The Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) are 8 turncoat Democrats who form a “majority coalition” with the Republicans, giving them control of the Senate, and what comes to the floor for a vote.

 The IDC get personal perks, like better office space and bigger staff budgets, in exchange for empowering the Party of Trump.  They also get pork for their district, leaving less money for the rest of the state. They are funded by the real estate industry, charter school advocates, and other special interest groups directly opposed to the legislation they kill in the Senate.

If we don’t unseat the IDC in 2018 Democratic primary, we will never get these bills signed into law. Make sure you’re registered as a Democrat before October 2017, and VOTE THEM OUT!
