Quaye Quartey, son of a Ghanian immigrant, is a life-long dedicated public servant. He was commissioned as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy serving in combat and supporting counterterrorism and cyberwarfare around the globe. He honorably retired following two decades of active-duty military service and returned home with a mission to help other small businesses grow that serve working families in their communities. However, after the events of January 6th, 2021, Quaye felt compelled to serve his country and his community at home. He looks to challenge Republican Congressman Mike Garcia for California’s 27th District.

Christina Bohannan, a mother and law professor, has been serving as a member of the Iowa House of Representatives since 2020 after beating a 20-year incumbent of the district. During her time in the statehouse, Christina worked to protect working families, push for more investments in public schools, and help Iowa families and small businesses recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. Now she is running for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, a seat held by Republican Congresswoman Miller-Meeks who won narrowly in 2020. 

We’re proud to endorse these candidates’ campaigns. However, all of these candidates are running in key districts. Can you chip in whatever you can to help us support competitive NewDem endorsed candidates like Eddie Rodriguez, Quaye Quartey, and Christina Bohannan?
