NewDems are proud to endorse Herb Conaway (NJ-03), John Mannion (NY-22), Missy Cotter Smasal (VA-02), Eugene Vindman (VA-07), and Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10)
Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund is excited to announce its endorsement of five candidates fighting to win red-to-blue districts and hold onto key battleground seats: Herb Conaway (NJ-03), John Mannion (NY-22), Missy Cotter Smasal (VA-02), Eugene Vindman (VA-07), and Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10).
“Election day is in just under 100 days, and NewDems are laser-focused on doing everything we can do to bolster our red-to-blue candidates across the country, fight back against extremists who threaten Americans’ fundamental freedoms, and ensure Democrats win back the House,” said New Democrat Coalition Action Fund Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02) and Recruitment Co-Chairs Pat Ryan (NY-08) and Josh Harder (CA-09). “The five candidates we’ve endorsed today are champions of the commonsense, bipartisan message NewDems believe is the key to a Democratic victory in November. Missy, John, Eugene, Suhas, and Herb are rallying the support and building the coalitions needed to get over the finish line, and NewDems are proud to support them in this effort.”
“I am thankful to have the support of the New Democrat Coalition,” said Missy Cotter Smasal. “We must prioritize growing the middle class, fighting for access to health care, and protecting our national security. Achieving these goals and making real progress for Virginian families requires pragmatic, bipartisan solutions. I look forward to working on behalf of Coastal Virginians on these key issues in Congress and to be endorsed by the New Democrat Coalition.”
“I share the New Democrat Coalition’s commitment to pragmatic, forward thinking solutions and I am honored to have earned their support,” said New York State Senator John W. Mannion. “I look forward to working with the caucus to flip NY-22 so the American people have a Congress that will protect a woman’s right to control her own body, combat climate change, create jobs, enact comprehensive immigration reform, and keep our communities safe and affordable.”
"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the New Democrat Coalition — a group of leaders committed to building a better future for every American,” said Eugene Vindman. “The American people deserve representatives committed to solving everyday problems, growing our economy, and defending our most basic rights and freedoms; that’s what the New Dems are focused on and I am proud to have their support. I look forward to winning this critical race in November, joining them in Congress in January, and getting to work for the voters of Virginia."
"Today, I am thrilled to announce our endorsement by the NewDems, a group of over 100 pragmatic members of Congress who collaborate across the aisle to deliver for the American people,” said Suhas Subramanyam. “In the Virginia General Assembly, I was proud to be a co-founder of the bipartisan Commonwealth Caucus, where we worked together as moderate Democrats and Republicans on behalf of all Virginians. At the national level, I look forward to securing our border, building our economy, combating climate change, and many other issues where we can find common ground for all Americans."
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the NewDem Action Fund,” said Dr. Herb Conaway. “In Congress, I look forward to working with the New Democrat Coalition to protect democracy, lower the costs of health care, and continue to fight for all New Jerseyans so that our working families have the financial security they have earned.”
