Dear Friend,
Yesterday, I made it official: I filed my papers as the Democratic Nominee for Congress from San Francisco. Of all the honors conferred to me by my colleagues – Whip, Leader, Speaker of the House – there is none greater than that conferred to me by my constituents in electing me as their Representative.
After this unprecedented and historic week, it is clear that Democrats are giving much more leverage to the people rather than the special interests. I wanted to share with you – our VIPS, our volunteers in politics who make everything we do in Washington possible – my Statement of Candidacy that outlines our work For The People this term and respectfully ask that you support my campaign.
Please follow me on Twitter, join us for our Weekly Volunteer Grassroots Updates, and stay tuned for upcoming VIP volunteer opportunities to help re-elect our great Democratic Representatives and elect Democratic challengers running to unseat Republicans in districts across America.
My full statement is here:
Statement of Candidate as the Democratic Nominee for Congress From San Francisco
It is my honor to represent San Francisco and our values of liberty, justice and equality for all in Congress.
As your Representative, I have brought home billions in resources to support good paying union jobs, housing, green infrastructure, health care and public education.
During my current term, we delivered COVID relief to put money in people's pockets, vaccinations in arms, children back in school, and people safely back to work; Infrastructure funding to rebuild with fairness and protect the environment; CHIPS and Science legislation for American independence from the supply chain and inclusive innovation in STEM; the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce health care costs, create jobs and tackle the climate crisis; the PACT Act to protect our veterans exposed to burn pits; historic gun violence prevention to make communities safer; and diplomacy to strengthen our alliances abroad.
And we need more. That’s why we are expanding the Affordable Care Act; strengthening Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; increasing resources for increasing resources for HIV/AIDS, mental wellness and persons with disabilities; and addressing Monkeypox.
Our progress is about meeting people’s needs and putting working people over entrenched special interests. While big business lobbies against lower prices for insulin, gas, and groceries, I’m protecting consumers and fighting price gouging. While extremists push a national abortion ban and undermine privacy rights, I’m fighting for reproductive freedom and marriage equality.
I am running for re-election to continue our fight to improve people’s lives and defend our Democracy, and respectfully seek your vote.
Thank you,
Nancy
