We work with Democrats who share our vision of a party -- and a country -- which puts ordinary people first. Every election cycle, we look for a candidates running for public office who show great promise of future leadership and aren't afraid to take on big corporate interests. We're building the farm team of progressive populist leadership in the Democratic Party. That's why we were among the earliest supporters of Russ Feingold, Paul Wellstone, and Barack Obama - long before they came to Washington
