Senate Races
2020
Raphael Warnock – Georgia – General and runoff elections
Jon Ossoff – Georgia – General and runoff elections
These were the last two seats in contention for the control of the Senate. Their victory gave the Democratic Party control of the Senate.
Mark Kelly – Arizona
We also campaigned for races in Maine, Montana, Colorado and North Carolina.
2018
Kyrsten Sinema - Arizona
In our most successful at the time, the Make A Difference Campaign worked to elect Kyrsten Sinema for Senate in Arizona. We mobilized more than 40 volunteers to text voters. We sent tens of thousands of texts to encourage Democrats to vote and to answer questions about locations and polling places. When we began Ms. Sinema was trailing in the polls but she won the election by a significant margin.
2017
Jon Ossoff - Georgia
We supported Jon Ossoff in a special election in Georgia. He came very close to winning a plurality in a three way race for Senate, but lost by a small margin in the runoff election.
2016
Jamie Raskin - Maryland
In the lead up to the 2016 election we supported Jamie Raskin's campaign for congress in Maryland's 8th Congressional District, by soliciting donations and enlisting people to work on the campaign. Despite being outspent 3 to 1 by his opponents, he won by a large margin.
2016
Maggie Hassan - New Hampshire
For the 2016 election, MAD-C canvased and raised money for Maggie Hassan who ran successfully for Senate in New Hampshire.
Katie McGinty – Pennsylvania
We worked through local election offices for candidates in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Coopersburg, Pennsylvania
Creation of The Make A Difference Campaign (MAD-C)
Following the 2016 presidential election, MAD-C was formed to mobilize people who felt helpless, frustrated, and angry by the election of an unpopular president. We continue to enlist people to bring democracy back to this country by electing Democratic Senators.
2014
Jeanne Shaheen - New Hampshire
Jeanne Shaheen ran against Scott Brown, the incumbent. The organizers canvased in Salem New Hampshire for Ms. Shaheen’s election. She ran a great campaign and was successful in defeating Sununu.
2008
Barack Obama - Virginia
The organizers of the Make A Difference Campaign (MAD-C) began working on Barack Obama's first presidential campaign in Virginia in 2007. We did canvasing and fundraising in Virginia, a traditionally Republican, conservative state to help elect the first black president. We were honored to be on the platform with Barack Obama on his final campaign appearance in Virginia on the day before the election. (See photo below).
