About Us

Grandmothers for a Brighter Future began as Grandmothers for Obama. Launched in 2008, we soon grew to 13 groups in a handful of states. In 2012, we had writers in 25 states plus the District of Columbia. We focused on the Presidency, and some of us also worked on races in our own states. In 2016, we once again focused on the Presidency and on selected races for the U. S. Senate, and, in 2018, joined the effort to flip the Senate. We currently have writers in 46 states plus D. C. We are all volunteer and self-financed locally, and thus not a PAC.
