John: We’re excited to announce our newest endorsement, Mondaire Jones for Congress in New York’s 17th district!

If elected, Mondaire would be the first openly gay, Black member of Congress. He understands first hand the struggles that LGBTQ+ communities, people of color and working families face every single day in our country.

As a member of the U.S. House, he’ll be a steadfast champion for big, bold, progressive ideas like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal, while breaking barriers in the process.

Mondaire is the only candidate in this race supporting Medicare for All and student debt forgiveness. He’s prepared to fight for the big, structural solutions we need, but only if he can break out of his crowded primary.

Can you rush a split contribution between Mondaire’s campaign and DFA today to help him win this competitive primary and get elected to Congress?

At Democracy for America, we’ve long believed that if we want change, we must change the kind of leaders running our country.

Mondaire’s unique perspective and background makes him the perfect candidate to do just that:

“Growing up poor, black, and gay, raised by a single mom who worked multiple jobs to provide for our family, I never imagined someone like me could make it to the halls of Congress. I'm running for Congress because, for me, policy is personal. If we are going to change Washington, we need to change the kind of people we send there.” -- Mondaire

We’re honored to endorse Mondaire Jones in this race for Congress in New York’s 17th Congressional District because we know he’ll be the kind of fresh, bold, and progressive leader his community and our country needs in Washington in the years ahead.

Help Mondaire win his crowded primary and give the people of NY-17 the leadership they deserve. Chip in a split donation now >>

DFA has 4,951 members in New York’s 17th Congressional District, 120,834 in the state of New York, and more than one million members nationwide. Let's show the power of our movement by delivering big for Mondaire and make sure a Medicare for All champion wins this race.

Thanks for being part of the team,
