WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced the endorsement of Eric Sorensen, candidate for Illinois’ 17th Congressional District for the House of Representatives. Eric announced his candidacy for this seat following NewDem Rep. Cheri Bustos’ decision to retire from Congress.
“Throughout his career as a meteorologist, Eric Sorensen has served his community and earned the trust of Illionsans across the state,” said NewDem Action Fund Chair Brad Schneider. “Eric has what it takes to win and keep this key seat blue in November and in Congress, he will build coalitions to tackle kitchen table issues. NewDems are excited to work with Eric in Washington to strengthen our economy and deliver for the American people.”
"I am grateful to be endorsed by the NewDem Action Fund and am thrilled to work together to hold our Democratic majority by ensuring this critical seat stays blue,” said Eric Sorensen (IL-17). “The priorities in our community are clear: we need to lower costs and create more good-paying jobs. I'm excited to work with like-minded Representatives who prioritize action to deliver real, meaningful benefits for all Americans."
