“MoveOn members know that Donald Trump’s extremism spreads from the top of the ballot to the bottom, and we have to secure our majority in the U.S. House to protect working people from more Republican chaos,” said MoveOn Political Action spokesperson Britt Jacovich. “Our members endorsed 21 progressive champions who will prioritize a people-first agenda to empower our communities while ensuring our rights and freedoms do not collapse at the hands of Trump’s Republican Party and their Project 2025 plan.”
As mentioned in Axios, MoveOn has previously endorsed Summer Lee (PA, District 12) for her primary election for her U.S. House race, as well as Andy Kim (New Jersey) and Angela Alsobrooks (Maryland) for U.S. Senate.

- In 2024, our democracy, abortion access, and fundamental freedoms are at stake like never before, and MoveOn is meeting the moment. To secure a Democratic trifecta, we are strategically addressing the enthusiasm gap among Democratic voters by narrowing in on young surge voters in battleground states and House districts.
- Within this surge voter population of more than 11 million across our target geographies, MoveOn is focusing on young voters and voters who need to be moved to turn out again for the anti-Trump coalition. These surge voters are often motivated to vote through tailored appeals on issues that impact their day-to-day lives.
- MoveOn will continue to utilize voter contact tactics that have proven to be successful from previous cycles, including house parties, targeted digital ads, and direct voter contact through phone-banking, canvassing, and vote tripling, where committed voters remind friends and family to GOTV.
