The focus on giving to high-profile congressional races is coming at the expense of key state and local offices that will certify election results and write voting rules
Kristina Karamo, Mark Finchem and Jim Marchant, the Republican secretary of state candidates in Michigan, Arizona and Nevada, respectively, attend a conference on conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election in West Palm Beach, Fla., Sept. 10, 2022.
That’s a problem in a midterm where GOP candidates who falsely claim Donald Trump won the 2020 election are on the November ballot in more than half the races for governor and at least one-third of attorney general and secretary of state races, according to States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan pro-democracy organization.

Mark Finchem, the GOP Arizona secretary of state nominee who has claimed repeatedly and without evidence that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud, has pulled in $1.2 million, compared to roughly $700,000 for Democrat Adrian Fontes. | Steve Helber/AP Photo The gathering marked the first major meeting of the “Paul Revere Project,” an initiative led by Third Way and self-described moderate Democrats that’s named after the 1775 midnight rider who warned American colonists the British were advancing.
“Every person there was disturbed,” said former Rep. Joe Crowley of New York, referring to the reaction to the presentation. Several attendees described the meeting as a sobering call to action for party “influencers” to convince more donors, party elite and corporate America that they need to take a “presidential campaign approach” to protecting democracy, including elevating local officials through support for nonpartisan elections administration and a shift to prioritizing more donations to campaigns of state and local officials in several swing states.
