Our 2023 Candidates

In 2023, Kennedy Democrats will be on the ground, working to protect gains Democrats have made around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh over the past six years. Since our founding in 2019, we’ve raised $1.2 million on behalf of Democrats running up and down the ballot.

Last cycle, our endorsements assisted in flipping the PA State House Blue for the first decade. PA made history today as State Rep. Joanna McClinton has been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives as the first Black woman ever to hold this position in Pennsylvania.

In 2020, President Biden had a net loss of 4,200 votes in Philadelphia, but gained 104,700 votes immediately outside the city. Since our launch in 2019, Kennedy Democrats has been working to turn out these critical voters outside Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and give candidates in these areas the resources they need to win.

Moving into the 2023/2024 election cycle, Kennedy Democrats will play a pivotal role in turning out the vote in counties such as Bucks and Allegheny as we push to retain the Presidency, hold the PA House, and flip the PA Senate.
