Congressional candidate Carl Sciortino (D. MA-05) is receiving some major support for his campaign. He's already won over Raúl Grijalva (D. AZ-03), Keith Ellison (D. MN-05) and the Progressive Action PAC:
When our good friend Ed Markey was elected to the Senate this year, we knew that having a strong progressive leader succeed him in the House would be a top priority. The next Congressman from Massachusetts’ 5th will be joining a Congress that is paralyzed by Republican obstructionism. We need someone who will help us protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits, stop Republicans from gutting our new healthcare system and fight Republican attempts to put the needs of big corporations ahead of yours. That’s why we decided to join many of our friends and endorse Carl Sciortino.
We are partnering with Blue America, People for the American Way Voters Alliance, Congressmen Alan Grayson and Jared Polis to help Carl pay to run his latest TV ad.
But wait, we didn't tell you the best part!
I don’t know about you, but we remember the first time we heard Eric Clapton play Unplugged. It is one of the best known, and bestselling albums ever produced. The album was so special that the recording industry gave it the highest award ever created—the Diamond award for selling over 10,000,000 albums across America. If you’ve been to a Hard Rock Café or any music museum, you’ve certainly seen your fair share of gold and platinum records, but you’ve never seen one of these.
This stunning 30" x 30" custom plaque isn't something you can buy in a store, no matter how much money you have. Only small handfuls were ever made and were never sold. Our friends at Blue America are going to raffle this unique award off to one lucky contributor.

And the Progressive Change Campaign Committee is getting behind Sciortino's campaign:
In one month, Democratic voters will pick the next member of Congress from Massachusetts. This person will be seated this year -- replacing now-Senator Ed Markey and voting on key issues.
One major candidate thinks Citizens United was correctly decided, opposes Elizabeth Warren's student loan bill, and opposes Medicare for All. That's not our candidate!
Today, we're proud to join progressive Reps. Alan Grayson, Mark Takano, Keith Ellison, and Raul Grijalva in endorsing state Rep. Carl Sciortino in this race.
Can you give congressional progressives a bold ally by donating $3 to Carl Sciortino's campaign immediately?

We hosted a debate with all 5 candidates in this race.
Nobody was more progressive than Carl -- who supports prosecuting Wall Street bankers, increasing Social Security benefits, passing Warren's student loan bill, and reversing Citizens United.
Carl proved these past two weeks that he is the bold leader we can count on. Carl immediately made clear he would vote no on bombing Syria and called on his opponents to "stop waffling" on the issue.
A week after Carl took a stand, his opponents joined his position on Syria.
We need true progressive leaders who will stick their neck out first, not wait and follow.
If you want more progressives in Congress who will actually lead, please donate $3 to fuel Carl's campaign in the final month.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
