TYT is America’s largest Progressive news network with the most robust platform to amplify progressive candidates, their primary races, and the progressive agenda.

Former MT State Rep Tom Winter is running in a 3-way race to become the democratic nominee to represent Montana's new congressional district. Outraised more than 10:1 Winter is betting on his progressive bona fides across the district to carry him to victory. In a tight race in 2018, Tom flipped a district that voted for Trump +11 to earn his seat in the state Legislature where he introduced 24 bills as a freshman lawmaker – a Montana record.

Crowded primary to fill seat being vacated by Representative Bobby Rush. Jahmal is the most progressive candidate in a race with nearly a dozen candidates. Rush has backed non-profit executive XX. Jesse Jackson's son, Jonathan Jackson is also running in the crowded field. With a field this size it is expected that someone could win with less than 30% of the total vote.

Neal Walia is running in the Dem primary for Colorado's 1st CD. He is up against more moderate Democratic incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette. She has outraised Walia 4:1. His background as a DC government bureaucrat has given him some insight into the inner workings of the legislative process. Neal worked in Governor Hickenlooper’s office, working to end homelessness in Colorado and build bridges between state government and the AAPI community. This work brought him to Washington with the National Governors Association. Neal suggests that being a Democrat isn't enough. Neal believes that both parties are influenced by special interest groups, corporate lobbyists, and massive amounts of money, all to maintain the status quo instead of creating a better country for all Americans.

This could be a sleeper. Word is that private polling has delivered surprising results. This would be a real shocking win. Her fundraising is pretty strong relative to Danny Davis'

Delia Ramirez is an IL State Rep and founding Executive Director of the Center for Changing Lives, Board Chair for both the Latin United Community Housing Association (LUCHA), and Logan Square Neighborhood Association. She is running in a safe blue district in an open seat. He campaign is solidly progressive backing policies like Green New Deal, Medicare for All, $15 mn wage, tuition-free university and more. While being outraised by the more establishment candidate she has been able to remain competitive in terms of dollars raised.

Marsha Williams is running for a the seat held by Rep. Cheri Bustos who will be retiring after this term. The seat is not what is thought of as a safe D seat and could swing to the Republicans in November. Marsha an admissions advisor at a trade school has been involved in activism and community organizing for decades. Many of her efforts centered on women's reproductive rights. Her campaign is a progressive one. She is supportive of nearly every progressive priority and a win would move this seat in a progressive direction. Her campaign has struggled with fundraising with her being outraised by the money leader 7:1. She is endorsed by Brand New Congress.

McKayla Wilkes is running for a second time against #2 Dem in the House, Steny Hoyer. Wilkes is, like many candidates, running on an extremely progressive platform that includes Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, criminal justice reform, and many other priorities. What seems to break her away from a lot the folks up and down the ballot is her experience. McKayla has experienced first hand the impact of inaction on the issues. McKayla is being significantly outraised. Her's is a grassroots campaign; Hoyer's, with more than $2.8 million in contributions, is backed by PACs, pharmaceutical companies, and other industries.

*DISTRICTS NOT FINAL* High-ranking-centrist incumbent Tom Suozzi will be running for Gov this cycle so this is an open seat. The field is fairly crowded and includes State Sen Alessandra Biaggi an AOC ally in the state capitol.

*DISTRICTS NOT FINAL* Brittany Ramos DeBarros is Afro-Latina Staten Islander, a community organizer, and an Army combat veteran running in the Democratic primary in NY-11. She is in a fairly crowded field that includes former Congressman Max Rose. Rose, a right-wing Democrat has outraised DeBarros nearly 4:1 but her campaign has been able to raise enough to be competitive. She is staunchly progressive running on a platform that includes Medicare for All, universal pre-k, student debt cancelation, tuition-free higher education and more. Beating Rose in Staten Island would be shock to the NY policial world and national media.

*DISTRICTS NOT FINAL* Rana Abdelhamid is running in NY12's Democratic primary against incumbent Rep Carolyn Maloney and seemingly perennial candidate Suraj Patel. Rana is backed by a slew of progressive groups including Justice Democrats, NY based WFP, Way To Win, DFA, The Jewish Vote, and many more. She is being outraised by Maloney 2:1 but remains competitive having raised nearly a million dollars while rejecting corporate pac money and largely being funded by small dollar donors. There are other folks in the race with decent politics but none with even a small chance of winning this race. A win in here would be huge. it would not only be another win for JD against an incumbent but it would prove that simply voting ok isn't enough to keep a congressional seat.

