When Alexandria won in 2018, her message inspired a lot of people. She was fearless in critiquing politics-as-usual. She proposed big, new ideas — like the Green New Deal — to tackle our most difficult challenges.
While Alexandria’s message resonated across the country, some Democratic Party leaders responded very differently. They called her ideas extreme and more than a few of them attacked her personally.
We need to make it clear: there’s nothing wrong with new ideas and holding your own Party accountable. Will you make a $5 contribution today to show you stand with Alexandria and support pushing the Democratic Party forward?

We need to show widespread support for Alexandria so she can continue doing what she was elected to do: demand better.
Alexandria campaigned on expanding Medicare in order to make prescriptions more affordable. Now, Medicare has the power to negotiate prescription drugs — and insulin is capped at $35/ month. Alexandria’s Green New Deal was called pie-in-the-sky, but last year, Congress passed its largest ever investment to fight climate change — $369 billion. Now, Alexandria is fighting to ban trading stock for Members of Congress, after it was revealed that 277 lawmakers did not disclose individual stock investments in 2020 — and 75 of them directly profited from stocks in the companies that developed COVID-19 vaccines.1
Every dollar, no matter the amount, shows widespread support for our progressive priorities from Pennsylvania and beyond.
