We’re SO thrilled to congratulate and welcome these new members of Congress who won their elections last Tuesday on a platform of supporting Medicare for All!
We also want to congratulate the over 100 Medicare for All-supporting incumbents whose races have been called so far and who have been re-elected to Congress — from Rep. Pramila Jayapal, to Senator Alex Padilla, and many more. Even more, several races of Medicare for All-supporting candidates are still yet to be called.
Every new Congress gives us the opportunity to re-introduce Medicare for All and organize to secure new members of Congress to co-sponsor the bill.
Last Tuesday's elections prove once again that Medicare for All is a winning issue from Texas to Florida to Pennsylvania.
Voters – especially youth voters – made it clear that they support health care as a human right. It’s not a radical idea that everyone should be able to see a health care provider and not have it bankrupt them, and we saw that in last Tuesday’s results.
These victories are a testament to our movement’s strength, and we’re excited for the opportunity to work alongside these health care champions.
With excitement,
Jasmine Ruddy
