Congratulations to
@cantbuypaul, who while running as a progressive in "unwinnable" Arkansas outraised his Republican opponent, a banker, by $50K in individual contributions.

You can read all about these candidates, including interviews, on the Great Slate [https://techsolidarity.org/resources/great_slate.html …]. But the important thing is not to rest on our laurels. We can't win in 2018 without them, and people like them. Republicans are going to try to crush them.

So please, keep giving generously to the Great Slate. The money you donate is funding aggressive field campaigns, in districts where people are desperate for change. And it's bringing fresh voices into the moribund Democratic party.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
