Progressive Turnout Project Announces $1.8 Million Digital GOTV Investment
Grassroots-funded organization supports 31 additional Democratic candidates
CHICAGO—Progressive Turnout Project today announced an additional $1.8 million investment in digital advertisements to get out the vote in support of 31 Democratic candidates in competitive U.S. House and Senate races across the country during the final weeks of the 2018 campaign.
“Our GOTV experiments have proven that a robust digital GOTV program can boost Democratic turnout by at least 2 percent in even the noisiest political environments,” said Executive Director Alex Morgan. “While the bulk of our work is done door-to-door, we recognize that we’re not going to be able to have a face-to-face conversations with every voter and that’s why we’re making this significant investment in digital GOTV to take back the House and Senate.”
PTP will run digital GOTV programs in support of 31 federal candidates in the following congressional districts:
- CA-10 (Josh Harder)
- CA-22 (Andrew Janz)
- CA-25 (Katie Hill)
- CA-39 (Gil Cisneros)
- FL-18 (Lauren Baer and Bill Nelson)
- GA-06 (Lucy McBath)
- IA-01 (Abby Finkenauer)
- IN-09 (Liz Watson and Joe Donnelly)
- KY-06 (Amy McGrath)
- ME-02 (Jared Golden)
- MI-08 (Elissa Slotkin and Debbie Stabenow)
- MN-03 (Dean Phillips, Amy Klobuchar, and Tina Smith)
- MN-08 (Joe Radinovich, Amy Klobuchar, and Tina Smith)
- NC-09 (Dan McCready)
- NJ-03 (Andy Kim)
- NV-04 (Steven Horsford and Jacky Rosen)
- OH-01 (Aftab Pureval and Sherrod Brown)
- PA-07 (Susan Wild and Bob Casey)
- TX-23 (Gina Ortiz Jones and Beto O’Rourke)
- VA-02 (Elaine Luria and Tim Kaine)
