I started Truth to Power PAC to help elect more progressives to Congress. Today, I’m excited to be announcing our very first endorsed candidates of the 2022 election cycle.
These candidates are leaders who I really believe in. They are running strong, grassroots-powered races in must-win seats, and if elected, they’ll join me in the fight to lower costs for families, protect the environment, and hold the powerful accountable. Let me tell you a little about them, and if you can, consider donating. Your contribution will support their campaigns and Truth to Power's mission of electing candidates like these.
Jessica Cisneros: TX-28 About Jessica: Jessica is a human rights attorney who has dedicated her career to advocating for working families, helping them navigate our broken immigration system. The race: Election Day for Jessica is one month away! She’s running a grassroots campaign free of corporate PAC money so that she is only accountable to the community she aims to serve. Why she’s running: Jessica knows that South Texans deserve a representative who will act in their best interest—not in the interest of the lobbyists and huge corporations who fund her opponent. |
Yadira Caraveo: CO-08 About Yadira: Dr. Yadira Caraveo is a pediatrician and accomplished state legislator. The race: Colorado’s 8th is a newly created district, thanks to Colorado’s population growth. This is a great opportunity for Democrats to win another seat in the House. Why she’s running: As a pediatrician, she quickly understood that truly helping children required a lot more than what she was able to do as a doctor. That’s what inspired her to serve in Colorado’s state legislature, where she’s already passed legislation to fund preschool and lower the cost of prescription drugs. She knows how healthcare works and how to get things done, and she’s ready to bring that knowledge to Washington. |
Quaye Quartey: CA-27 About Quaye: After retiring from two decades of active-duty military service at the rank of Commander, Quaye returned home to California and attended Stanford’s Graduate School of Business before starting his own small business. Quaye is the son of an immigrant and proud father. The race: Quaye is challenging Republican Mike Garcia in CA-27, a district that includes Santa Clarita and Palmdale. This district is one of Democrats best chances to pick up a seat, but it won’t be an easy race—right now it’s considered a Republican toss-up. Why he’s running: On January 6th, Quaye watched insurrectionists try to stand in the way of democracy. It was then he felt called to serve his country and community. |
In order to create real change, we need to elect more progressive leaders like Dr. Yadira Caraveo, Quaye Quartey, and Jessica Cisneros. Join me in supporting their campaigns with a contribution that will be split amongst them and Truth to Power PAC.
Katie Porter started Truth to Power PAC to elect candidates who will stand up to the corporate special interests, lobbyists, and corrupt politicians who have dominated our government for far too long. Truth to Power only endorses candidates who Katie believes in, and who share her progressive values. |
