Athens-Clarke County Democrats

‼️We have $5,000 left to raise‼️

At our meeting this week, the Athens-Clarke County Democratic Committee approved up to $15,000 to support our local Democratic candidates in the midterms. That funding is contingent on us raising another $5,000.

Our budget will support our State House and State Senate candidates equally by investing in social media ads, newspaper ads, radio, voter texts, campaign materials, refreshments for volunteers, and local GOTV (get out the vote) events.

This committee is entirely funded by folks in Athens. We do not receive financial resources from the DNC, DPG, corporations, etc,. The more neighbors that donate, the more voters we can reach in Athens.

Senator Ossoff is the only Senator who is running for re-election in a state that Trump won in 2024. We need to re-elect Jon Ossoff and flip the Georgia State House before redistricting in 2030.

Because we are a political committee, we are the only nonprofit you can donate to that can directly support Democratic candidates. We're very efficient with our donations, and we hope you'll pitch in!
