Victory!

Published: Nov 9, 2006 10:31 AM

Democracy for America members played a critical role in the successes of November 7. No national grassroots organization put more boots on the ground than DFA. Together, we took our country back! Here's a taste of just some of our victories:

• One of the fifty-two Congressional seats in California switched hands. DFA Grassroots All-Star Jerry McNerney defeated Richard Pombo in a campaign with important implications for our environment and our country.
• In Massachusetts, Deval Patrick swept to victory, becoming that state's first African-American governor. DFA members were working hard for him before anyone else knew his name.
• In North Carolina, DFA-List candidate Ty Harrell helped the Democrats expand their majority in the state House.
• In Upstate New York, nine months after a DFA Training Academy in the 20th Congressional District, Kirsten Gillibrand won her exciting race against John Sweeney.
• In the Granite State, Democracy for New Hampshire-endorsed candidates won dozens of races and took the state House for the first time since the Civil War.
