ProgressNow was later adopted by the Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008.[7] The Washington Post referred to their work as one of the most "ambitious" efforts in grassroots organizing at the state level.[8] Starting with Colorado and then Ohio,[9] Huttner developed a network of state based communications hubs across the country.[10] In 2010, the book "The Blueprint: How Democrats Won Colorado, and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care" described ProgressNow as the "crown jewel" of the progressive investors' effort to flip the state.[11] AuthorHuttner is the co-author of The Resistance Handbook: 48 Ways to Fight Trump.,[12].
