As hearings reveal past – and continuing – efforts by MAGA extremists to overturn elections, MoveOn is mobilizing millions of voters to protect our freedom to vote.

Washington, D.C. – As the historic and damning January 6 hearings continue to reveal disturbing new details about past and ongoing efforts by MAGA extremists to overturn elections, MoveOn Political Action is announcing its Democracy Slate endorsements to protect our election system from MAGA extremists seeking to overthrow it. 

MoveOn members are endorsing six governors and five secretary of state candidates and will bundle $ 1 million in small-dollar contributions for them as part of its largest-ever midterm political program: America for All: Us v. MAGA.

“The choice we face in 2022 was already a dire one between the majority who support democracy and helping all Americans thrive and MAGA Republicans who are so extreme they attempted to overthrow our government,” said MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting. “The danger is even greater now as Trump’s radical justices on the Supreme Court get ready to overturn Roe and hand over more power to states where MAGA Republican candidates are lining up to criminalize abortion and take us backward to a time of forced births, even in the case of rape or incest.”  

Epting continued, “With basic freedoms, our health care, and democracy under attack, MoveOn members will also be keenly focused on state elections, including gubernatorial and secretary of state races.”

To achieve these goals, MoveOn will be raising millions of dollars for candidates, running the largest-at-scale relational voter outreach program of the midterms, mobilizing a robust army of volunteers, and launching a multimillion-dollar paid media program to microtarget voters to boost turnout.

Here are the Democracy Slate endorsements:

Governor
Stacey Abrams – GA
Beto O’Rourke – TX
Tony Evers – WI
Katie Hobbs – AZ
Josh Shapiro – PA
Gretchen Whitmer – MI

Secretary of State
Cisco Aguilar – NV
Jocelyn Benson – MI
Reginald Bolding – AZ
Jena Griswold – CO
Bee Nguyen – GA
