John -- The numbers don’t lie.
- The average net worth of members of the Senate is $1 Million.
- The median age of our Senate members is 63.
- And over HALF of Senate members are categorized as “Professional Politicians.”
So it’s really no mystery as to why productive and effective legislation rarely makes it to the President’s desk. Brand New Congress is going to change that.
Republicans in the Senate are hellbent on defeating any effort to deliver necessary relief. And Senate Democrats continue to vote against increasing the federal minimum wage to $15.
Meanwhile, extremely important bills that were previously collecting dust on Mitch McConnell’s desk are now collecting dust on Chuck Schumer’s.
While bills encoding an extremist conservative agenda are passed in state legislatures all across the country, we must pass federal protections and standards like the Equality Act, the For the People Act, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We can’t let our already fragile democracy take another hit.
The upper chamber of Congress is in need of a major shakeup. Corruption and hyper-partisanship run deep, causing needless human suffering in a country that claims to be the greatest in the world.
But I know we can do better.
That’s why we need a Brand New Senate! With your help we will finally elect one in 2022!
Organizing a statewide race is a whole different ball game, with some Senate races costing tens of millions of dollars.
Brand New Congress candidates won’t take a dime of corporate PAC donations, so running a viable race depends on grassroots donations from millions of people like you, who demand unbought elected representatives.
John, will you contribute $8 today and help us elect a Brand New Congress Senator in 2022?
Shifting the balance away from corruption and toward progressive legislation through the Senate is possible if we fight for it.
Let’s get to work,
Adrienne Bell
Executive Director
Brand New Congress
Brand New Congress laid the foundation for the Green New Deal and we believe in a federal jobs guarantee, a living wage, and Medicare for All. We train and support candidates to run winning, grassroots campaigns while refusing a dime in corporate PAC donations.
Our elected progressive champions include Cori Bush, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and Jamaal Bowman. Join us today and help us fight for a better future for ALL Americans.
