Congressman Andy Kim fills dozens of trash bags with debris on January 6.
His actions after the insurrection were a radical break from -- and
rejection of -- the violence.

We hope you're not on email today and are reading this later. But we
wanted to give thanks to some awesome political leaders that don't get
enough attention. At the end, we'll ask you to consider giving [ [link removed] ]$1 to
each as a thank you.
Congressman Joe Neguse. In addition to doing America proud as an
impeachment manager, and in addition to being the first Black Congressman
from Colorado, Joe pushes a progressive agenda day after day in Congress
including climate action, Medicare for All, and protecting voting rights.
Congresswoman Angie Craig and Congressman Andy Kim. Angie won by 2 points
in a Minnesota heartland district. Andy won twice in a New Jersey Trump
district. Both are top targets for national Republicans, and both have
been stalwarts for bold things like fighting Big Pharma, taxing
billionaires, and fighting climate change. You also may remember the
iconic image of Andy Kim taking hours to clean up the Capitol after the
January 6 insurrection. (We're proud that both attended a PCCC candidate
training when they first ran!)
Congresswoman Marie Newman and Congressman Andy Levin. These two
progressive stalwarts supposedly had safe districts in Illinois and
Michigan. Then, redistricting happened -- the lines got scrambled, and we
could lose two of our top allies in Congress. We appreciate them and are
intent on keeping them in Congress.
Secretaries of State Jocelyn Benson (Michigan), Jena Griswold (Colorado),
Steve Simon (Minnesota), Shenna Bellows (Maine). These people are keeping
the trains of democracy on the track -- and Trump is targeting them so he
can rig elections. We appreciate these heroes and need to protect them.
[ [link removed] ]It's also why we love the Democratic Association of Secretaries of
State.
Senate candidates Mandela Barnes (Wisconsin), Lucas Kunce (Missouri),
Morgan Harper (Ohio), and Charles Booker (Kentucky). Among this bold
progressive crew we have folks leading in the polls, leading in
fundraising, and leading in grassroots organizing. If even two of them
win, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema no longer have a veto -- and bold
progressives will be the deciding vote in the Senate. (We're also proud
that multiple of these heroes attended a PCCC candidate training!)
House candidates Brittany Ramos Debarros (NY-11), Summer Lee (PA-18),
Attica Scott (KY-03), Tom Winter (MT-01), and Jessica Cisneros (TX-28).
From winning a brand new district in Montana for progressive
Democrats...to winning open Democratic seats in Pennsylvania, New York,
and Kentucky...to defeating one of the rogue corporate-aligned House Dems
who nearly derailed the Biden agenda in Texas...we appreciate this crew.
Karl Frisch. This longtime political ally ran for school board in one of
the formerly most-conservative counties in America (Fairfax, VA) and won.
He recently was accosted in a school board meeting, attacked for being
gay, and has faced harassment online for weeks. We appreciate his
leadership and strength. (We're also proud that he attended a PCCC
candidate training when he first ran!)
Some rocking state legislators such as Wlnsvey Campos in Oregon, Eloise
Reyes in California, Chris Larson and Katrina Shankland in Wisconsin,
Padma Kuppa in Minnesota, Will Guzzardi in Illinois, Rebecca McWilliams in
New Hampshire, and Dominique Jackson in Colorado. These folks are the
future. Every day, they either battle crazy right-wing legislators trying
to take away voting rights and health care from the public -- or, they are
passing progressive laws on the state level. They have our appreciation
and support. (Did you guess? Many of them also attended a PCCC candidate
training!)
[ [link removed] ]Please consider donating $1 to each of them -- just to say thanks, and
to show that a movement has their backs. You can also donate to our PCCC
candidate training program [ [link removed] ]here.
There are many many many other unsung heroes out there -- school board
members, city councilors, mayors, legislators, others in Congress.
Together, we continued to build power.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
