I had previously promoted the NY-02 congressional candidacy of Liuba Grechen Shirley, who never really stopped running even after losing to Peter King in 2018, but by a smaller margin that anyone had lost to King in some time. Today, she announced on Facebook that she is not up for a rematch. The reason: She is expecting her third child in April! She will continue to support other moms running for office as progressive Democrats.
In the mean time, we have another exciting candidate; Jackie Gordon, an immigrant from Jamaica, a teacher, a veteran, and a mom of two, one of whom is also serving our country in the military! She already has an impressive list of endorsements and more will likely follow.
Send Jackie Gordon some cash to get her campaign off to a running start!
