John – Please join me in welcoming Nida Allam to the Brand New Congress 2022 slate! |
Nida Allam currently serves as the Durham County Commissioner, and board member for Planned Parenthood Votes South Atlantic. Previously, Nida was a political director for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, as well as Vice Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party for four years. Nida made history in 2020 when she ran an unapologetically progressive campaign for county commissioner, and became the first Muslim elected to public office in North Carolina. As county commissioner, Nida fought for a $15 minimum wage for county employees as well as property tax relief for low-income Durhamites. Nida proved in 2020 that this safe blue seat is ready for a progressive champion. Will you join us in supporting her historic bid for Congress by splitting a contribution between Brand New Congress and Nida’s campaign now? |
Nida was first inspired to get politically active after three of her closest friends were murdered in an anti-Muslim hate crime. She threw herself into organizing to overcome her grief and anger, and to fight for a brighter future.
Now Nida is running for Congress to fight for a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and living wages. If elected, she will be the first woman and the first person of color to ever represent this seat. She will also become the first Pakistani-American member of Congress and, alongside BNC’s Jessica Cisneros, she is set to make history as one of the youngest women ever elected to Congress. Nida has earned the backing of progressive powerhouses like BNC’s Rashida Tlaib, as well as Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, Abdul El-Sayed and a host of progressive organizations.
The race for this newly opened seat is crowded, so we need all hands on deck. Will you help us make history and rush a split donation between Nida’s campaign and BNC right now? |
