When we elect WFP champions, we’re electing leaders to bring transformative change. John, With everything happening in Congress right now, it can be easy to forget that Election Day is on Tuesday. On Thursday, WFP champions and progressives in the House once again held …

We aren’t simply fighting for the position of Mayor of Buffalo

You’d think that after I won the nomination and took on these attacks from the GOP, the party would have my back. Instead, the corporate Democratic establishment is refusing to endorse me, and the NY Democratic Party chair compared me to a KKK leader. In June, nurse, mot…
