BIG NEWS! Today, we're endorsing 4 House candidates who will help
Democrats keep control of Congress and advance, not obstruct, a bold
Democratic agenda: Summer Lee in Pennsylvania’s 18th District, Attica
Scott in Kentucky’s 3rd District, Tom Winter in Montana’s newly drawn 1st
District, and Jessica Cisneros in Texas’ 28th District. ([ [link removed] ]Donate to

These endorsements come just days after the House of Representatives
passed the Democratic Build Back Better agenda, sending it to the Senate
after months of delay caused by a handful of corporate-aligned holdout
Democrats.
Three of today's endorsements are women of color. All 4 have strong
records of organizing in their communities. Together, they give Democrats
a fighting chance of holding onto our House majority.

(PA-18), Attica Scott (KY-03), Tom Winter (MT-01), and Jessica
Cisneros (TX-28)?
A handful of corporate-aligned holdout Democrats previously blocked the
widely popular Build Back Better legislation, which expands child care,
ushers in universal pre-k, combats climate change, lowers the cost of
prescription drugs and health care, and extends the child tax credit —
paid for by taxing corporations and ultra-wealthy individuals who have
avoided taxation.
During the delay, Democrats lost the governorship in Virginia and
significantly underperformed in New Jersey. This was an important reminder
that it’s not enough to run against Trump -- Democrats must use power to
improve the lives of working families.
Building back better shouldn’t have been this hard. We need elected
officials who will fight for everyday Americans, not obstruct popular
legislation on behalf of corporate interests. That’s why we are so proud
to endorse this diverse slate of progressive change makers:
Summer Lee (PA-18) is a Pennsylvania state legislator and dedicated
organizer, activist, and advocate for social justice. Since taking office,
Summer has been a voice for people across the district – championing
initiatives that support sustainable jobs, environmental responsibility,
police accountability, and gender and racial equity. She is a tireless
advocate for workers’ rights, union protections, and the fight for a
liveable wage. [ [link removed] ]Donate $3 to Summer's campaign.
Attica Scott (KY-03) is a State Representative and was the first Black
woman elected to the Kentucky General Assembly in more than two decades.
In her time in the assembly, she brought 80 bills to the floor, including
legislation banning no-knock warrants and banning discrimination against
students who wear natural hairstyles to school. Scott is running to
replace the retiring Rep. John Yarmuth and will fight for racial justice,
Medicare For All, a Green New Deal, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and
more. [ [link removed] ]Donate $3 to Attica's campaign.
Tom Winter (MT-01) served in the Montana State House, is a current member
of IBEW 206, and has been organizing in the Western Montana community for
the last decade. Winter proved that Democrats can win in a +11 Trump
district by organizing in their community and rooting a campaign in
popular policies that empower and excite working families, and is a
climate champion who supports a Green New Deal, an outspoken advocate for
voting rights, and has a plan to tackle the opioid crisis by taking on Big
Pharma in Washington. [ [link removed] ]Donate $3 to Tom's campaign.
Jessica Cisneros (TX-28) is a human rights lawyer and proud daughter of
Mexican immigrants who is running against Rep. Henry Cuellar, one of the
nine House Democrats that fought for corporate interests and watered down
Build Back Better. Cisneros will fight to pass progressive ideas and is a
fierce advocate for Medicare For All, a Green New Deal, and fixing our
broken immigration system. In 2020, she came within 4 points of unseating
Cuellar. [ [link removed] ]Donate $3 to Jessica's campaign.
