To put more power in the hands of working people, where it belongs, we need to elect more Democrats up and down the ballot in 2022. Today, I’m endorsing six more candidates who know how to fight and know how to win:
.@StaceyAbrams lifts up the voices of Georgia families who have been counted out and left behind. She has a vision and a plan to help working Georgians succeed. I fought by her side in 2018, I’m proud to endorse her today, and I can’t wait to call her Governor Abrams in 2023. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Stacey Abrams for gover
.@TinaKotek has already gotten big things done for working families in Oregon, like raising the minimum wage, expanding health coverage, and passing paid sick leave and paid family leave. I’m glad to endorse her for governor so she can keep up the fight. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Tina Kotek for governor
I’m honored to endorse @Nikki4Congress in #IL13 because she’s a proven champion for working people—from advocating for better pay and safe working conditions for retail workers and meatpackers to helping raise the minimum wage in Illinois. We need her in Congress. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Nikki Budzinski for IL-
.@EricaForUS is a mother, minister, educator, and experienced legislator. Her plan for a Rural New Deal will lift up family farms, raise the minimum wage, unionize the South, and deliver universal broadband and health care. I’m glad to endorse her for Congress in #NC01. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Erica Smith for NC-01.
.@NidaAllam is the first Muslim woman elected to office in North Carolina. She’s delivered real change—like a $15 minimum wage for county workers and property tax relief that helped families stay in their homes during the pandemic. I’m happy to endorse her for Congress in #NC04. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Nida Allam for NC-04.
I’ve been able to count on @BrownForMD as a partner in Congress, and I know he’ll continue to fight for justice and equity as Maryland Attorney General. He stands up for working families, students, and the people who most need a government on their side. I’m proud to endorse him. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Anthony Brown for Maryl

If you’ve ever experienced the sheer joy of having a flight canceled & sitting on the floor of a terminal while on hold with customer service, listening to upbeat elevator music for hours in order to receive a refund in the form of a measly voucher, I’ve got great news for you:
The Biden-Harris administration recently announced new rules that protect airline travelers, including requiring airlines to automatically give full cash refunds. But we faced a roadblock while getting this across the finish line.
I noticed one line in the proposed FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 that completely stripped the “automatic” part out of the automatic refunds. Customers would be forced to manually request refunds in writing or online, wasting time and energy.

This year, nearly 300k Americans got hit with sledgehammer news that they have prostate cancer. Then came another sledgehammer: the cost of treatment. A drug called Xtandi could save their lives but costs up to $190,000/year. It’s a familiar story of corporate greed.
Taxpayer dollars helped develop Xtandi. Just to show what chumps Big Pharma makes of Americans, Astellas—the company that manufactures Xtandi—charges U.S. customers as much as six times more than patients in other countries.
The Biden-Harris administration is fighting back against Big Pharma’s greed: under a new proposal, if taxpayer dollars helped develop a drug—and if the company holding the patent has blocked access by jacking up the price—other companies could produce lower-cost generics.

Two years ago today, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It’s been a big win for Massachusetts—with $6 billion announced so far to repair roads and bridges, expand broadband, replace lead pipes, electrify buses, and more. Here are just a few examples:

I never thought I’d run for office. But 12 years ago today, I launched a campaign to represent Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate—because it was a way to keep fighting for a country that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
I started out 17 points down. My opponent had heaps of campaign cash from Wall Street. But we ran a grassroots campaign. This was the crowd at our first organizing meeting later that fall. Person to person, we built a movement, and we won. #TBT A huge crowd of volunteers fills row after row after row of seats at an organizing event in 2011.
The past 12 years have shown us that when we organize, fight righteous fights, and hold those in power accountable, we can make positive change. Like taxing giant corporations. Lowering the cost of hearing aids. Cracking down on rich tax cheats. Funding infrastructure jobs.

When we get organized and get in the fight, we can beat back powerful special interests and make real change. Here’s how we achieved the biggest advance in corporate tax fairness in three decades:

My story doesn’t follow a straight path. I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class. After my daddy’s heart attack, my family came within an inch from losing our house, but my mother got a minimum wage job at Sears that saved our family.
I dropped out of college at 19 to get married, but got a second chance at a public college that cost $50 a semester and got to live my dream of becoming a public school teacher.
I’ve dedicated my career to studying why families go broke and fighting to rebuild the middle class. After Wall Street crashed our economy, I fought to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has already returned about $16 billion to Americans who’ve been cheated.
