 Democracy for America stands up for progressive values in any district in every state and supports People Powered Candidates at all levels of elected office -- from school board to the presidency. The candidates below have earned the DFA-List endorsement |
|
2007 Grassroots All-Star In 2006, Charlie, a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel came within 3% points (just 9,000 votes) of upsetting 8 term incumbent John Doolittle, but helped Democratic Party regain the majority in both houses of Congress, and launching an unprecedented grassroots movement that has forever changed the electoral dynamics of the 4th Congressional District. |
 Rick Noriega for Senate, TXRick Noriega is the first 2008 DFA-List endorsed candidate for Senate and our fight to make Congress progressive has never been better. We need someone who will fight to bring our troops home from Iraq. We need someone who will fight for health care for our veterans and our children, for the environment, for education. And we need someone who will fight for all of us, not just Republican special interests. America needs Rick Noriega. |
 Ed Fallon for Congress, IA-03Ed Fallon is a true progressive and he has a record of beating out-of-touch Democrats in Iowa. In 1992, he beat 10-year incumbent Gary Sherzan with 63% of the vote and became a State Representative. When the conservative party establishment tried to primary Ed out of the state legislature, Ed won again with 68% of the vote. Now, with your help, Ed will beat Bush-Democrat Leonard Boswell. |
 Donna Edwards for Congress, MD-04We know where Donna Edwards stands. She is the consistent progressive in the race we can count on to fight for our values everyday, not just during election season. Yet, her opponent Al Wynn has been on the run, flipping positions and double-talking his record since the campaign started. While Donna has stood up against the war in Iraq since the beginning, Congressman Wynn voted with Bush on Iraq from day one. |
 Darcy Burner for Congress, WA-08Darcy Burner was a 2007 Grassroots All-Star finalist. Now she's a DFA-List endorsed candidate working to win in 2008. She grew up in a blue-collar military family. She knows firsthand the sacrifices American soldiers make. Her brother is a veteran of the War in Iraq and her husband is an Army veteran. Darcy will fight everyday to end the Iraq War and bring our troops home. Her opponent, Rep. Reichert, would rather spend his time taking photo-ops with the President at big money closed-door fundraisers than bring our troops home. |
 Eric Massa was a 2007 Grassroots All-Star finalist. Now he's a DFA-List endorsed candidate working to win in 2008. Eric Massa served in the US Navy for 24 years. He has the knowledge and the backbone to bring an end to the war in Iraq. As a cancer survivor, Eric will lead the fight for universal health care. He supports a single payer system focused on prevention and early diagnosis in which the doctor-patient relationship remains personal and private. His opponent, Rep. Kuhl, would rather send more of our brave men and women in uniform to Iraq than work to fix our broken health care system. |
 For 20 years, Joe Garcia has been a leader on the issues that affect the lives of real people. Joe understands that health care needs to be reliable, available and affordable. He supports expanding coverage to 10 million children immediately and will fight to bring health care to all Americans. Joe will fight to end to the War in Iraq responsibly and bring our brave men and women home. He will strengthen the middle class by bringing new jobs to Florida and making college affordable. He will clean up the environment and protect the Florida everglades from big business polluters and reckless development. |
