If we don't protect our House majority in 2020, and elect leaders who will put power into the hands of the people, we won't be able to start passing bold reforms and rooting out corruption in 2021...
I'm fighting my heart out to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot this year — including in key House races.
Because if we don't protect our House majority in 2020, and if we don't elect leaders who are ready to put power in the hands of the people, we won't be able to start passing bold reforms and rooting out corruption in 2021.
So I've endorsed a bunch of strong Democrats who know how to fight, how to win, and how to get results for working people.
And today, I want to shine a light on four of those Democratic House candidates. They're running in tough races and could really use your support today, if you'd be able to make a financial contribution: Wendy Davis in Texas's 21st District, Mondaire Jones (New York 17th), Lucy McBath (Georgia 7th), and Hillary Scholten (Michigan 3rd).
These candidates are the real deal, and I'm proud to endorse them.
From Wendy Davis's famous filibuster on the Texas Senate floor for women's reproductive freedoms to fighting to expand funding for public education, she has been on the frontlines fighting for Texas working families for years.
Now more than ever, we need fighters like Wendy in positions of power to make big structural changes that will touch lives. If we elect her to Congress, she'll keep fighting for our families in these tough times.
And Mondaire Jones also knows that we're in a fight to put power in the hands of working families.
With Mondaire in Congress, we'll gain another chance to achieve the hard-fought wins that bring us closer to big, structural change, and I'm glad to stand with him. His primary is coming up on June 23, and if we pitch in and have his back, we can help send him to Congress.
Congresswoman Lucy McBath is running for re-election in a competitive seat that she flipped in 2018.
She knows the importance of working together to accomplish common-sense initiatives that improve the lives of millions across this country. As a mother and advocate, she's fought in Congress to keep our communities safe from gun violence, protect our health care, and keep our promises to our veterans.
Lucy fights from the heart for the people of Georgia's 6th Congressional District, and we need to fight by her side.
Hillary Scholten is also in this fight for all the right reasons. She's a mom, a civil rights attorney, and a West Michigan native who's working every day to make her neighbors' lives a little bit better.
Hillary knows what it means to stand up for what's right, even at personal cost. I can't wait to fight arm in arm with Hillary in Congress to fight for health care, protect our environment, and rebuild our economy in a way that works for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected. Hillary will lead from her values and make real and lasting change for the people of West Michigan.
In 2020, Democrats have a real chance to keep the House, take back the Senate, win the White House, and gain significant ground in statehouses across the country — but only if we all get in this fight and stay in this fight.
