Today, Daily Kos congratulated Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones on her victory in the primary runoff in Texas’ 23rd Congressional District. Additionally, Daily Kos announced the latest disbursement of Democratic Nominee Funds raised through ActBlue. The Democratic nominees in Texas Congressional Districts 7, 23, and 32 will receive their share of the over $158,000 from over 80,000 individual, low-dollar grassroots donations the Daily Kos community has raised to oust Republicans in these races.
“Daily Kos is excited to support Gina Ortiz Jones as she fights to evict conservative incumbent Will Hurd from Congress this year,” said Daily Kos Political Director David Nir. “Additionally, the Daily Kos community has raised over $2 million oust Republicans from 43 U.S. House seats and three U.S. Senate seats since first launching our effort around ActBlue’s nominee funds a year ago. We’re thrilled to see more funds from this campaign go to support these Democratic efforts in Texas.”
Daily Kos has led the way in supporting Democrats across the country this cycle, raising over $5.4 million for candidates in small, grassroots donations in 2017-2018. We will continue to analyze and invest in key races nationwide.