Lucas Kunce is running for the Democratic Party nomination for Missouri's open senate. That seat is currently held by Sen Roy Blunt. Blunt is not seeking re election so there will also be a Republican party primary. MO's Senate race is one of the best chances Dems have to add to their Senate ranks. Kunces is expected to win the primary and be competitive in the general. His campaign has outperformed expectations in both fundraising and polling. While Kunce doesn't use progressive buzzwords like Medicare for All or Green New Deal his rhetoric is generally supportive of similar ideas. His election would more the Senate in a much more progressive direction.

Jason Call is running an extremely progressive campaign against moderate incumbent Rick Larsen. Jason supports nearly every single progressive priority and is funded by small dollar donors. His campaign is being outraised 7:1 by his centrist opponent. A win in this race would send a signal to incumbents across the west.

Stephanie, an award-winning elementary school teacher, Principal, and school district administrator is currently serving as an Assistant School Superintendent. She is running against incumbent Dem Adam Smith and has the backing of DSA, Brand New Congress and others. She is running on a very progressive platform that reflects a DSA style campaign. Her campaign has seen some modest success in fundraising but has yet to capture the attention of national media.

Community organizer Amane Badhasso is running against incumbent Rep.Betty McCollum. As a child, Badhasso fled violence in Ethiopia, becoming a child refugee in Kenya. At the age of 13, Amane came to Minnesota through a refugee resettlement program.

Outagamie County Executive and Fmr Assembly Majority Leader, Tom Nelson has a history to back up his staunchly progressive campaign. Tom build a reputation as a ally of working people as an elected official. He won six times in a Trump county and succeeding in a longshot fight to save a century-old paper mill there helping to save 300 jobs, Tom is the one of the most progressive candidates in the race. His campaign is trailing in in the polls and in terms of fundraising.

Lt. Gov. Barnes is running for US Senate in WI's Dem primary. The winner will go on to face Sen Ron Johnson in the Nov general election. Barnes is endorsed by a number of national figures including Senators Warren and Booker, Reps James Clyburn and Mondaire Jones. Barnes frequently talked about his support for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and making corporations and wealthy people pay their fair share. He's pushed action on climate change. Progressive groups like Democracy for America, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and the Working Families Party all endorsed his candidacy within hours of its existence. Recent polling shows a tightening race with Barnes favored by 19% of respondents while Lasry, a more centrist Milwaukee Bucks executive, was favored by 16%.

This is a super interesting race. Open seat held by Val Demings who is running for Senate. Frost is 24 and would be the first Gen Z member. It appears he would be the youngest member of congress if elected. His campaign is leading the field in fundraising thus far by a decent margin. He came out of the organizing around the Parkland shooting and has been hyper focused on gun violence as a result. Wrt policy he checks every box and is effective in making the case for progressive policies. The primary is the race as this is a solidly blue district.

Gary is leading the Dem primary in terms of money. He is running a very a weed centric campaign since the launch of his viral campaign ad where he smoked a blunt. The state is solidly red, 15 - 20 points to the R side. That said prior to '93 like so man other states in the South it was a Democratic stronghold. This campaign is doomed due to the National Dem Party brand but I think he could be good TV and states like this are the key to the Dems reclaiming the majority in the Senate.

If the name Amy Vilela sounds familiar you might remember her from the Netflix documentary "Knock Down the House". She joined Cori Bush, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Paula Jean Swearengin as Justice Democrats' recruits. She found her political voice through personal tragedy when she lost her daughter Shalynne to a heart attack that could have been prevented with a more functional healthcare system. Amy has devoted herself not only to improving the US healthcare system but to a whole host of progressive priorities. She is exactly the kind of person we need in DC fighting for the people of this country.

Shervin Aazami, the Italian-born son of Iranian he has led a successful career in policy primarily in healthcare related fields. He has never held public office but has been very involved in policy work nad has developed relationships in DC. His platform includes everything you'd expect to see from a bold progressive candidate. It includes Medicare for All, Green New Deal, UBI and many more.

Elementary educator, Aarika Rhodes is running against incumbent Brad Sherman in what amounts to a 3 person primary. Due California's top-two primary system two candidates will advance to November's general election. Her campaign website touts her support for progressive priorities like Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal. She is backed by "Big-Crypto" and has spent a bit of time on media that serves the niche.

Claudia came out on top in the March election nearly capturing the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. She missed it by less than 3% This is Chip Roy's district. He is a firebrand but has come close to losing to a Dem before. Wendy Davis came close and Joseph Kopser (more traditional dem came closer. This is a tough race but it sure ain't impossible. It would be a huge win for progressive politics.

Greg Casar is the presumptive Congressman for TX-35. He will face a Republican challenger in the general in November but is in a very safe(D+21) blue district.  Since Casar was able to break the 50% threshold in the March primary he is now the Democratic nominee and will not be involved in a the May 24th runoff.

