The November election is the most consequential in our lifetimes.

Today, I'm proud to make additional endorsements of colleagues & candidates who will bring a diversity of lived experience to the halls of Congress & carry with them the voices of the people they represent.

Since she was sworn-in to the U.S. Senate, @TinaSmithMN has been a strong advocate for the people of Minnesota. She's been a leading voice in critical fights to expand housing, empower students, protect workers, support our elders, & more.

.@MikeEspyMS is no stranger to history-making campaigns. I look forward to watching him do it again to become the first Black Senator from his state in more than a century, and bring to Washington the voices of everyone in Mississippi.

.@Bradshaw2020 has dedicated her life to advocating for safe environmental & public health policies. Now, she’s fighting to bring that commitment to safe and healthy communities to the halls of Congress. I couldn’t be more proud to endorse her for the United States Senate.

.@Deb4CongressNM is a dear friend & colleague. Her leadership in Congress has given new voice to communities that have been left out & left behind for too long. I can't wait to continue working alongside her in pursuit of healthcare, economic, & environmental justice for all.

Time & again, @katieporteroc has held accountable those who threaten the health & safety of our communities. She has been a consistent voice in support of progressive policies, & led with an unshakable commitment to truth & justice. I'm so proud to endorse her re-election.

.@tedlieu has been a champion for the LGBTQ+ community — authoring the first legislation to ban conversion therapy — veterans, & immigrants, among so many others. He has consistently legislated his values & stood up for bold, progressive policies.

.@RobinLynneKelly is a strong advocate for the health & safety of our communities, and a champion for policies that make meaningful change. I’m so glad to have worked alongside her for an equitable public health response to the COVID crisis, & our work together continues.

In 2014, @CoriBush took to the streets in Ferguson as a medic & soon emerged as a leader in the movement for Black lives. She personifies activism & principled leadership, & her voice is deeply needed in Congress. I'm so proud to endorse her & can't wait to call her a colleague.

As an advocate, a mother, a social worker, & a small business owner, @karaforcongress will bring critical perspective & determination to the policy fights happening in Congress, from education & housing to public health & reproductive justice. I’m so proud to endorse her.

I have such respect for @TimsDesiree's energy, her commitment to service, & her belief in the power of policy & advocacy. She’ll be a bold advocate for public education, workers, clean water & air, comprehensive gun safety, & more. I look forward to working alongside her.

In the face of continued Republican attacks on healthcare & other basic human rights, we need leaders like @JulieOliverTX in Congress, who will uplift the voices of residents in her district & be a champion for policies that help people, not corporations & special interests.

Since entering politics, @PamKeithFL has been an outspoken advocate for students, workers, seniors, & veterans, & hers will be an important voice in the next Congress. The residents of FL-18 deserve a representative like Pam, & I’m proud to be in this fight alongside her.
