After Primary Update on Progress Centre PAC
Hi all:
I thought I would give a quick update on the work of the Progress Centre PAC (based in Centre County, Pennsylvania, literally the blue dot in the middle of the state) and let folks know how it's going.
Quick recap: 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 while improving margins for state and federal level offices (which is arguably key for 2024).
To update our numbers, for the last six weeks or so, we have made contact attempts to about 1200 voters in Central PA and about 3000 attempts throughout the state. Contact rate has been fluid, but we definitely updated some voter data to make our efforts more effective for the general.
We also provided a few volunteers to help with getting people who are pegged as Dem leaning folks to get registered to vote based off the work of Field Team 6.
Now that the primary itself is over, we're going to be looking at knocking in rural areas to get voters and individuals to be more engaged in the process and hope to be creating more rural organizing infrastructure that is vital in these areas.
We also met with the League of Women Voters and hope to partner with them soon for voter registration in some rural areas.
And with the Primary Election behind us,
Progress Centre
will be officially 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
. These announcements will be in the next two weeks. Progress Centre is hosting a
fundraiser for Sean Steeg on May 24th
and you're welcome to support (and if you live remotely nearby, join in) the event. Being at Juniata Brewing Company in Huntingdon, PA, we will have live music, beer, an auction, and we're also asking for canned food donations for the local food bank. There is likely another fundraiser that will be for Denise Maris and Nick Jacobson on June 8th with more details to come for that event.
Want to support Progress Centre? 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'll do our best to help.
Progress Centre
is also on
Instagram
,
X (formerly Twitter)
, and
Facebook
if you want to give them a follow or share their materials.
Thanks for reading.
