The Organizations We're Tracking
This is by no means an exhaustive list of "progressive" organizations. In general, we've tried to avoid the organizations that are just PACs.
Note that some organizations may endorse multiple candidates for the same position. Generally this is because the candidate has met some criteria, not that the organization is choosing the "best" candidate for the office.
