A States Project Giving Circle
About our group
Welcome to Purple to Blue! We are a community of people eager to protect our democracy. P2B is a Giving Circle working to elect Democratic majorities to state legislatures in key swing states. We believe this is the most efficient and effective strategy to keep government accountable to the voters. Please join us!
Working with The States Project, the P2B Giving Circle leverages our mutual resources to make targeted political contributions where they have the greatest impact. Our funds help identify winning candidates; support door-knocking campaigns and opportunistic media which develops name recognition; and pay for core staff.
P2B started as a group of alums of Amherst College, who along with their friends and families were distressed about the erosion of democratic norms. We decided to join a growing movement to build power in the states, where money we raise, targeted wisely, can make the difference in electing Democratic majorities to state legislatures in swing states.
It’s often cheaper to flip an entire state legislative chamber than it is to win a single competitive Congressional district.
2026: P2B members are now raising early money to support candidates running for seats in the Arizona State House and State Senate. Majority Democrat control is in sight. Thanks to our generous member donors, we are nearly halfway towards our $60,000 goal. Once we meet our goal for Arizona, we will turn our focus to the Pennsylvania House races. Both are critical battleground states this year.
In 2025 we focused for a second time on the bell-weather state of Virginia where The States Project ran candidates in every district, many of whom over performed. P2B contributed to the blue wave that won both houses of the Virginia General Assembly by big margins. Governor Spanberger has a governing trifecta, and together, Virginia's leadership is improving the lives of Virginia's voters. We also supported the Minnesota State Races during the critical events where ICE invaded Minneapolis, raising over $8,000 in 3 weeks.
In 2024, P2B supported candidates for the state legislatures in Arizona and Michigan. Although Democrats did not succeed in taking over the state legislature in Arizona and lost control of one of the chambers in Michigan, our contributions helped to minimize their losses.
In 2023, P2B invested in Virginia where every seat in the General Assembly was up for re-election. We scored major victories by flipping the House of Delegates and holding the Senate resulting in a Democratic majority in both chambers. In late 2024, P2B supported successful candidates in two special elections which allowed Democrats to retain those majorities.
Virginians continue to be represented by the most diverse slate of legislators in their history, who have protected access to abortion, passed historic climate legislation, safeguarded the right to vote and gun safety laws, and raised the minimum wage.
In 2022, P2B invested in the swing state of Pennsylvania. The money we raised helped 12 candidates win new seats and flip the State House. It also brought the wonderful Speaker Joanna McClinton to power. It was a big win for PA -- and rewarding for P2B. A Democratic majority remains in control of that chamber.
Please join our effort to turn purple states into blue majorities. All are welcome. We value every contribution large or small. Working together, we can create positive change!
