John -- We have more great news to share with you this week. Brand New Congress is proud to welcome Angelica Dueñas to our 2022 slate! 

Angelica was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and her story resembles that of many in her community. Born to working class immigrant parents who instilled in her the value of hard work, she was proud to be the first in her family to graduate from college. Angelica is now a career activist and community organizer, and a busy mother of five. 

Angelica has served as councilwoman on the Sun Valley Area Neighborhood Council, where she led as both vice president and president. She helped form a union to protect tenants’ rights, and most recently led protests at the Sun Valley LADWP Generating Station to demand a transition to 100% renewable energy by 2030.

After serving as a DNC delegate for Bernie in 2016, she was inspired to run for Congress in 2020. Outspent 10:1, Angelica still forced a primary run-off, then captured almost half the vote against the incumbent in the General election. Now she’s running to finish what she started last cycle and win this race for CA-29!

With a platform that includes Medicare for All, Tuition-Free College and passing a Green New Deal, Angelica is fighting for the policies we care about the most!
 
In her own words: 
 
“Could it be possible that an entire society could come together, proclaim that they will fight for each other even if they are strangers, that our government can do far better for its people, and its people can do far better for each other? Is it possible that our Congress can be controlled by working-class, diversely colored, progressive women and men?” 
 
We say, YES it is possible! John, will you stand with Angelica and Brand New Congress today? A split contribution will strengthen her campaign and allow us to mobilize resources when they can be most strategically applied. 

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

People power CAN beat big money, but only if progressive, grassroots campaigns get an early foothold. That’s why your support now is so critical.  

Welcome Angelica, we can do this!
