John – Today voters are headed to the polls in New York and Florida, where five Brand New Congress candidates are on the ballot in our final primaries this year.
Our candidates are fired up and ready to win!

While AOC is unopposed in today’s primary, BNC Reps. Jamaal Bowman and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick are both up for re-election.
Jamaal sent shockwaves through the political establishment two years ago when he defeated a 32-year incumbent as a first-time candidate. Sheila took office in January of this year after BNC helped her win the FL-20 special election.
BNC’s Melanie D’Arrigo is up against a crowded primary for the open seat in Long Island (NY-03), while Brittany Ramos DeBarros is running against a conservative Democrat for the chance to unseat insurrectionist Nicole Malliotakis in Staten Island (NY-11).
We can’t afford to lose even one progressive seat in Congress, and if we’re really going to get things done we have to elect MORE bold progressives. Today’s primary is one of the last opportunities to define progressive power in Congress next year.
Help us grow the BNC Caucus by investing in our work with a monthly contribution, starting today. Click below to get started and pick the amount that works for you. |
As soon as today’s primaries are over, we need to gear up for the general election, which is already less than three months away!
Unfortunately, fundraising has slowed down considerably this month. We’re currently running $10,000 short of our August fundraising goal, and it’s impacting our ability to properly support our candidates.
We can’t let this trend continue, because we need every single candidate who gets through to the general election to win their seats in November.
While we work on turning out the vote today, can you pitch in with a contribution of $50, $25, or even $5 now to get us back on track?
Please remind your friends and family in New York and Florida to vote today! In solidarity, Brand New Congress |
