While TrueMajority ACTION’s main focus is giving our members the ability to easily communicate what issues they are concerned about to their elected officials, we also believe one of the best ways to create change is to support candidates that share our ideals.
Many of these candidates below are taking on entrenched conservative leaders in Congress, or are running for seats already vacated by scandal. Others are longtime champions of progressive causes who need our continued support.
These donations will be bundled and sent along to the desired candidate from TrueMajorityACTION.
Thanks to our friends at Act Blue for making this possible.

NM-01 (Map)

Attorney General Patricia Madrid is taking on incumbent Heather Wilson in this Democratic district. She is running an exciting campaign appealing to her consistuents who are seniors on the mistakes of the Bush prescription plan and calling for a plan to get out of Iraq. As a third generation New Mexican, she has been winning elections since 1978. Her challenge to Wilson is the best match-up for this seat in 10 years.

VT-Sen (Map)

Arguably the most progressive-minded member of Congress in a generation, Sanders is seeking the U.S. Senate seat vacated by retiring Sen. Jim Jeffords.

Woolsey is a longtime champion of progressive values and advocate for a saner course in Iraq. Earlier this year she co-sponsored the Common Sense Budget Act, the first attempt in modern history to reduce wasted spending on Cold-War era weapons and nuclear missiles, and redirect the savings to schools, kids and feeding the hungry. If there was ever a member of Congress we need to keep in office, Rep. Woolsey is it.
