Description
Swing Left is an organization that aims to channel resources to the most impactful elections to ensure Democrats have the balance of power. They focus on competitive races and flipping Republican-held seats to Democratic-held seats. They target both federal and state-level elections, with a particular emphasis on the House and Senate. Swing Left believes that without Democratic control, nuanced policy disagreements are irrelevant because the government will be co-opted by extremists. They prioritize grassroots efforts, such as door-knocking and phone banking, to engage voters and persuade them to support Democratic candidates.
Swing Left also recognizes the importance of the abortion issue in elections and aims to educate voters on candidates' positions and the impact of their votes. They emphasize the need for progress on immigration policy and highlight the lack of movement on the issue in recent years. Swing Left encourages individuals to get involved by signing up on their website and contributing their time or money to support competitive races.
