You know Joe Manchin. Do you know Kurt Schrader?

[ [link removed] ]This week, we endorsed his opponent in a nationally-watched May 17
congressional primary, and PCCC members around the nation have already
chipped in thousands. Here’s why we did it.

ABC NEWS reports:

To the extent that Democratic activists know Schrader’s name, it’s mainly
been for his opposition to progressive priorities that Biden actually
supports. He opposed a $15 minimum wage and a proposal to contain
prescription drug prices, and he initially voted against last year’s $1.9
trillion COVID relief bill.

All of that earned Schrader a primary challenger in Jamie McLeod-Skinner,
who has been endorsed by four county Democratic parties, a range of
progressive groups and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. In an interview last
week…McLeod-Skinner called Schrader 'the Joe Manchin of Oregon' and warned
that he would lose the general election because the Democratic base has
soured on him.

House majority and replace a corporate Dem with a bold progressive. Early
voting has already started. Chip in here.

Something very weird happened last weekend.

President Biden endorsed Schrader, the guy who opposes Biden at every
critical turn. We believe Biden did this because he still wants Schrader’s
vote for pending economic legislation, but that he would be overjoyed if a
dud Democrat was replaced by a vibrant progressive.

But still, ABC News called the endorsement "strange in terms of both
timing and strategy" and said the endorsement "reopens intraparty wounds."
Nevertheless, we persist.

Jamie is a no-nonsense engineer, attorney, and former union member. Her
mom drove a school bus, taught special ed, and picked fruit in the
summers. She hasn’t forgotten her roots.

Jamie is drawing contrasts with Schrader on Medicare drug price
negotiation, the Build Back Better climate provisions, holding
corporations accountable, student debt relief, banning congressional stock
trading, raising the minimum wage, and union power.

Kurt Schrader opposes these things. Heck, he did not even support
impeaching Trump for Jan. 6.

As ABC News reports, Schrader "enraged colleagues shortly after the Jan. 6
attack on the Capitol when he likened the swift impeachment push to an
attempted 'lynching' of then-President Donald Trump."
