Indivisibles,

We’ve talked to local groups, we’ve vetted candidates, and we’ve counted the votes. Now, we’re excited to announce our latest round of national endorsements for the 2022 midterm election! All the candidates were hand-picked by local groups and received a supermajority of support from Indivisibles in their district or state. We’re so grateful to the local groups who nominated these candidates -- this process wouldn’t have been possible without their help every step of the way.

Before we announce the endorsements, we want to take a moment to congratulate IndivisiCandidates Rep. Cori Bush (MO-1), Trish Gunby (MO-2), and Randi McCallian (MO-8) for winning their primaries on Tuesday! We’re proud to have endorsed these amazing candidates and we’re going to do everything we can to make sure they win in November.

Now, without further ado, our latest slate of nationally endorsed candidates are:

We are excited to announce that Indivisibles have voted to endorse Rep. Katie Porter (CA-47), Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51), Josh Riley (NY-19), Ashley Ehasz (PA-01), John Fetterman (PA-Sen), Rep. Tom Malinowski (NJ-07), and Herb Jones (VA-01)!

• Rep. Katie Porter and her whiteboard of truth have brought a new and powerful voice to Congress, one that strongly represents Indivisible’s commitment to ethics and transparency in government. As a single working mother of three, she has a deep understanding of the challenges that working families face, decades of experience in financial oversight and consumer advocacy, and an unrivaled ability to explain complex financial issues in a clear and relatable way. By making sure Katie returns to Washington in 2022, we can continue our fight for the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, higher wages for workers, and ethics reform. 
• Rep. Sara Jacobs has made the families, kids, and workers of San Diego a priority, securing millions of dollars in assistance to provide equity and access to the internet for school districts and libraries. Sara has also been a leader in the House in the response to the disastrous Dobbs decision. She introduced the My Body, My Data Act to protect private reproductive healthcare information, and co-led the Right to Contraception Act. We’re proud to endorse her and know she’ll continue to be a force for progressive change in Congress.
• Josh Riley is a 5th generation Upstate New Yorker with proven experience in taking on tough fights. From challenging the Trump Administration in the Supreme Court, passing legislation as a lawyer in the Senate, and representing kids from low-income families in civil rights litigation, Josh has always boldly acted in the interest of the people. He is running for Congress to deliver results for Upstate New York and revitalize the working class communities that have been devastated by the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs. Josh has the experience, smarts, understanding, and drive to deliver big wins for working families. We’re proud to endorse him and can’t wait to see fight for an inclusive economy.
• The oldest of three to a single mother, Ashley Ehasz watched her family struggle with health, substance abuse, and affording their rent. At 17, she joined the Army knowing it was her best shot at affording a college education and finding stability. Ashley graduated from West Point, trained to be an Apache helicopter pilot, and later served as a pilot-in-command in Iraq. She returned, attended graduate school, and started working for her local government. Ashley made all the right choices, but has still found herself doing all she can to keep stable while juggling her student loan debt, health care costs, and mortgage. She understands the everyday challenges families in her district are facing, and that they deserve to be represented by someone who will roll up their sleeves and do something about it. Ashley will be an outspoken advocate for those struggling most and we’re proud to endorse her. 
• John Fetterman doesn’t look or act like a typical politician, which is why he is exactly the right person we need in the U.S. Senate. Whether teaching GED classes as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Pittsburgh, officiating one of the first same-sex marriages in the commonwealth as Mayor of Braddock, or overhauling Pennsylvania’s clemency process as Lieutenant Governor, John has been fearlessly dedicated to showing up for his state. For the last two decades, John has remained clear in his beliefs that healthcare is a fundamental human right, climate change is an existential threat, corporate money has no place in politics, and the right to abortion and contraception are non-negotiable. Having John in the Senate will bring us that much closer to eliminating the filibuster and winning structural changes that will support working families.
• Rep. Tom Malinowski knows there are big problems to tackle in this country, and he’s ready to spend another term working to fix them as the representative for New Jersey’s 7th district. He’s already made great progress for New Jersey, spending the last four years in Congress working hard for the people of his district. Because of Tom’s hard work, the Gateway Tunnel and Protal Bridge projects have broken ground, more microchip manufacturing jobs are on the way, healthcare access during a pandemic was bolstered, and more. It’s Tom’s uncompromising dedication to people-first solutions that has made such a thoughtful and effective policymaker, and we’re proud to endorse him.
• Last, but not least, we’re proud to endorse Herb Jones for Virginia’s 1st district. Herb knew he needed to run for Congress the day his representative and Republican opponent voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results. As a retired Army colonel, Herb has spent his life putting service to community and country above all else. In Congress, he will fight to establish universal Pre-K, secure universal access to high-quality healthcare, codify abortion rights for all, and expand broadband to rural communities. Herb is the best choice for VA-01, and we’re proud to endorse him.

We can’t say enough good things about this exceptional group of candidates, and we’re going to put all of our support behind them to make sure they win in November. Indivisibles have already sent over a million texts and knocked on hundreds of thousands of doors, mobilizing voters to support IndivisiCandidates. We’re going to bring that same level of energy for this latest round of endorsed candidates -- but we need your help.

We rely on grassroots funding to run all of our electoral programs from direct voter contact to ads, trainings, and direct contributions to IndivisiCandidates. Can you pitch in $10 to help fund our electoral work and get these candidates across the finish line in November?

Indivisibles have the power to change the political landscape through their endorsements. If your group has endorsed a great candidate for House, Senate, or Governor, let us know and nominate them for a national endorsement!

PS - Did you see our latest electoral poll on Maddow last night? Watch and share the full segment here -- if we learned anything from the incredible results this week in Kansas from state activists defeating the MAGA GOP’s attempt to roll back abortion rights, it’s that when abortion is on the ballot, we can win. Let’s take this victory and use it to galvanize voters across the country to support our proudly pro-choice candidates, defend our freedoms and stop the extremism.
