Conventionalized signs of affluence, models of beauty, "educational" articles on topics ranging from the history and significance of ties ot correct behavior at a first-class estaurr ant filled the pages of magazines intended to provide an accelerated course in etiquette, appearance, and appurtenances for Russia's newly wealthy.

    2018 MA Election Results and Investments

    2018 MA Election Results and Investments Here in Massachusetts, our progressive Blue Wave was led by trailblazing Maria’s List-endorsed women of color like Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), Rachael Rollins (Suffolk County District Attorney), Nika Elugardo (State Representative - 15th Suffolk), Tram Nguyen (State Representative – 18th Essex), Maria Robinson (State Representative – 6th Middlesex), and Liz Miranda (State Representative – 5th Suffolk). As we celebrate our victories, we also know that there is still work needed and victories to protect. While an all-time high of 28.5% of Massachusetts State House seats will now be held by women (up from 26% in 2017), women of color will only hold 2.5% of legislative seats, no change from 2017. We won the Yes on 2 (Money Out of Politics) and Yes on 3 (Defend Transgender Rights) ballot fights but lost Yes on 1 (Safe Patient Limits). And, we helped legal aid attorney Tram Nguyen defeat incumbent Republican State Rep. Jim Lyons – Massachusetts’ own version of smaller Donald Trump – in a resounding victory, flipping a tough district from red to progressive blue. Undoubtedly though, she will have a tough re-election battle in a 2020 presidential year when turnout is high in both parties. Led by our Deep Democracy giving framework, we at Maria’s List will continue to invest – with early money – in the synergies: in bold, progressive women of color candidates, in the grassroots organizations lifting up these candidates and in progressive ballot initiative work.
