Our members also had some time for the House of<br />

Representatives this cycle, donating over $800,000 to<br />

progressive House candidates.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong>’s Work in the House of Representatives<br />

No race was more exciting than helping Donna Edwards<br />

win her primary campaign against Al Wynn in February<br />

of this year. <strong>MoveOn</strong> members volunteered for Donna in<br />

Maryland, donated over $81,000 to her campaign, and<br />

chipped in to keep ads on the air at a critical time in the<br />

campaign. We’re proud to have been a part of electing<br />

a progressive champion<br />

like Donna to the US House.<br />

And the race put other<br />

Representatives on notice: fail<br />

to listen to your constituents,<br />

and you might be next.<br />
