Real, Progressive Left Change

Michael Swanson is running for Congress in 2022. He faces an uphill battle in a region that has been Republican for over 80 years.

Ad copy

Our Representatives in Congress aren’t going to Washington to fight for every day people like you and me. Many of them are only fighting for their corporate donors. With an average contribution of $57.37, people are making a statement that our government officials should not be bought. Will you chip in to help keep the momentum going?
