Jared Golden

U.S. House of Representatives, ME-02

When Jared Golden ran for Congress in Maine in 2022, the NRCC poured over $5 million into this race, prompting Politico to call it the “most expensive house race in the country in 2022.” 

With Honor, an independent expenditure that supports veterans running for office, hired us to create a mail program on behalf of Golden on a limited budget. We were proud to help Golden pull out a 53/45 victory and hold the most Republican seat for a Democrat (R+6) in the lower 48 states. 

Lydia Edwards

Massachusetts State Senate

In 2017, we helped elect Lydia Edwards to the Boston City Council. During her two terms, she became well known in her district as an effective Boston City Councilor and as an attorney who fights for affordable housing and the rights of domestic workers. 

In 2021, we worked with Edwards again, helping her secure an overwhelming victory that made her the only Black member of the Massachusetts State Senate and the first woman and person of color ever to represent her district. 

Dan Helmer

Virginia House of Delegates

In 2021, we helped Virginia Delegate Dan Helmer retain his seat in an election that saw the loss of seven Democratic seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, along with their majority and down-ballot statewide offices. In this hard-fought race, Helmer not only won reelection but expanded both his total votes and margin compared to his win in 2019 while running ahead of statewide candidates.

Our relationship with Helmer began in 2019, when we were proud to help him win his race against the GOP majority caucus leader—an eight-term Republican incumbent—in the most expensive delegate race in Virginia history. Helmer’s win helped Democrats take majority control of the House of Delegates.

Tram Nguyen

Massachusetts House of Representatives

Tram Nguyen tried for two years to meet with her Republican state representative in the 18th Essex District, Jim Lyons, to discuss issues that concerned her. But she was never able to get in to see him. So, she decided to run against him in 2018.

We created a mail program introducing Nguyen to voters as a better choice to represent the residents of the district, and as the leader who will fight for their values. She won her election by 10 points, flipping the seat from red to blue and becoming the first Vietnamese American woman to serve in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. 

In 2022, we worked with Nguyen again, helping her to secure reelection with 60.4% of the vote. 

Pilar Schiavo

California State Assembly

We created a mail program for Pilar Schiavo in her hotly contested race for California State Assembly against Republican incumbent Suzette Valladares.

Valladares had a terrible record of voting to criminalize abortion, put women in jail, and make it easier to buy dangerous assault weapons. Despite her record, Valladares tried to convince voters that she’s a moderate. Our strategy was to tell the truth about Valladares and present Schiavo as a lifelong fighter for working families whom we can trust to protect our freedoms.

In one of the closest state legislative races in the country last cycle, Schiavo pulled out a victory 13 days after the polls closed, winning by just 522 votes to flip the seat from red to blue!
