One Voice PAC is an organization I created to help bring progressive change to Washington, and one of our top priorities this year is helping elect progressive candidates to Congress who will challenge the status quo.
Last month, we introduced an initial slate of endorsed candidates: Darcy Burner (WA-8), Andre Carson (IN-7), Joe Garcia (FL-25), Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15), Ashwin Madia (MN-3), Dan Seals (IL-10), and Carol Shea-Porter (NH-1).
In addition to our initial slate, I know there are many other candidates running this year who are also committed to progressive values. We're still planning to grow our list of One Voice supported candidates for this election, and I'd love to get your input to make sure we don't miss anyone!
One Voice is looking for candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to our three primary issue focuses: changing our country's foreign policy stance and ending the Iraq occupation, eradicating poverty and promoting opportunity, and changing the face of politics by bringing historically marginalized communities and individuals into the political process.
It seems that there are more progressive candidates who are committed to these issues than ever before, and what better way to find them than to ask the community directly?
That's where you come in. By filling out our nomination form, you can help shine a spotlight on the next generation of leaders who will help to bring about the change we need. We'll be holding this nominating phase open until the end of this week, so I hope you'll click here to nominate a candidate today!
While the presidential race at the top of the ticket is deservedly getting most of the attention this election season, we cannot lose sight of the importance of adding to the number of true progressives in Congress.
The American people are clearly ready for change, giving us a historic opportunity this November and in the next Congress. But we have to take full advantage of this moment, which is why I hope you'll help us identify progressive candidates to support by filling out our nomination form today!
