March On PAC Targets Trump Agenda While Backing Candidates Across Critical Battlegrounds

By Stacy M. Brown Senior Global Correspondent

March On PAC, a women-led organization working to defend democracy, protect reproductive freedom and voting rights, and elect bold Democratic leaders, is moving aggressively into the 2026 election cycle, combining a growing list of endorsements across multiple states with pointed criticism of President Donald Trump’s policies on climate, voting access, and federal spending.

In a recent Instagram post tied to Earth Day, the organization delivered one of its sharpest rebukes yet of the administration’s environmental record, writing, “Our planet is failing. It’s being failed by our president.”

The group then outlined a series of actions it attributes to Trump since taking office, including eliminating the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding and vehicle emissions standards, opening protected areas such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, and weakening wetlands protections under the Clean Water Act.

The post also cited the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and noted what it described as intentions to exit international climate bodies, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the Green Climate Fund.

“This Earth Day serves as a reminder that Trump is completely abandoning climate action,” the PAC wrote. “We need leaders who believe in science and will preserve our planet for future generations.” The organization has paired that messaging with an expansive endorsement strategy that spans federal, state, and local races.

In Florida’s 6th Congressional District, March On PAC backed Robert Cooper II, a Marine veteran and nonprofit leader running as a first-time candidate. The group said Cooper is campaigning on a platform focused on putting “people over politics” as he seeks to flip the district.

In Michigan, the PAC endorsed State Rep. Kimberly Edwards for reelection in House District 12, citing her work on reproductive rights, environmental protection, and education. It also threw its support behind Michael White for State Senate District 15, describing the Army veteran and community leader as focused on lowering costs, expanding housing, and strengthening workforce development.

The endorsements extend further across the Midwest and South. March On PAC backed Jennifer Day for Kansas Secretary of State, pointing to her background with the League of Women Voters and her campaign centered on election integrity and voting access.

In Wisconsin, the group endorsed former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes for governor, stating he aims to unite the state and build opportunities for middle-class families. Additional endorsements include Raychel Proudie for Missouri State Senate District 14, Keenon James for Maryland State House District 23, and Mayra Rivera Vazquez for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. The PAC described each candidate as focused on issues ranging from education and healthcare to economic opportunity and public safety.

The organization is also pointing to a recent electoral win as evidence of its growing influence. March On PAC-endorsed candidate Analilia Mejia won a New Jersey special election for the U.S. House, a result the group celebrated publicly as a sign of momentum heading into the 2026 cycle. Alongside its endorsements, the PAC has taken aim at proposed federal legislation, particularly the SAVE Act. In a detailed post, the group called the measure a “poll tax” and warned that it could reshape voter registration requirements nationwide.

According to March On PAC, 52 percent of registered voters do not have an unexpired passport with their current legal name, a key form of identification that could be required under the proposal. The group said the legislation would mandate in-person proof of citizenship before registering to vote, often requiring documents such as a passport or certified birth certificate.

It also warned that the proposal could force voters to re-register and limit options like online or mail-in registration. “Its goal is to ensure noncitizens do not vote in federal elections, but this is already being enforced and has been since 1966,” the PAC stated.

March On PAC has also circulated warnings about federal budget priorities it attributes to Trump, listing what it described as proposed cuts tied to funding his war agenda. The group cited figures including $8.5 billion from public schools, $1.3 billion in affordable housing construction grants, $393 million from homelessness programs, $129 million from healthcare research, and $52 million from airport and transportation security.

In another post that drew attention online, the organization shared a quote attributed to Deanna McDonald that read, "Everything is so crazy; no one could have predicted this, other than the 75 million people who kinda did, I guess, but other than that, no one.”
