Danielle,
First of all, thank you.
A few days ago, I sent a message asking this team to support four terrific Democratic House candidates running in tough races. And Warren Democrats responded in a big way.
So today, let's keep it up — let's fight alongside three outstanding Latinx women running for Congress for the first time: Michelle De La Isla in Kansas's Second District, Georgette Gómez (California 53rd), and Teresa Leger Fernandez (New Mexico 3rd).
If we get in this fight, we can elect these three candidates, defend our Democratic House majority, and lay the groundwork for big, structural change in 2021 and beyond to make our country work for everyone — not just the rich and powerful.
I'm honored to endorse these candidates because they know we can't just tinker around the edges of the problems we face — we need bold reforms that root out corruption and put power in the hands of the people.
Michelle De La Isla is a fearless fighter who knows the value of standing up for working families. As mayor of Topeka, she has proven herself to be a public servant whose first priority is the people.
At a time when working families are under constant attack, the Second Congressional District of Kansas deserves a fighter like Michelle in Congress, and that is why I'm proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with her in this fight.
Danielle, we need leaders with courage and conviction in Congress, which is why I'm also proud to add my voice to the broad coalition supporting Georgette Gómez.
Georgette is committed to fighting for fundamental change that will touch the lives of people. As we meet this moment of crisis, Georgette's proven track record of fighting to expand affordable housing and take action on climate change will be indispensable in Congress.
Teresa Leger Fernandez has spent decades working in the diverse Native American, Latino, and rural communities of Northern New Mexico and understands what poverty, environmental degradation, and governmental neglect look like.
I'm proud to endorse Teresa because she also knows the value of opportunity and will fight for bold and courageous action to help lift working families out of poverty, protect our environment, and achieve equality.
We need these three women's voices in Congress. They'll make us proud, and they'll make real change. But first, we've got to do everything we can to help make sure they win.
Building a grassroots movement makes a real difference.
It's how a bunch of Davids were able to beat the Wall Street Goliath and make the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau a reality. It's how we were able to beat one of the big banks' favorite senators in 2012 in Massachusetts.
And it's how we're going to win in 2020: keeping the House, taking back the Senate, winning the White House, and picking up seats across the country before the beginning of a powerfully important redistricting process.
