Where, precisely, are the downballot Progressives?

[msanthrope]

I'm wondering, because at some point, Bernie is going to conceed, and his war chest should go to deserving Democrats. Who are the downballot Dems who need help? What are the downballot races you are involved in?

[PowerToThePeople]

1. Or it is used for

Bernie 2020, to unseat President Trump?

Or maybe Warren 2020.

Or Timothy Canova 2016.

3. That's unfortunate...we can retake the Senate in 2016. nt

5. Both my senators are Dems

Though they are pro-TPP. Wonder if anyone is trying to primary them?

8. Why are you limiting yourself to your state? nt

9. You asked about downticket races

those are at the state level.

10. A lot of us volunteer in whatever congressional races need us most- for me, that is rarely local.

[PowerToThePeople]

11. I commend you on that.

That is not something I have spare time or money for at my current place.

[bettyellen]

22. thank you! I really just try to do 4-8 hours the weekend before election day. in a small race those

hours go further. A lot of people will just send you a list and script so you can get to it from home. ;-D

If you read a roundup of interesting upcoming races and find a candidate you find compelling just reach out and ask to help them! I'm a bit broke, so I try to do something!

12. Not a chance. Hillary will be downballot cancer.

Toxic to young voter turnout; turbocharges Tea Party turnout.

15. Links to support that supposition? nt

2. Huh, one of your buddies just said Bernie ran out of money.

So I guess nobody gets anything!

If he doesn't get the nom and has money left, I hope he uses it to run as an independent.

[msanthrope]

4. If his campaign is in debt, that's bad news. nt

[bobbobbins01]

6. Its not, some people just like to fling poo.

[dana_b]

16. nope, we'll have his back n/t

7. Precisely two posts in front of yours, on the Latest page.

13. Oregon

Maybe someone could notice that in states where the democratic party supports progressive policies like marijuana legalization- as opposed to being run by someone like DWS who votes to send even medical marijuana users to prison- we do well, even in off election years like 2014.

18. We do so well that the repubs in the state legislature complain about "1 party rule".

Plus don't forget our upcoming minimum wage increases, and our new motor voter rule.

Oh, and free tuition at community colleges.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. I am a big fan of our new Governor

[aidbo]

20. You know, I am too!

I was worried when Kitzhaber stepped down, but I must say that Kate really stepped up!

I think she'll win the special election.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. Russ Feingold in WI but I don't know how far downballot you mean.

I'm sure there are people who know better than me.

Regardless, I don't think this is the year to bet on progressives. Bernie's rather resounding defeat should make that clear.

17. Here's a list of Progressives that Bernie is supporting /coattails
