🧵 We are exactly one year away from the midterm elections.

And we are excited to tell you about our first endorsements for 2022! Our endorsements program focuses on supporting progressive champions so they have the resources required to compete in and win Democratic primaries.

Here's how our endorsements program works: Indivisible groups across the country nominate candidates, who are vetted and asked to complete a questionnaire covering vital issues. Then the nomination is voted on by all Indivisibles in the candidate's district.

Our endorsed candidates received a supermajority of support from their districts. They are progressive trailblazers already in Congress, and they are insurgents working to oust ineffectual incumbents.

And they are the keys to securing more wins for transformative legislation.

.@JCisnerosTX is a Mexican-American human rights and immigration attorney. In 2020, she came within 3,000 votes of toppling anti-choice, anti-labor, anti-environment Rep. Henry Cuellar. She’s back again because South Texas deserves a representative who actually fights for them.

.@KinaCollinsIL is an organizer and coalition builder who was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago. She’s a fighter for working class families who is intimately aware of the issues everyday folks in her district face: poverty, gun violence and inadequate healthcare access.

.@DarrigoMelanie is a proven leader, community organizer, and mother who understands the priorities of the working class families in her district. We know she is ready to fight with everything she has for a country that works for all of us.

.@PramilaJayapal has been laser focused on creating real, transformative change in our country during her three terms in Congress. She has become one of the most effective progressive leaders on Capitol Hill, using her power to lead the @USProgressives to take bold action.

.@MondaireJones is unlike many of the people we’re used to seeing in Congress, and it’s part of what makes him a great legislator. He has fought tooth and nail for major progressive priorities during his first term, so we’re ready to fight for him.

.@OdessaKellyTN was born & raised on the East Side of Nashville & has a long track record of advocating for her community. As the 1st Black woman elected to Congress from Tennessee, she will be ready to take on the big structural issues that limit working families' opportunities.

.@IlhanMN has established herself as a key member of the @USProgressives, fighting to tackle the climate crisis, expand Medicare, invest in affordable housing, fix our broken immigration system, defend democracy, and cancel student debt. She is a courageous progressive ally.

We’re going to throw all our political power behind these endorsed candidates, and bring real progressive change to your neighborhoods, districts, and states. If you're able, can you chip in today to help win and support all our work?: secure.actblue.com/donate/2022-en…

We’re thrilled to announce our starting slate of 2022 endorsements, but we’re just getting started! As local Indivisible groups continue nominating candidates, we will announce additional endorsements on a regular basis through September: indivisible.org/candidates
