Hi John, this is Reverend Frederick Haynes III, Democratic candidate for Congress in Texas’s 30th district.
It’s an honor to be endorsed by Justice Democrats, and I'm grateful to stand in community with this movement to ensure we build a team in Congress that puts the voices of working people over the interests of lobbyists and billionaire donors.
Before I tell you more about myself, can you split a donation to my campaign and Justice Democrats right now? This primary is less than a month away, so there’s no time to waste!
For the last four decades, I’ve served the people of Dallas as a faith-rooted servant leader and senior pastor, community advocate, and coalition-builder committed to justice, opportunity, accountability, and the people.
Leadership matters, and my life’s work has prepared me to lead with courage and a relentless commitment to the people — because the people deserve nothing less.
I’m running for Congress because the 30th Congressional District deserves representation rooted in the lived realities of everyday people, not corporate talking points, political convenience, or systems that benefit the few while extracting from the many.
I bring an outside vision, one forged by organizing, listening, building coalitions, confronting injustice, and standing with working families. Not shaped by lobbyists, but by seniors choosing between medicine and rent, students burdened by debt, parents navigating underfunded schools, and communities pushed to the margins by policy decisions made far away from their everyday lives.
“We outside” is more than a phrase; it’s a declaration. It means bringing the voices of working people, faith leaders, community advocates, students, and the underserved into Congress and turning real-life experience into real policy that delivers dignity, opportunity, security, and lasting change for all.
Right now, affordability is only for the up-and-in, not the down-and-out. In Washington, I will fight to invest in a living wage and economic opportunity, affordable homes, successful schools, and healthcare for all. I will also fight to abolish ICE, stop the genocide in Gaza, and end the environmental racism making our communities sick.
This campaign is about prioritizing people over politics, service over slogans, and results over rhetoric. That’s why I’m refusing corporate PAC money, and why I’m counting on this grassroots movement to come through and help us build a winning campaign.
Together, we will ensure that the needs of our community are not just heard but acted upon.
With gratitude,
Rev. Frederick Haynes
