Justice Democrats, a national progressive organization co-led by former Bernie Sanders campaign staffers, today endorsed me in the 2018 Democratic primary election for Texas Congressional District 21! Justice Democrats aim to “reboot the Democratic Party and win a progressive majority in Congress in 2018.”
Justice Democrats was created by Cenk Uygur, CEO of The Young Turks, Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk and Zack Exley and Saikat Chakrabarti. Exley and Chakrabarti are former Bernie Sanders campaign staffers.
Justice Democrats’ endorsement follows that of Democracy for America, the million-member-strong progressive grassroots organization with 79,226 members in Texas. Locally, I’ve also recently won the endorsement of Bexar County Young Democrats and recently won a decisive victory at the Bexar County Democrats Primary Straw Poll event on Nov. 11.
I’m committed to fighting the biggest bullies in our politics: corporations, Wall Street, and the billionaire class, and I’m glad to have folks like Justice Democrats in my corner. Together, we fight for good jobs, a vibrant environment, and the recognition of health care as a right, not a privilege for the wealthy.
