Representation matters. Black candidates matter. Today, I'm proud to add a few more great men to my slate of endorsed candidates this cycle.
They are candidates whose lived experiences reflect the communities they serve, and who are committed to working closely with the people in those communities to bring about transformative change:
Charles Booker is running for Senate to represent the State of Kentucky and defeat Mitch McConnell. He has spent the last ten years fighting for the people of Kentucky at all levels of government. Charles can defeat Mitch McConnell, who has caused so much pain for so many families, and he will be a leading voice in the Senate on issues of consequence, including environmental and economic justice.
Jaime Harrison is a bold advocate for progress. He is passionate about working in close partnership with community to improve access to healthcare, ensure every young person has a high-quality education, and help families across South Carolina build wealth and achieve economic stability. He is running to represent South Carolina in the Senate, and he will be a transformational leader in Congress.
As a Senior Pastor for fourteen years, Rev. Raphael Warnock is committed to serving not only his faith community, but every community in Georgia. He is a strong advocate for increasing access to healthcare and education, ensuring workers are paid a living wage, and making sure that the voices of everyday Georgians echo in the halls of the U.S. Senate.
As a 20-year public school educator in New York, Jamaal Bowman knows what it means to build community and fight for those too often left out and left behind. In Congress, Jamaal will continue to advance bold solutions — like fighting to end mass incarceration and working to actualize the People’s Justice Guarantee. I am proud to endorse Jamaal to represent the NY-16th in Congress.
Dr. Cameron Webb has dedicated his life to serving others — as a doctor, as a lawyer, and as an advocate. Now, more than ever, we need representatives like Cameron, who take science seriously and who are committed to helping communities respond to and recover from the COVID-19 crisis. I know that Dr. Webb will be a fierce advocate for the people of Virginia’s 5th District.
In this moment, we cannot turn away from the hurt and the trauma afflicting so many people across our country, especially those who have been left out and left behind for too long.
Instead, we must elect representatives who speak directly to that pain and who will organize, advocate, and legislate to end generations of bigotry, violence, and deeply-rooted inequity. I know that each one of these five candidates will do exactly that, and will fight to end systemic injustices that plague our communities.
Thank you for your support. Together we will continue to organize, advocate, and legislate for real change.
In solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
