March On PAC, founded in the wake of the 2016 election, has built its strategy around backing candidates it describes as “bold Democratic leaders,” with a focus on reproductive rights, voting access, economic issues, and racial justice. The group says its approach blends endorsements with direct investment in grassroots organizing and voter mobilization, particularly among women, young voters, and communities of color.

That strategy was tested in Florida, where the organization celebrated a recent special election victory by Democrat Emily Gregory in House District 87. The seat had been viewed as a competitive opportunity, and the PAC framed the outcome as a sign that targeted grassroots efforts can still flip districts even in challenging political environments.

In its statement following the race, the group tied the win to sustained organizing and early investment, arguing that it reflects a broader path forward for Democrats in state-level contests. The Florida race was not an isolated effort.

In the lead-up to the election, the PAC formally endorsed Gregory, describing her as a “grassroots fighter” and positioning the race as a key test of momentum in a state that has trended Republican in recent cycles. The organization deployed messaging focused on affordability, abortion rights, and public education, themes it has consistently emphasized across multiple states.

Beyond Florida, the PAC has expanded its footprint in federal and statewide races. In Illinois, it endorsed Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton for the U.S. Senate and former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. for a return to Congress, backing candidates it says align with its priorities on working families and Democratic leadership.

The endorsements signal an effort to remain active not only in battleground states but also in primaries where ideological direction within the party is at stake. Additional endorsements and campaign activity outlined in recent releases show the PAC supporting candidates in multiple regions, reinforcing its focus on building a pipeline of candidates at different levels of government.

The group has emphasized early engagement in races, arguing that investing before candidates gain national attention can shape outcomes and strengthen campaign infrastructure. According to its mission statement, the PAC aims to “turn frustration into action, and action into wins,” pointing to its record since 2020 as proof of concept.

Its leaders describe the organization as part of a broader movement seeking to reshape the electorate by mobilizing what it calls the “new American majority,” including women, younger voters, and multiracial communities. In its latest statements, the PAC made clear it sees its work as part of a longer political fight, tying individual race outcomes to national stakes. “We don’t just talk about change,” the organization said. “We invest in it.”
