With the launch of People First Future, we're proud to announce our first slate of endorsements.

These candidates are fighting for a future where everyone counts, and I hope you'll join me in supporting them. peoplefirstfuture.com

.@candacefor24 is a working mom who herself experienced childhood poverty and overcame incredible odds to serve her community. She'll be a tremendous advocate for Texans in Congress, on issues from expanding affordable health care to improving our public schools.

Marie Newman has been a lifelong advocate for hardworking families like the one she grew up in. @Marie4Congress will be a representative that the people of Illinois’ Third District can trust to listen, empathize, and work to solve the problems they face every day.

.@wendydavis is a proven fighter who will put the people of Texas’ 21st Congressional District first. Wendy knows what it’s like to struggle with the cost of health care and housing, and she will give voice to the thousands of Texans who are struggling in silence.

Since day one, @LaurenUnderwood has delivered results and provided relief for families in Illinois’ 14th district and across the country. Her expertise and passion are unmatched, and I'm proud to endorse her reelection.

J.D. Scholten is a champion for hardworking Iowan families and rural communities. In his signature Winnebago, he's visited all 39 counties in Iowa's Fourth district--and as their representative, he will fight on their behalf.

.@GinaOrtizJones has dedicated her career to her community and country. As a member of Congress, she'll work for quality health care, good jobs, and a working families agenda for Texans and all Americans.

Lucy McBath is a tireless champion for social justice and economic security for the people of Georgia. @lucymcbath is fighting for a safer America, free from gun violence, and I couldn't be proud to stand with her in that fight.

More than ever, we need leaders in Washington like @MondaireJones who understand the challenges that hardworking families face everyday. He has the experience, vision, and grit to fight for a people first agenda in Washington, and I’m proud to lend my support to his campaign.

As a lawyer, mother of two, a breast cancer survivor, and activist, @SimaforTX knows how to build bridges in Washington to get things done. Texas deserves leaders like Sima who will fight for progress on affordable health care, gun violence prevention, and climate change.

Julie Oliver overcame incredible odds to graduate high school, college, law school, and become an expert on quality affordable health care. @JulieOliverTX will bring that dedication and expertise to Congress and fight for a brighter future for Texans and all Americans.

Sri Preston Kulkarni is a lifelong public servant with nearly fifteen years experience protecting our country's national security interests abroad. @SriPKulkarni will put partisanship aside and fight for a more prosperous future for all Texans.

Last but not least, @Castro4Congress has been a relentless advocate for greater opportunity for San Antonians, Texans, and all Americans. Joaquin is fighting for future where everyone counts, and I couldn't be prouder to support him.
