John -- We have some very exciting news!
We are proud to announce the first Brand New Congress candidate of the 2022 midterm election cycle, Melanie D’Arrigo!
Melanie is a healthcare advocate, local organizer and mom of three running in New York’s third congressional district.
Melanie’s our first candidate of the cycle, but it’s her second time running for this Long Island based district. Brand New Congress was proud to support her in 2020 and we are very excited to help her get the job done in 2022!
Melanie has been on the frontlines of women’s rights, standing up for bodily autonomy and equity. Whether protesting anti-choice Supreme Court nominees in DC, mobilizing humanitarian work at the Southern border in support of immigrant rights, or organizing her community to ensure adequate funding for struggling families, Melanie always puts people first.
In her own words:
“I support reproductive justice and repealing the dangerous Hyde Amendment, which disproportionately affects women of color. I’ll fight for equal pay, paid family leave and ending our maternal mortality crisis. I’m running for Congress because I'm tired of the pay to play politics that overwhelmingly benefits corporations at the expense of our communities. That's why I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money.”
Her home district has been represented by establishment politicians for far too long, and the working people of NY-03 deserve a representative who will focus on their needs!
Will you show Melanie your support by splitting a contribution between Brand New Congress and her bold, progressive campaign for NY-03?
When she wins, Melanie will be the THIRD BNC representative to stand up for the great state of New York -- joining Jamaal Bowman and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the halls of Congress.
We are grateful that she has stayed in this fight, John. For progressive challengers, the second time is often the charm -- just like our sister, Rep. Cori Bush.
The momentum is building! In addition to her Brand New Congress endorsement, Melanie has already secured the backing of National Organization for Women, Moms In Office, Her Bold Move, Progressive Women of New York and Empire State Indivisible.
Let’s help Melanie seize this moment! Will you split a contribution of any amount between Brand New Congress and Melanie D’Arrigo’s bold, progressive campaign today?
Welcome back Melanie, let’s win this!

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and Abolishing ICE. In 2018 we recruited and elected AOC. In 2020, we elected Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, and we helped Rashida Tlaib win a tough re-election fight.
We are building yet another strong slate of progressives for 2022. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
