Democrats are doing the work on the ground to win elections up and down the ballot across the map<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the DNC announced its latest round of investments, delivering nearly $2.5 million to state parties nationwide. By leveraging record-breaking fundraising, the DNC is rounding out a historic milestone by fulfilling its mission to provide electoral funding and support to all 57 states and territories. These investments will reinforce and expand Democrats\u2019 unparalleled ground game by ensuring our teams have every tool they need to earn votes during this critical final stretch to November. The stakes couldn\u2019t be higher, and this investment gives Democrats the boost needed to elect Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Walz, and Democrats in critical races down the ballot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what Americans are seeing on local and national news:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in its history, the committee has now sent money to every state and territory in the country this cycle.

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is announcing a huge nationwide local party investment, the fundraising boom surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign lifting Democratic organizing efforts across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018From the school board to the White House, the DNC is doing the work to elect Democrats to office at all levels of government,\u2019 DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement to Salon. \u2018These dollars will go to reaching key constituencies, beefing up organizing operations, and giving our teams on the ground the tools they need to earn every vote in the final stretch before Election Day.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Irie Sentner, 9\/27\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is sending money to every state Democratic party in the country for the first time in its history to bolster down-ballot races in the final sprint toward November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe nearly $2.5 million investment \u2014 shared first with POLITICO \u2014 aims to help break Republican supermajorities in deep-red states and strengthen voter engagement efforts across the U.S. It\u2019s part of a broader push for increased local support by the DNC, which says it\u2019s increased state party funding by 25 percent during Jaime Harrison\u2019s tenure as chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC is sending more than $400,000 to Florida, which in a release it called \u2018a priority state that we know Democrats can win,\u2019 focusing on Puerto Rican voter engagement. It\u2019s investing almost $100,000 in Missouri to hire organizing staff in hopes Democrats can pick up a handful of seats in the state House and Senate to break a GOP supermajority. And it\u2019s even spending about $70,000 in deep-red Idaho, a state that hasn\u2019t elected a Democratic senator in over four decades and where Republicans control every arm of the state government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Tal Axelrod, 9\/27\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee on Friday announced a six-figure investment of over $400,000 for get out the vote efforts in Florida to boost Vice President Kamala Harris and former House member and Senate nominee Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, the party first told ABC News. And Senate Democrats’ campaign arm announced Thursday a \u2018multi-million dollar\u2019 advertising investment in Florida and Texas, where GOP Sen. Ted Cruz is facing Democratic Rep. Colin Allred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC also is rolling out a new $2.5 million investment in state parties to provide funding to all 57 states and territories for the first time ever in one election cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Alex Roarty, 9\/27\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn Friday, the Democratic National Committee announced it was making a new multi-million-dollar investment in two-dozen states, much of it earmarked for grassroots get-out-the-vote operations less than six weeks before Election Day. But rather than focus exclusively on the presidential race in key battleground states, some of the spending is meant to help Democrats in local races running in states considered uncompetitive at the federal level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Idaho, for example, the party said it is spending $70,000 to hire organizers in tribal communities. In West Virginia, it\u2019s investing another $50,000 in GOTV operations to help flip four seats in the state legislature. States like Tennessee, North Dakota, Arkansas and Kansas are also included in the new round of expenditures, according to the DNC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Juliann Ventura, 9\/27\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Friday that it would be giving nearly $2.5 million in total grants to more than 30 state parties in an effort to ramp up organizing efforts as Election Day nears, rounding out the committee\u2019s goal of providing resources to all states and territories in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018These dollars will go to reaching key constituencies, beefing up organizing operations, and giving our teams on the ground the tools they need to earn every vote in the final stretch before Election Day,\u2019 DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of the newest investments include grants to help down-ballot Democrats in Republican-controlled states, targeted investments specific to what will help in a particular state \u2014 like support for certain voting blocs \u2014 and hundreds of thousands of dollars aimed at supporting the hiring of Black, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Latino, youth and Native American organizers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday announced new funding to help get out the vote and promote Vice President Kamala Harris for President in several southeastern states, rounding out campaign spending in all 57 U.S. states and territories this election year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoasting record-breaking fundraising, the DNC announced the latest tranche of funding as part of the DNC\u2019s historic multimillion-dollar investment cycle-to-date for targeted resource deployment. These funds, allocated to both traditionally red and blue states, will help strengthen coordinated campaigns and boost Democratic wins in down-ballot races, like in Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the first time ever, national Democrats are investing money in all fifty states. The Democratic National Committee is distributing almost $2.5 million among every state party in the country to boost down-ballot races, Politico reports. A significant chunk of that change\u2014$400,000\u2014is going to Florida, which has grown redder over the years but where Democrats will focus on Puerto Rican voters. Smaller sums will go to even more Republican-leaning states, like Missouri and Idaho, where the party nonetheless believes it could lock up some state-level offices. In the Potato State, for instance, the money will support an organizer in the Nez Perce Reservation and a Latino relational organizer in two counties where elections have recently been decided by less than 100 votes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is sending money to each of its state counterparts for the first time in its history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Money like this can really make or break state legislative district races,\u2019 DNC spokesman Cameron Niven said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018The statehouses are really where change can happen, where a strategic investment like this can make a difference,\u2019 Niven continued.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee announced Friday it is sending money to all 57 states and territories to help turn out Democratic voters for down-ballot races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe $2.5 million dollar investment, which is a drop in the bucket in compared to the billions of dollars spent this election cycle, will help state parties fill holes in their get-out-the-vote efforts. For example, money will be used in Florida, New York and Pennsylvania to turn out Puerto Rican voters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
