Sanders's original statement includes bios of the candidates: Let’s Send These Progressives to Congress

Charles Booker is running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, where Mitch McConnell is currently up for re-election. Charles is a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives and has picked up a lot of momentum in recent weeks. As Louisville has become an epicenter of national tragedy and protests due to the police murders of Breonna Taylor and David McAtee, Charles has shown leadership by showing up on the frontlines. He was an endorser of our campaign for president and supports progressive policies such as criminal justice reform, Medicare for All, and getting big money out of politics.

Samelys Lopez is a community organizer running for U.S. House in New York’s 15th District. She worked with Housing Justice for All, a statewide coalition that secured historic tenant rent reforms in New York State. Her leadership has been instrumental in building a community-led grassroots political movement in the Bronx, and now she is ready to fight for our progressive values in Congress. She is currently being outspent by her opponents, which is why your contribution will make a big difference in her race.

Jamaal Bowman is a public school teacher and principal in the Bronx who is running for U.S. House in New York’s 16th District to unseat a 16-term incumbent Democrat. Jamaal understands that low-income families are locked out of opportunity and a decent life due to a system that is rigged to benefit the wealthy. In Congress he will lead the fight for investing in our public schools, ending mass incarceration, and addressing the housing crisis. He is someone we can trust to be a powerful advocate for a progressive agenda in Congress.

Mondaire Jones is a progressive community leader running for U.S. House in New York’s 17th District. His campaign platform aligns with many of the same issues that were at the center of our campaign for president, including Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, and criminal justice reform. As an attorney, he has led efforts to win justice for vulnerable communities through litigation and public policy. If elected to Congress, he’ll fight for bold, progressive policies that help working people.

Mike Siegel is a civil rights attorney and former public school teacher who is running for U.S. House in Texas’s 10th District. His race is an important opportunity to not only elect a progressive to Congress, but also flip a seat from red to blue. He is running a people-powered campaign that doesn’t rely on support from corporate PACs because he knows that huge corporations use their money and influence to rig our government and economy to their benefit. After spending his career fighting to give everyone a fair shot at success, he is now ready to take that fight to Congress.

Cori Bush is a nurse and community activist running for U.S. House in Missouri’s 1st District. She emerged as a leader while working on the frontlines of the Ferguson movement as a protestor, clergy member, medic, and victim of police assault. Now she is continuing the bold fight for justice because she knows what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck and be burdened with student and medical debt. Cori is someone we can count on to stand with working people and provide true representation for our movement in Congress.

“Rep. Lacy Clay, a Congressional Black Caucus member who’s represented Missouri’s 1st Congressional District for nearly two decades. Clay succeeded his father, who served three decades in Congress.”

So a combined 50 years in Congress for Papa Doc and Baby Doc Clay. I’m sure there must be another family member to carry on the tradition if they can stave off the Bernie Sanders commie challenger. Maybe Baby Doc can select who follows him in his will.
