Note regarding the DA race:
PPDC approved the issuance of a statement of admonition against L.A. County DA Jackie Lacey's office, signed jointly by members of the Stonewall Democratic Club and PPDC.
Read the statement here.
PPDC is also supporting Democrats around the country to take back the Senate.
Here's the list we're working off — tip of the hat to our friend Jon Katz, president of the Santa Monica Democratic Club and co-leader of the Westside Democratic HQ.
PPDC has donated directly to the first several campaigns below, and will add more candidates as funds come in. We encourage you to donate too! Here are links to the "must-win" campaigns:
