A note from Mary
Leaders who represent the best in us.
My wife Ronda and I launched Transcend PAC on Donald's 80th birthday in June of this year to contribute directly to candidates who offer a transformative vision for America's future.
In this time of petty politics and cruelty, we need leaders who foster hope, connection, and positive action while demonstrating empathy and strength.
In this time of extreme narcissism and corruption, we need leaders who understand what's at stake and are prepared to meet the moment with unwavering determination and dedication to the American people and our democracy.
In this time of politicians who prey on our fears and encourage the worst in us, we need leaders who will exhibit courage and inspire the best in us.
The following candidates represent the best in us, and support a Pro-Humanity, Pro-Democracy, Anti-Corruption agenda.
I hope you read about all of these incredible leaders today, and donate directly to their campaigns.

Maine U.S. Senate
Troy Jackson
Race Challenger to Republican incumbent Susan Collins; red-to-blue opportunity.
Troy Jackson is a fifth-generation logger and former President of the Maine Senate who has spent his career fighting for working people and rural communities. In the Maine Legislature, he championed workers' rights and successfully pushed legislation giving loggers and wood haulers greater power to collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions. Now, Jackson is running for U.S. Senate to replace Susan Collins. Unlike Collins, he will be a senator who won't capitulate to the Trump regime and who will put working families ahead of powerful special interests and billionaires. He aims to reverse the damage done to Maine's health care system caused by the "Big Beautiful Bill" by working to lower prescription drug costs, protect reproductive freedom, and make wealthy corporations pay their fair share.

U.S. Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is well-known for her courage and commitment to the truth and our Constitution through her service as a House Manager in the 2020 impeachment trial of Donald Trump and as a member of the U.S. House January 6th Select Committee, which investigated the attack on our nation's Capitol by anti-democracy extremists. She continues to be a leader on anti-corruption, campaign finance, and pro-democracy reforms. Rep. Lofgren is also the top Democrat on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, serves on the House Judiciary Committee, chairs the California Democratic Congressional Delegation, and is a member of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. She's one of the best, and her service and commitment are invaluable.

Race Incumbent.
Kris Mayes is Arizona's Attorney General and a longtime consumer advocate who has made taking on powerful interests a centerpiece of her time in office. As Attorney General, she has fought to protect abortion rights, defended Arizonans' access to voting by mail, challenged federal efforts to interfere with state elections, and held corporations accountable for harming consumers and Arizona's natural resources. Mayes is running for reelection to continue defending Arizonans' rights, freedoms, and financial security against corporate abuse and government overreach. Mayes exemplifies what it means to stand up to the abuses of power and threats to free and fair elections by the Trump regime by participating in or co-leading multi-state legal challenges against them.

He unequivocally stands up for the rule of law, the Constitution, and our civil rights, while brilliantly using his background as a constitutional law scholar to eviscerate the actions of those deliberately trying to undermine our democracy. Rep. Raskin also happens to be one of our favorite human beings.
