My bracket was busted the second Creighton lost, but congrats to the Huskies fans out there celebrating the end of a very unpredictable March Madness.
Putting aside hoop dreams, there’s still a chance of victory for two impressive Ds in serious need of your support—our April Reformers of the Month, state Rep. Margo Davidson (PA-164) and Newark mayoral candidate Shavar Jeffries.
Rep. Davidson—the first in her family to attend college, and a community leader in Philly—is a true blue DFER. While in office, she has supported high-quality public charter schools and a tax increase to fully fund the state’s public schools. But she’s being pounded by the state’s teachers union, which plans to raise $200,000 for her opponent leading up to the May 20th primary.
You can help keep Margo in office by clicking here and contributing as little as $10.
Raised by his grandma in Newark’s South Ward, Shavar has dedicated his career to helping kids as president of the city’s Boys and Girls Club, head of Newark’s School Advisory Board, and founding board president of TEAM Academy Charter. Yet despite his reform cred, he remains in a close race leading up to the May 13th election. His opponent, Ras Baraka, promises to undo progress made during Cory Booker’s tenure, and has $ pouring in from the Newark Teachers Union endorsing his campaign. Donate just $10 to Shavar by clicking here.
Both these candidates are fighting to survive as their state’s teachers unions continue to throw money at their opponents. But you can help them fight back.
The candidate with the most funds wins 99% of the time. We can’t risk the loss of two such strong DFERs. This month, contribute just $10 to Margo and Shavar’s campaigns.
For the win!
