Third Round Candidate Endorsements - Group 2

21st Century endorses these exceptional candidates! We are proud to put the full weight of our 21 years of experience behind these progressive candidates and are committed to helping them pursue our common vision for a better America.

	Tom Udall - US Senate, New Mexico “I think the job of a U.S. Senator is to do what’s right for New Mexico, no matter what. That’s why as Attorney General I toughened drunk driving laws and prosecuted corrupt elected officials - it didn’t matter to me that they were in my party. It’s why I’ve worked to do right by our veterans. And I’m going to keep standing up for New Mexico... because it’s the right thing to do.”
	John Adler - US Congress, New Jersey “I know that with hard work, integrity and commitment, we can change the direction of our country and restore confidence in our government.”
	Larry Kissell - US Congress, North Carolina “If you want a miracle you have to be willing to get out of the boat. I’m willing.”
	Suzanne Kosmas - US Congress, Florida “I have a proven record of putting the interest of individuals first and effectively reaching across party lines to bring change to my state, and as a member of Congress I will bring this approach to Washington to change our country's direction and to bring civility and respect back to politics.”
	Gary Peters - US Congress, Michigan “I believe that public service is about something bigger than ourselves- it is about ensuring that those who do not have a voice are given an equitable seat at the table.”
	Hannah-Beth Jackson - State Senate, California “We owe every individual quality and accessible healthcare and the right to live a life of basic dignity, free of poverty or discrimination.”
	Michael Calderin - State House, Florida “But I’m most proud of the relationships I’ve been able to build and the people I’ve helped along the way. I don’t consider it extraordinary, but both face-to-face and online, I’ve been able to offer hope to the depressed, teach people how to work as a team, and give them the opportunity to lead.”
	Anton Gunn - State House, South Carolina “I will fight for a first class public education system, for better infrastructure and smart growth and I will work for better health care choices that stop strangling our small business by burdening them with skyrocketing health care costs.”
	Summer Starr - State House, Hawaii "I feel that now is the time to make my voice heard, because it is the voice of so many. It is the voice of my generation. It is the voice of our future, and it is the voice that respects and loves the past of my district on Maui, which we must protect from being lost forever."
