Third Round Candidate Endorsements - Group 1
 |
Jeff Merkley - US Senate, Oregon “I envision a nation where every child is able to get a strong public education and afford college; where every American has health care; where every worker has the unequivocal right to organize and join a union; where every American can live without facing discrimination; where women have 100% access to reproductive health care; and where our elected officials are free from the influence of big money political campaigns.” |
 |
Judy Baker - US Congress, Missouri “We (Democrats) must not have a wishbone where our backbone ought to be!" |
 |
André Carson - US Congress, Indiana “I see a society where we are economically secure, have an education system that truly prepares our children, are treating our seniors with the respect they deserve, and have ended the war in Iraq. But most importantly, I would like to live in a community, and a country, where we are all respected and all given a voice so that we can shape our own futures." |
 |
Ben Luján - US Congress, New Mexico “The New Mexico I see in the future is a cleaner, healthier place, with water running through our acequias, our precious natural resources intact, and resources, health care, jobs and infrastructure more readily available to our least-served residents. The America I see does not rely on foreign energy to run our cars and our lives or start our wars.” |
 |
Dennis Shulman - US Congress, New Jersey “I believe that Congress could use more candor and more people with diverse life experiences. We keep sending career politicians to Washington and what do we have to show for it? A big mess. It may very well take a blind man to show Congress the light.” |
 |
Chris Gregoire - Governor, Washington “Like many growing up in the 1960’s, I was inspired to enter public service by John F. Kennedy. I heard his call to serve something greater than myself and knew that I could go into the world and make a difference. As Democrats of the 21st, or any, century, we are obligated to get results that help our most vulnerable citizens prosper.” |
 |
Andy Meisner - Oakland County Treasurer, Michigan “I envision a Michigan that is economically diversified and competitive in the global marketplace thanks to a citizenry standing up and having the foresight to make smart investments in human capital. No family loses its home, and no community is neglected.” |
 |
Wendy Davis - State Senate, Texas “I envision and will work for an America where we provide opportunity for educating and advancing (up and out of poverty) the least among us. My education provided that opportunity for me.” |
 |
Rick Taylor - State House, Pennsylvania “When the time comes for me to step away from public service my hope is that people will say I worked to improve the lives and security of working and middle class families.” |
