And I'm not talking about John Boehner. Now that the 113th Congress has been sworn in, we can really celebrate the outstanding election we had in 2012, thanks in large part to all of you who helped us raise almost $3.2 million for our candidates. We helped elect six senators and ten representatives. Not to mention winning every marriage equality ballot measure. Congratulations to these Orange to Blue members of the 113th Congress:
Senate:
- Sen. Tammy Baldwin (WI)
- Sen. Sherrod Brown (OH)
- Sen. Martin Heinrich (NM)
