Dollars for Democracy began fundraising for Democratic candidates in the 2022 mid-term elections. It started with Paul and Bill raising money from friends. The concept clicked with many people and now several others have joined our group, including Jim, Brian, Ruth, Sylvia, Masood, Tim and Greg.
Together, we are a group with experience as attorneys, senior California government officials, public finance professionals, a foundation executive, a business valuation expert and a former head of the Ad Council. We’re not political professionals, but bring our analytical and strategic capabilities to the urgent task of how to deploy our money in the 2024 elections. With help and guidance from Swing Left, we believe we have a coherent strategy to make a difference this year.
Simply put, our motivation is to cut through the thousands of fundraising texts and emails we get. Many appeals come from great candidates, but we have a limited amount of money to spend. It must be deployed most efficiently to ensure Democrats control one or more branches of our government.
If you like this idea, we invite you to share this website with your friends and colleagues. We also welcome your feedback, suggestions and help. You can reach us at info@dollars4democracy.org.
The stakes couldn't be higher. If all of us don't do what we can we may end up in a country we don't recognize.
In 2022, we focused on the Senate — keeping the Senate under Democratic control or even increasing the margin. We supported four candidates who won, and a few who lost. But they were all close races where the candidates needed the money.
And the result? Democrats took control of the Senate with a one vote larger margin!
Dollars for Democracy works with Swing Left's Giving Circles program which assists us on strategy, analysis and support. Swing Left builds grassroots participation in winning elections for the Left.
