.@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.

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.
