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.

Key Points: 
  • Contrary to other battleground states, California lacks a long-term funding apparatus for progressive groups to coordinate efforts in critical congressional races.
  • Battleground California is designed to be a multi-cycle partnership, providing critical infrastructure for California's political future in federal elections.
  • Due to the integrity of California's fair redistricting process and the size of its population, the state holds the country's largest number of competitive districts.
  • CDT has a long and successful track record funding organizations engaging people of color to vote for Democratic candidates.
