About Unite the Country
Unite The Country is a Super PAC dedicated to electing Democrats who support common sense policies, champion middle class values and are willing to engage Americans regardless of where they live. This in turn will help our Party reclaim its brand and expand the electoral map – both of what we will need to build a sustainable majority.
We formed in 2019 with a mission to elevate strong leadership, effective policy, and a vision for restoring the best of American values. Over the 2020 cycle, we invested nearly $90 million in programs that reached voters across the country and were honored to receive multiple awards for our work, including a Pollie for the best ad of the presidential election cycle. Looking ahead, we remain focused on expanding our impact. In 2025, we were committed to investing significantly in New Jersey to help elect Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill and set the stage for future statewide and national victories.
While 2024 did not unfold the way any of us hoped, the formula for winning in 2026, 2028, and beyond is clear and we are ready to execute it.
We need to build a coalition that can compete throughout the country – not just in several states or with certain demographics. Because the math and strategy we have been relying on will continue to fail in the coming years.
A few facts to consider:
- The gender and education gaps are widening with Democrats having lost men in the last election by 17 and Republican strength with non-college voters growing at a faster rate than Democratic growth with college educated voters.
- We don’t have a single U.S. Senator from a state that Trump won in 2020, and only a handful of Democrats serve in Congressional seats won by Trump.
- In this past election, we won roughly half the number of counties we did in 2008, 100 less than in 2024, and 200 less than in the year 2000.
- In 2009, Democrats had an 847-seat advantage over Republicans in the 50 state legislatures. Today, Republicans have a 795-seat edge.
- Today, you can drive 1,850 miles between Yakima, WA and Moline, IL and not travel through a single Congressional District held by a Democrat.
This isn’t a commentary on any one candidate or political organization. But it should be a wakeup call. We will not be able to win sustainable majorities as a regional party. Nor will we be able to win simply by running up the score in large cities.
The work starts with electing House, Senate and Gubernatorial candidates who are willing and able to cut through the noise, focus on issues that matter to a large swath of American voters and more importantly listen to what these voters have to say about the state of the country.
That is where we come in. We are dedicated to championing these candidates – whether incumbents or challengers, blue state or red state.
We have a lot of work to do, but we are confident that our strategy will help Democrats win, expand the map and Unite the Country.
