Today, after a huge night for progressives in New York and Kentucky, we are proud to formally endorse Andrew Romanoff for U.S. Senate in Colorado and Ed Markey for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.
Here’s why we are asking you to continue the momentum by donating to these campaigns today.
The Colorado Senate seat is one of the most winnable in the country. There's no excuse for electing a corporate Democrat who fights progress at a time when we need bold transformational leaders who get the urgency of this moment.
Andrew Romanoff is making the case for a Green New Deal and Medicare for All. He's running against John Hickenlooper, who consistently attacked Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders from the right on these same issues in his failed run for president. Donate here.
Senator Markey was the first senator to stand with AOC for a Green New Deal, one of the first elected leaders to fight for Net Neutrality, and the first senator to publicly reject campaign cash from the Fraternal Order of Police as they try to block police reform.
He's a progressive champion running for reelection against Joe Kennedy III, who has no real reason to be in the Senate race. We wish Kennedy continued to develop his political values and grow his fledgling political career in the House. In contrast, Ed Markey is tested and consistent. Progressives are stronger with Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren fighting alongside each other. Donate here.
Last night was a big example of the power we have together. Thousands of PCCC members donated to candidates who made history yesterday. Now, let's make more history together.
Please donate $3 each to help Andrew Romanoff and Sen. Ed Markey win. Andrew's primary is next week!
Here's what Andrew Romanoff says about our endorsement:
I am honored to win the endorsement of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, comprehensive immigration reform, an economy that works for everyone -- these are the pillars of my campaign. We are a nation in crisis and now is not a time for timidity. We're igniting something here in Colorado and have an opportunity to elect someone ready to combat climate change and income inequality who will fight for meaningful social justice reform.
As Colorado's Senator, I know we're going to meet this moment together and I am proud to have the PCCC by my side.
Here's what Sen. Markey says:
I am honored to have the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in this fight with me. They have been proud supporters of my friend and colleague, Elizabeth Warren, from the beginning, and a collaborator with me for years.
We share so many of these fights, whether it's the push for a Green New Deal, debt-free college, or free and open internet. We need the strong, progressive people-power of grassroots groups like the PCCC by our sides to accomplish these goals, and I am confident that, together, we will be able to.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
