WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund is excited to announce its endorsement of five candidates running in critical races across the country: Shomari Figures (AL-02), Jessica Morse (CA-03), Sam Liccardo (CA-16), Kelly Morrison (MN-03), and Julie Johnson (TX-32).
“NewDems are dedicated to electing candidates who have deep knowledge of their districts, understand their constituents’ concerns, and most importantly, who can help Democrats take back the House,” said New Democrat Coalition Action Fund Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02). “Shomari Figures, Jessica Morse, Sam Liccardo, Julie Johnson, and Kelly Morrison possess these important qualities and will be essential to our mission of restoring common sense to the House of Representatives. As the NewDem political operation continues to grow stronger than ever before, we look forward to ensuring each of these candidates have the resources needed to win their races in November.”
“I’m honored to have the support of the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund,”said Julie Johnson (TX-32). “As a pragmatic policymaker, my goal is to deliver real results that make a tangible impact in our communities. That’s why I’m a proud member of the ‘Can Do Caucus’ — to create more opportunities that allow all American families to succeed.”
“I’m proud to receive the endorsement of the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund,”said Shomari Figures (AL-02). “Since its creation, NewsDems has aimed to find workable solutions to the most pressing issues facing our nation. Members, including Congresswoman Terri Sewell, have spent their careers advocating for communities, and I look forward to serving alongside them. The support of NewDems is one more collective step towards building a stronger economy for the people of Alabama and every American.”
"I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund,” said Jessica Morse (CA-03). “Their commitment to overcoming partisan gridlock to find policy solutions mirrors my approach to public service. I'm ready to work with anyone willing to set aside partisan differences to tackle our community's pressing issues. My experience in wildfire mitigation and national security has shown me that a collaborative approach is essential — because the crises we face don't care what political party you belong to. I look forward to working with NewDems to champion reproductive freedoms, tackle the rising cost of living, and cut through bureaucratic red tape to deliver real results for the people of California’s 3rd Congressional District."
“I’m honored to be endorsed by the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund,” said Sam Liccardo (CA-16). “Among the most effective and collaborative groups in Congress, NewDems have consistently risen above labels and found pragmatic ways to get things done. Whether it’s lowering the cost of living, climate change, affordable housing or many other important issues, I look forward to working with and learning from them in Congress.”
“I believe that our elected officials have a duty to deliver results for the American people that will make a real difference in their lives,” said Kelly Morrison (MN-03). “The New Dem mission to bridge the partisan divide and find real solutions to our nation’s greatest challenges is something that we need more of in Congress, and I'm honored to be a part of this effort.”
