Strike a match for CADC!

Nine matches needed. You can be one of them.

To jump-start the 2026 election season, Tim Potts has pledged a donation of $5 a month to CADC.

And he has issued a challenge. He will match 9 more donations of $5 a month for a total of $50 a month.

Make Tim pay!

We have a chance to do big things next year:

  • Defeat Barb Gleim and expand the Democratic majority in the state House.

  • Defeat Greg Rothman and help to flip the state Senate.

  • Defeat Scott Perry and remove a traitor from our U.S. Congress.

  • Re-elect Gov. Josh Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis marking the first time in PA history that Democrats have controlled the governor’s office for 16 years in a row.

To win all of these victories will take shoe leather, mailings, social media, lots of conversations with friends and neighbors – and cash.

Now is the time to start the new year right, not right wing.

Strike Tim’s match today!  Donate here!

1.    We can defeat Barb Gleim and expand the Democratic majority in the state House of Representatives. Gleim wants to fight culture wars. Democrats want to make wallet worries disappear.

Two worthy Democrats will ask for your vote in the May 19 primary. CADC will give you the information you need to make an informed choice.

2.    We can term limit Greg Rothman and give Democrats a majority in the state Senate for the first time in 32 years! 12 years of Rothman in the legislature is enough!*

Rothman’s challenger hasn’t announced yet, so stay tuned.

3.    We can send (insert your favorite adjective) Scott Perry into retirement and take back the US House of Representatives.

Two Democratic candidates have announced they’re running. Again, CADC will provide information you can use to cast your vote. 

4.    We can re-elect Gov. Josh Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis. Building on the achievements of Gov. Tom Wolf, this will be the first time in PA history that Democrats have held the governor’s office for four consecutive terms!

These victories will take a lot of work, starting now.

Knocking on doors, phone calls, texts, emails, letters to the editor, and just plain talking politics with friends and neighbors – all make a difference.

As Arthur Ashe said, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

 And plan to celebrate on May 19 and November 3.
