Hi all:
If anyone has read my posts, you will notice I do some political work in Central PA. I helped create a PAC to help rural and progressive Dems in Central PA. The PAC is called Progress Centre and our focus is to help provide the support that rural Democratic candidates (that run in red areas) need but the party generally won't invest in. The key to winning more races in general is to build up the infrastructure for campaigns so Democrats and Progressives can actually win in rural areas (and help improve margins for statewide and federal offices).
Our group has been calling voters across the state to remind them to turn in their mail-in ballot applications, remind them of the dates to get mail-in ballot applications in (need to be received by 4/16) and when the mail-in ballots need to be sent in (need to be received by 4/23). In the last three weeks we have made contact attempts to about 800 voters in Central PA and about 1500 attempts throughout the state.
We are also working on coordinating voter registration efforts with other organizations, notably the League of Women Voters.
Progress Centre is also going to be announcing their endorsement of three Democratic Candidates in Central PA: Denise Maris for PA HD-76; Sean Steeg for PA HD-81; and Nick Jacobson for PA HD-85.
If you're interested in supporting Progress Centre and the work they do, you can chip in some donations (we ask for folks to do smaller monthly donations), volunteer, or sign up for their newsletter. And if you're a candidate in Central PA that is running in a "red" area (or know of one), they can fill out this form to try to get our endorsement and support. We're a new group and small, but we are doing our best to support those who need it in the hardest spots to run.
Progress Centre is also on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook if you want to give them a follow or share their materials. Admittedly, all hands have been on deck regarding calls.
As always, thank you for reading, please share and help drive our grassroots effort to get the support in areas that need it.

Itโs clear to all of us: Congress is broken. Its dysfunction isn't just isolated to the legislature; itโs a fundamental issue that has spilled over into our judiciary and executive branches, affecting every aspect of governance.ย
Congressโs ineffectiveness may be the last consensus of the left and right. The challenge now is to put aside our differences and unite for a solution.
. We've strayed far from the ideal of accessible, responsive governance and America is now ripe for reform
I believe thereโs a way to fix this, but itโs not a journey I canโor shouldโundertake alone. Collaboration is key, and every additional voice strengthens our cause.
Please join me. I needย your insight, your passion, and your willingness to recruit others to our cause. Together, we can devise and implement a system that restores the essence of representative democracy.
Thanks for letting me post to your reddit. I Very much look forward to hearing from you all.ย
Your involvement could be the catalyst for the transformative reform Congress desperately needs. Letโs get to work.
p.s.
I have specific ideas on how congress should be restructured but in the spirit of collaboration I'm saving them for comments section.
