From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Democrats Serve is an American political action committee (PAC) founded in 2021 in the state of Connecticut[1] as a Hybrid PAC.[2] It was created to support and recruit Democratic Party candidates from public service backgrounds,[3] such as nurses, police officers, judges and firefighters.[4] It was modeled after groups like VoteVets, which was formed to recruit veterans.[5] They wish to synergize police reform and law and order policies.[5][6]

Democrats Serve is headed by Brett Broesder,[7] whose involvement in Democratic Party politics includes being the former campaign manager for Peter Kilmartin former Attorney General of Rhode Island. Made up primarily in Milford[8] and Bridgeport Connecticut.[9]

The group was criticized in 2021 by Ben Proto, the chair of the Connecticut Republican Party as "another indication of a Democratic Party that is moving further and further left and some guy in Milford trying to make a name for himself".[10] US Congressman Rich McCormick also criticized fliers the group published against him during a 2022 election in Georgia.[11] It spent on advertising for Republican Party candidates thought to be weaker.[12][13][14][15][16] The strategy seemed[to whom?] to work[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]

Candidates[edit]

In 2022 Democrats Serve supported incumbents[25][26][27][28][29] Val Demings[30] and Cheri Beasley’s run for the U.S. Senate.,[31][32] Jonathan Logemann for the U.S. House of Representatives,[33] and other federal candidates[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] as well as candidates at the state level.[42][43][44]
