The Progressive Change Campaign Committee announced support Friday for three House candidates. The liberal group will back state House Speaker Chris Donovan’s bid for Connecticut’s 5th district, attorney Ann McLane Kuster’s bid for New Hampshire’s 2nd district and former MoveOn.org organizer Ilya Sheyman’s bid in Illinois’ 10th district.

If there’s ever any doubt about the momentum former White House financial reform adviser Elizabeth Warren brings to the Massachusetts Senate race, just check in with the national fundraising effort led by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

The fundraising drive began a couple months before Warren got in the race, and on the first day of her official candidacy, the PCCC surpassed $200,000 raised.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee raised more than $105,000 for a Draft Warren effort, and according to PCCC, almost another $10,000 has been donated to Warren’s exploratory committee.

Cynthia Curtis was put in touch with three other Warren supporters, and in a week, set up a “Draft Warren” house party in her Wellesley home for more than 50 people, many of whom she didn’t know.

“The enthusiasm was electrifying. Everybody knew she wasn’t going to be there. It’s not something affiliated with her exploratory committee and all these people came,” Curtis said.  “I think she will immediately leap to the head of the pack and certainly hearing from folks in attendance last week, there’s not an awful lot of enthusiasm for the other candidates.”

We continued to mobilize in support of efforts to recall Republicans in Wisconsin who support Gov. Scott Walker’s war on working families. In February 2011, over 183,000 of our members stood in solidarity with Wisconsin workers. They, along with Democracy for America, raised over $2 million for television ads. In addition, thousands volunteered to help successfully defeat two Republicans.

In 2010, our cutting-edge Call Out The Vote program with Democracy for America helped our members make over 1 million phone calls to voters in targeted races all over the country. Through this program, we helped candidates such as Raul Grijalva, Alan Grayson, Russ Feingold, Bill Hedrick, Mary Jo Kilroy, Jack Conway, and more.

In 2010, Arkansas Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter challenged Blanche Lincoln in the Democratic primary for Senate. We helped Halter run a deep, grassroots-based campaign, including helping him run a state-wide field program, helping our members make tens of thousands of volunteer calls, and helping our members raise over $179,000. He ultimately narrowly lost to the entrenched incumbent.
