In 2016, our presidential choices were limited. Given those choices, it
was obvious to me that Bernie Sanders was the better candidate.
As a Latina former legislator deeply steeped in progressive politics,
choosing to support and campaign for Bernie made perfect sense.
Four years later though, we have more choices. And the obvious choice for
me is Elizabeth Warren.
Like the idea of

Here is why I decided to support her. If you agree, [ [link removed] ]will you please
join me in publicly endorsing Elizabeth Warren?
Like most Americans, I was listening and watching the candidates closely.
When Elizabeth talked about her struggles, I felt like she was talking to
people like me. I felt her words deeply when she talked about her parents
who almost lost their home after a medical crisis.
I felt her words when she talked about how she learned her work ethic from
her mom -- who put on a brave face and took a minimum wage job after
Elizabeth’s dad could no longer work.
Elizabeth Warren has lived our struggles.
When I got the opportunity to hear her speak at the She the People forum
in Houston, it was invigorating. When Elizabeth was asked how she would
appeal to women of color, she didn’t pander. She didn’t list off a litany
of problems that we don’t need to be reminded of every single time a
candidate tries to "connect."
Instead, she grounded her ideas in her own struggles and did so while also
acknowledging her privilege.
She talked about poverty. She talked about the never-ending burdens that
come with our gender, our race, our religion. She talked about the toll it
takes to move through life with tired backs and weary souls.
Her words weren’t just words -- they were statements that said, "I see
you." She was the only candidate to get a standing ovation. I had never
felt so understood by a presidential candidate before.
When I hear Elizabeth Warren speak, I hear a woman who takes our struggles
with her everywhere she goes. I hear a woman who understands that the
American people can’t afford anything less than bold solutions.
I see a woman who has proven time and time again that she doesn’t just
have the tenacity and the intelligence to lead this country and defeat
Trump, she has the heart and the courage.
At a time when so much is at stake, we need a candidate who has won tough
battles before. We need a progressive champion who has never lost an
election before.
We need someone who is brave and bold. Someone who can be humble and grow.
Someone who can unify Democrats and inspire our base and swing voters --
so we can defeat the most corrupt and hateful president of our lifetime.
We need Elizabeth Warren. [ [link removed] ]Friend, will you join me in
endorsing her?
She's received millions of grassroots donations from people like us.
[ [link removed] ]Will you donate today to help her win?
And if you can, [ [link removed] ]join the Road Warrior volunteers in Iowa. (As someone
who campaigns a lot, I'll tell you: It's inspiring.)
We got this! In solidarity...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here: [link removed]
