The Squad Victory Fund will allow Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib to help raise money for progressive candidates across the US.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.
As a joint-fundraising committee, the Squad Victory Fund can only donate to Political Action Committees already associated with each member’s individual campaign. Those PACs can then donate to other progressive campaigns. Omar noted the “unprecedented historical moment” facing the nation. “People in our districts and across the country are demanding solutions to crises of public health, economic, and racial justice,” she said.
But the fervor to oust moderate Democrats in Congress — and moderate Democrats’ continued worries about being primaried — began this cycle in September 2019 when Ocasio-Cortez backed Marie Newman, a progressive, who ultimately ran aagainst Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress.
