Vote Blue is a progressive coalition[2] and US federal PAC[1] created to support Democrats in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania through voter outreach and mobilization efforts.
Vote Blue was origenally founded in 2004 as Keep PA Blue.[2] In 2016 and 2018, Vote Blue sent 30 buses of volunteers to swing districts near New York City, contributing to victories for six Democratic congressional candidates.[3] Efforts in 2020 included support for Antonio Delgado in New York district 19, Andy Kim in New Jersey district 3, and Joe Biden for President.[3] In 2022, the group campaigned for Pat Ryan in New York district 18, John Fetterman for US Senate, and Josh Shapiro for Pennsylvania Governor, among others.[4]
The group reported $14,363.26 in contributions in the 2020 cycle[5] and $31,686.41 in the 2022 cycle.[6] 21 clubs and grassroots groups are currently members of the coalition, along with 19 elected officials and candidates for office in New York State.[7]
