Indivisibles,

We’ve finished tallying the votes and we’re excited to announce our final
round of endorsements for the 2022 midterm cycle! With the addition of
eleven new IndivisiCandidates, this year we made a total of 38
endorsements in House, Senate, and gubernatorial races across the
country. 

Our endorsement program is a team effort and we’re incredibly grateful to
the local Indivisible groups who nominated these candidates and to every
Indivisible who took part in the voting process. This work helps elevate
candidates who have local grassroots support and showcase a new class of
leaders who reflect our progressive values and priorities. Without further
ado, here are the final additions to our slate of endorsed candidates:

[1]GIF of Becca Balint, Antonio Daza, Dianne Dodson Black, Jeff Jackson,
Jevin Hodge, Scott Huffman, Beto O’Rourke, Will Rollins, Melanie
Stansbury, Raphael Warnock, and Peter Welch.

* For eight years, [ [link removed] ]Becca Balint has fought for the people of Vermont
in the State Senate, but her work to support and foster the Green
Mountain State began much earlier in her role as a public school
teacher. Becca’s love for teaching and deep dedication to the young
people of Vermont has defined her career, and has guided her in her
work to deliver historic wins for all Vermonters. From a minimum wage
increase, to paid family leave, and an historic climate bill, Becca
has fought to build a strong progressive vision for Vermont and is
ready to take that fight to the U.S. House of Representatives.
* After witnessing the violent insurrection and his own Congressman’s
vote to overturn the 2020 election, [ [link removed] ]Antonio Daza knew he couldn’t
sit on the sidelines. Antonio is running because he knows that
democracy can’t be taken for granted, and that we can be doing more
than just protecting it. As an immigrant, a refugee, and a gay man in
the South, Antonio is no stranger to the ways our systems are failing
people. In Congress, he’ll fight to defend our democracy, expand
access to healthcare, combat climate change, protect workers, and
champion the working class.
* [ [link removed] ]Dianne Dodson Black is a cosmetologist and small business owner,
and the first black woman to run for Congress in Mississippi's 1st
district. She is running to give voters a seat at the table and fight
for Medicaid expansion, protect abortion rights, and defend our
democracy. Dianne would bring to Congress both long-time community
leadership and people-first representation, and Indivisible is proud
to endorse her.
* When [ [link removed] ]Jeff Jackson became one of the youngest NC State Senators in
2014, he got to work reforming the criminal justice system, fighting
against illegal gerrymandering, and helped repeal HB 2, the
discriminatory, anti-trans “bathroom bill”. Now, he’s ready to tackle
head-on the challenges facing North Carolina’s 14th district:
elementary schools with lead pipes, failing roads and bridges, and an
affordable housing shortage. As a father of three, Jeff’s approach to
public service is one that strives to serve our future well, and we’re
proud to endorse him for Congress.
* A fourth-generation Texan born and raised in El Paso, [ [link removed] ]Beto
O’Rourke’s fiery dedication to helping Texas families and willingness
to stand up to MAGA politicians in the pocket of the gun lobby has
made him a household name. He has publicly confronted cynical
politicians unwilling to even discuss common-sense gun reform, stood
up for reproductive freedom, and taken the lead on community relief
efforts when others fled for luxury resorts. Beto’s deep connection
with the people of Texas and his experience as a small business owner,
community leader, and U.S. Representative means that he’s ready on day
one to bring new, progressive leadership to the state.
* Few candidates bring a stronger understanding of the needs of low- and
middle-income families than [ [link removed] ]Jevin Hodge. Born in Tempe and raised
in a single-parent household that counted on affordable housing to
survive, as an adult he has dedicated his career to public service.
He’s the head of Arizona’s oldest Head Start center, the Booker T.
Washington Child Development Center, and has seen first-hand how early
childhood education can transform lives. He’s committed to making sure
our schools are fully funded and equitable, fighting for voting rights
and fair elections, and ensuring every Arizonan has access to
high-quality, affordable healthcare.
* Born into a proud union family in northern New Mexico and raised in
Albuquerque, [ [link removed] ]Melanie Stansbury is intimately aware of the critical
issues facing New Mexico’s 1st District, and the urgency for real
solutions to help working families. She fights every day to address
land and water issues, food insecurity, crumbling energy
infrastructure, and the climate crisis. Melanie has also been vocal on
key progressive priorities like protecting abortion access, canceling
student debt, raising the federal minimum wage, strengthening
protections for workers, and passing Medicare for All. 
* Since 2007, [ [link removed] ]Peter Welch has been fighting in Congress to support
working families, confront the climate crisis, and strengthen our
democracy. Whether he’s passing the Inflation Reduction Act to lower
our prescription drug prices, ensure corporations are paying their
fair share, and make greener, cleaner technology accessible to working
families or fighting to protect the right to abortion, regardless of
what zip code you live in, Peter has been a champion for solutions to
our country’s biggest challenges. In the Senate, Peter will bring the
same fighter’s spirit to carry on the work he started in the House.
* [ [link removed] ]Raphael Warnock is the model of moral leadership in the U.S.
Senate. After ousting corrupt MAGA Republican Kelly Loeffler and
securing our Democratic majority, he went to work to fight for
Georgians and Americans in every state. Senator Warnock has become one
of the strongest champions for voting rights legislation, and has also
been a key advocate for student debt cancellation, helping to bring
President Biden to his historic decision to reform loans and cancel
debts. As we face down MAGA extremism in the 2022 midterms, reelecting
champions for democracy and decency like Senator Warnock has never
been more important.
* [ [link removed] ]Scott Huffman first decided to enter politics when he saw his
10-year-old daughter become worried about her friends after the 2016
elections. He became a community leader, serving on the Mecklenburg
County Democratic Board of Directors and rallied his community to
speak out about the policies and direction of our nation. An original
founder and leader of Indivisible Charlotte, Scott held town halls,
raised billboards, and held his Republican Members of Congress
accountable for refusing to meet with constituents. Now he is ready to
go to Congress himself so that he can advocate for the people he knows
and loves. 
* Fighting injustice and standing up to violent extremists has defined
[ [link removed] ]Will Rollins’ career as a U.S. Attorney. Whether he was protecting
working people from corporate fraudsters or prosecuting domestic
terrorists, Will has been focused on defending the vulnerable and
fighting corruption and extremism. In Congress, he will be a fierce
defender of abortion freedoms and will work to pass essential
legislation to improve access to health care, take bold climate
action, confront extremism and disinformation, and reform our broken
criminal justice system.

Indivisible is proud to endorse these eleven progressive champions in a
time when we so desperately need representation that backs the ideals of
the American people. We need -- and deserve -- candidates who will fight
for abortion rights, common sense gun safety, healthcare for all, economic
justice, and our democracy. 

By endorsing these candidates, Indivisibles have taken the first step in
changing the power landscape. Now, we’ll see this work through by
registering voters, door-knocking, textbanking, and much, much more to
ensure these candidates win.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
