Replace the leadership

Democratic voters need leaders who will fight in public, use power when they have it, and stop treating donor comfort like the highest law in politics.

One public question. One public record.

THE PREMISE

THE DODGE IS THE DATA

  • A party that cannot replace failed leadership cannot deliver public competition, rebuild capacity, or hold corporate power accountable.
  • This page does one job: put candidates and incumbents on the record. A yes tells voters something. A refusal tells voters something too.
  • So far: 5 standing up, 113 partial break, 0 still protecting the old order, 339 not yet asked.
The test

ASK THEM WHERE VOTERS CAN HEAR IT

Question one

WILL YOU COMMIT TO NEW LEADERSHIP?

Not someday. Not after the caucus vote. Now, while voters can still hear the answer.

Question two

WILL YOU SAY IT IN PUBLIC?

Private courage does not help voters. If the leadership is failing in private, say it where people can see it.

Question three

WILL YOU USE POWER DIFFERENTLY?

Replacing a nameplate is not enough. The test is whether the next leadership will fight for the things voters already want.

HOW THIS BECOMES POWER

Turn answers into pressure

  1. 01

    Ask the question

    Town halls, candidate forums, interviews, call-in shows, and public events all count. Make the question simple.

  2. 02

    Record the answer

    A clear yes matters. A dodge matters too. The public record is the point.

  3. 03

    Move the record

    Send clips, links, transcripts, and local coverage. We update the tracker when the evidence is solid.

  4. 04

    Fund the pressure

    When a race matters, the work becomes research, ads, mail, radio, billboards, and district-specific digital pressure.

On the record

WHO IS STANDING UP?

This list is deliberately narrow. We only show the people where the public record is strong enough to defend.

5 so far. Many more have not been asked yet.

These are the people who need more public pressure, better questions, or a real challenge.
