NewDems are Proud to Endorse Rudy Salas (CA-22), Derek Tran (CA-45), and Mondaire Jones (NY-17)
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund is excited to announce its endorsement of Rudy Salas (CA-22), Derek Tran (CA-45), and Mondaire Jones (NY-17) for the U.S. House. Each of these candidates is running to flip key battleground seats in California and New York and to deliver Democrats the majority in 2024.
“The NewDem Action Fund is thrilled to announce our endorsement of Rudy Salas, Derek Tran, and Mondaire Jones for Congress,” said NewDem Chair Annie Kuster. “These three NewDem candidates have the resources, skills, and determination to flip these critical seats in California and New York. Rudy, Derek, and Mondaire share NewDems’ pragmatic approach to politics and know that in order to win back the House majority in 2024, we have to run strong races and communicate effectively with voters across the country. There’s no doubt they’ll be the candidates to beat in November.”
"I am honored to be endorsed by the NewDems Action Fund," said Rudy Salas (CA-22). "During my time in the California Legislature I was a proud California NewDem Member, I have always been a pragmatic voice for the Valley, fighting for more public safety funding, expanding workforce development programs, expanding veterans’ and workers’ rights, clean water infrastructure, and support for our small business community. In Congress, I'll partner with fellow NewDems to continue to deliver for Valley families."
“I am thrilled to have the endorsement of the New Democrat Action Fund,” said Derek Tran (CA-45). “After just over two months in this race, it is humbling to have the endorsement of an organization that represents so many of my future colleagues. I look forward to bringing my perspective as a veteran, small business owner, and a worker’s rights attorney to Congress. We must defeat corrupt career politician Michelle Steel.”
“As some individuals and organizations on the far-left have joined the far-right in completely losing their damn minds these past few months, I’ve never been more proud of my record of pragmatism and delivering real results for the Lower Hudson Valley,” said Mondaire Jones (NY-17). “I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the NewDem Action Fund and look forward to joining the New Democrat Coalition in Congress as I work towards lowering the cost of prescription drugs, passing commonsense gun safety legislation, and creating good-paying jobs in our communities.”
