OAKLAND, Calif., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Battleground California has become California's only independent expenditure coalition aimed at winning eight competitive congressional races that will securely position Democrats to take back the House from two more years of Republican control. Chaired by California Donor Table (CDT) and joined by Courage California, Communities for a New California, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California VOTES, National Union of Healthcare Workers, Inland Empire United, CHIRLA Action Fund, Way to Win, the Working Families Party, and Movement Voter Project, the SuperPAC will invest $15 million targeting races where Latino, AAPI, and Black voters will be the margin of difference towards a Democratic-controlled Congress.
