who supports Murtha’s withdrawal plan, and a dynamic, young speaker who has the potential for progressive greatness. This is a winnable district, one that both Gore and Kerry won by around 4%, and is backed up by the nation’s strongest local netroots scene. This is also the district where the netroots made history by supporting Ginny Schrader, and where the incumbent, Michael Fitzpatrick, is trying to curb the netroots through federal legislation.
