If you know much about me, you know that I’m not one to pull any punches -- so I’m going to get straight to the point. We need Congress to look like America.
I'm dedicated to helping elect candidates who will bring the full range of American experience to Congress and stand up to powerful interests and establishment politicians. One perfect example is Candace Valenzuela, a working mother of two who was the first Latina and Black woman to serve on her city’s school board. Another is Jamaal Bowman, a Black public school teacher and principal running against an incumbent who has been in Congress for over thirty years.
In 2018, PCCC helped me and other progressive candidates flip red seats to blue and, together, we made history by electing the most diverse Congress in history. We saw the victories of dozens of candidates who, like me, refused money from corporate PACs and lobbyists so we could maintain our independence to represent everyday people -- not the powerful few.
But we need more people in the fight to reform our broken political system and make it a top priority, and to make Congress represent all Americans.
That’s why I’m proud to be all-in alongside the PCCC for Candace Valenzuela, Jamaal Bowman, Dana Balter, and Mondaire Jones.
Thanks for being in this fight.
