Great news: Senator Mark Kelly has come out in favor of fixing the
filibuster to pass voting rights! Since he stood up for democracy, we’re
standing up for him. We’re adding him to our [ [link removed] ]Give No Ground program
to protect vulnerable incumbents who fight for our values. [ [link removed] ]Give right
now to support this program and all our work!
Indivisibles,
We’ve talked to local groups, we’ve vetted candidates, and we’ve counted
the votes. And now, we’re excited to announce Indivisible’s second round
of national endorsements for the 2022 midterm cycle! These candidates were
hand-chosen by local groups and voted on by the grassroots, and they
elevate the values of the Indivisible movement.
We’re so grateful to the local groups who nominated these candidates --
this process wouldn’t have been possible without their help every step of
the way. So without further ado, our second slate of nationally endorsed
candidates are:
*insert pic here*
We are proud to announce our endorsement of Rep. Marie Newman (IL-06),
Mandela Barnes (WI-Sen), and Jamie McLeod-Skinner (OR-05).
* [ [link removed] ]Rep. Marie Newman, a long-time Indivisible champion, is getting our
endorsement (and rightfully so) for the third time this year. In early
2018, local Indivisibles in Chicago’s Southwest suburbs began knocking
doors and building grassroots support for Marie, animated by her
commitment to bold progressive solutions as she took on a
long-serving, conservative incumbent. Through her first term in
office, Marie has been a reliable and consistent progressive voice,
serving as a Vice Chair in the CPC as House Progressives shaped the
Democratic agenda, pushing for an inclusive recovery that delivers for
working families and to enact Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.
* [ [link removed] ]Mandela Barnes is an historic candidate running in an historic
moment. Poised to become the youngest ever and first Black Senator
from Wisconsin, and having grown up in one of the poorest zip codes in
the state, Mandela is the kind of transformational leader we need.
Mandela knows how important it is to eliminate the Senate filibuster
so we can implement bold, progressive ideas. Most important is passing
vital democracy reforms to protect voting rights, outlaw
gerrymandering, and end pay-to-play politics at a time when much of
the GOP has turned its back on free and fair elections as a
cornerstone of our democracy.
* [ [link removed] ]Jamie McLeod-Skinner is taking on Blue Dog Rep. Kurt Schrader,
who’s been one of the foremost obstacles to Biden’s popular Build Back
Better plan to invest in climate action, lowering prescription drug
costs, and supporting children and families. Jamie would make history
as Oregon’s first out LGBTQ member of Congress. Jamie is a true
problem solver who shows up, listens, and finds the resources to meet
peoples’ needs. Indivisible endorsed her in 2018, and we’re excited to
back her again.
Now, this isn’t just a formality: We’ll see this work through -- by
registering voters, door-knocking, text-banking, and much, much more to
ensure these candidates win. Indivisibles can help change the power
landscape because endorsing progressive candidates is just the first
step. If your group has endorsed a great candidate for House, Senate, or
Governor, let us know and [ [link removed] ]nominate them for a national endorsement! All
nominations are vetted by our team, we send candidates our questionnaire,
and then Indivisibles in the district vote on whether to endorse.
These candidates are great, but we know that there are many more races out
there where your groups’ endorsements, and a subsequent national
endorsement, can make all the difference. Want to make a local endorsement
but not sure how to get started? Not only is our [ [link removed] ]Endorsements Guide a
great resource, we’re also holding two training sections to dive deeper
into endorsements. Join us on Tuesday, Feb 1 at 8pm ET for [ [link removed] ]Unpacking
“Electability” and on Tuesday, Feb 8 at 8pm ET for [ [link removed] ]Understanding the
Endorsement Process.
Can you tell just how excited we are about this? We’re ready to watch your
groups throw all your political power behind these endorsed candidates and
bring real progressive change to your neighborhoods, districts, and
states!
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
