Mark Warner’s Forward Together PAC is having a little online competition.
The 2006 elections will be an opportunity for Democrats. For the first time in many years, Democrats have a strong chance to win majorities in both houses of Congress. Forward Together PAC has already contributed to more than 50 campaigns in more than 30 states. Now we are opening up the process.
You can help us choose the next group of candidates we’ll support. We are looking for fresh faces with fresh ideas – and for solutions-oriented Democrats with a focus on the future – candidates who will help us change the political map. Which candidates are you supporting? Register below and tell us who your Map Changers are!
The first round of voting runs through June 13. The top votegetters thee will advance to a second round (voting from June 14-25), where the top ten will receive a $5K contribution from the PAC. Finally, there will be a third election (June 26-July 4)to determine two final winners, each of whom will get a fundraiser thrown by Gov. Warner.
I got email about this from the David Harris campaign. He’d be a fine choice for this, but I should note that many other Democratic Congressional candidates from Texas are also in the running. Check it out and cast a ballot – it’d be awesome to bring a little national support to some of our contenders here.
I found out about this through the Bell campaign — Chris Bell is also on the list, and he’s my choice in the West bracket. I hope our votes don’t get split up too much to make a difference.