Jasmine Crockett is a TX state rep who is running as a progressive She is backed by local Sunrise Movement chapters but has been more outspoken on traditional Dem policies than she has policies like GND, M4A, or tuition-free public universities. She won the March primary in TX by more than 30 points but fell just shy of the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff. She is running in a solidly Dem district so if she wins the primary she becomes the favorite in Nov's general election.

Recent internal polling conducted by Lake Research shows Michelle leading against a centrist candidate. She is 100% aligned with the platform but like every single other candidate seems to have no plan for building power.

Valerie is endorsed by the CBCPAC and Emily's list and NC AFL-CIO she seems best positioned to win this race and in many ways is the favorite.

Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam — the first Muslim woman ever elected to public office in North Carolina i running in a 7 person primary to represent NC-04. Her campaign is by far the most progressive supporting M4A, GND, $23 minimum wage, and others. Nida recently picked up an endorsement from Sen. Warren and Rep. Jayapal. In another important endorsement development the progressive caucu of NCDP rescinded their endorsement of State Sen Valerie Foushee due to her acceptance of $165,000 (more than 50% of her quarterly haul) from individuals associated with AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group. This opens up an even wider lane for Nida to become the states first muslim Rep.

Fmr. KY state Rep Charles Booker is making his second run for the US Senate in KY. In 2020 he was narrowly defeated in Dem primary by Amy McGrath. She went on to lose by nearly 20% to Mitch Mcconnell. Since then Booker has been organizing across Kentucky, founding "From the Hood to the Hollar" an organization that works to win over non votes and republicans to progressive ideals. Polling from January has Booker down by 16 to Sen Rand Paul.

Three term State Rep, Attica Scott is running for US House in Kentucky's 3rd congressional district. She is by far the most progressive candidate in the race supporting the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, canceling all student loan debt and the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana. Her more centrist opponent State Sen. Morgan McGarvey has the backing of the state's political establishment and has a significant fundraising advantage. The district is in a safe blue seat so the Dem primary will decide who goes to DC.

William Compton, a public teacher, is running in a solid Republican district on a progressive platform. He supports a Green New Deal style approach to combating climate change, M4A, student debt cancelation, and a whole host of other progressive legislation. He is facing third-time candidate, Hank Linderman in the primary. If he becomes the Dem nominee Compton's campaign would face an uphill fight in the general. Thus far he has struggled to gain traction with respect to funding and press coverage.

Erica Smith a NC State Senator is leading the pack in terms of fundraising. She has been running on a fairly progressive platform supporting policies like Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal. Her opponent in the race is NC State Senator Don Davis. He has been highlighting her endorsement of Republican candidate for a State Senate seat and her vote for a Republican Mega donor to the University of North Carolina board of Governors.

Val Hoyle is the odds on favorite to win OR-04. She is leading in fundraising and endorsed by the 16 term incumbent. The Dems in the district leans a bit further left than Hoyle. It's a bit of a Sanders/AOC stronghold in some ways so anything is possible. Overall the district is a fairly safe D seat. Canning has raised enough to remain competitive and is hoping to pull off an upset. A crypto PAC recently got in the race against Canning. Canning is running the most competitive progressive campaign of the race.

Alexandra's platform includes medicare for all, criminal justice reform, tuition-free public college, and racial and economic justice. Hunt's political ideology were honed while she attend Drexel University. There she went on medical trips to places such as Ghana and Ecuador, where she witnessed jarring health disparities, and these experiences brought her down the path of public health. After school she worked as a public health researcher. As a student she worked a number of jobs including time as a stripper. Her campaign has been leaning into this experience. She is running against a Dem incumbent and a win in this race would send yet another message to incumbents in DC.

Summer Lee, a Pennsylvania state legislator and dedicated organizer, activist, and advocate is committed to an expansive progressive platform that includes M4A, the GND, tuition-free public schools and more. She has the backing of Sanders, Warren, JD and many other progressive groups. She's the odds-on favorite to win the primary. In a poll released by Emily's list (4/12) has Summer was up by 25 points. A victory in Nov. would make her the fourth candidate recruited by JD to be elected.

Fetterman is out front and running a fairly progressive campaign. The biggest issue is lack of access to the campaign. The establishment candidate is Conor Lamb. He is trailing badly but a Super PAC appears to be poised to hop in and run a more aggressive campaign against Fetterman as a socialist.

Val Hoyle is the odds on favorite to win OR-04. She is leading in fundraising and endorsed by the 16 term incumbent. The Dems in the district leans a bit further left than Hoyle. It's a bit of a Sanders/AOC stronghold in some ways so anything is possible. Overall the district is a fairly safe D seat. Canning has raised enough to remain competitive and is hoping to pull off an upset. A crypto PAC recently got in the race against Canning.
