Candace Valenzuela would be the first Black Latina ever elected to the U.S. Congress. She’s lived the impacts of systemic poverty and structural racism, and she’ll elevate the experiences of so many families in Texas and across the country who far too often go unheard in Congress. Mike Siegel is a former public school teacher and employment lawyer who nearly defeated Republican Congressman Mike McCaul in 2018. As a city attorney in Austin, Mike has fought on behalf of immigrant families, firefighters, low-income renters, and constituents in support of common sense gun regulations. He’ll continue to lead those fights in Congress. We need both of these progressive fighters in Congress, but Republicans are going to pull out every trick in the book to keep Texas from turning even more blue. That’s why Candace and Mike are counting on strong grassroots support to win. Will you pitch in now to help them launch their general election campaigns and flip these Republican-held districts? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you for all you do to support DFA’s work and elect progressives up and down the ticket. Together, we’ll expand our House majority with progressives, flip the Senate, and defeat Donald Trump this November. — Charles Charles Chamberlain, Chair ![]() |
