Support Chuy Garcia via Democracy For America [View all]
I want to share a part of a letter that Howard Dean sent me personally*.
Rhett --
When I ran for president in 2004, I told supporters in my stump speech that I represented the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" -- a line inspired by Paul Wellstone that captured the spirit of my grassroots campaign.
Jesús "Chuy" García is running a similar people-powered campaign in Chicago and that's why I am proud to announce that I am endorsing him as the progressive choice to be Chicago's next mayor.
Chuy García brings years of experience standing up for the people of Chicago. He worked with Harold Washington, Chicago’s reform mayor, to clean up Chicago in the 1980s. He also served alongside a then-unknown Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama, in the 1990s. In that time Chuy García fought for better schools and neighborhood services while developing the leadership skills required to lead Chicago in the 21st century.
As mayor, Chuy García will focus on the needs of Chicago's working and middle class. He'll work to improve public schools and take a community-oriented approach to ending the violence in Chicago's neighborhoods. Chuy García will put the people first, not the 1%.

We need to support progressive Democratic candidates via organizations like Democracy For America. Support Chuy Garcia, support DFA.
