John – Amy Vilela is one of our ORIGINAL Brand New Congress candidates and holds a special place in our hearts.
We proudly stood with Amy in her groundbreaking 2018 run for Congress, which was featured in the documentary film Knock Down the House alongside three other BNC races. We’ve continued to work closely with Amy as she established herself as a powerhouse in the progressive movement.
Few people know this, because Amy doesn’t like taking credit for her incredible work, but after running in 2018, Amy set out to work with progressive candidates and help them get their campaigns off the ground. Her support was instrumental in Cori Bush’s race to defeat a 50-year political dynasty in 2020 – and they have continued to have each other’s back.
