California Governor Gavin Newsom’s opponent Larry Elders concession statement included a statement that the Right may have lost this battle, but they are determined to win the war. We, in Americans for Democratic Action, are absolutely resolute in our determination to meet that challenge head on. That is why we are sharing these weekly Spotlights with you and why we have been ramping up our efforts to support and expand all-too-slim liberal majorities in the House and Senate. We sincerely hope you will take Elders’ and his ilk’s challenge seriously and help us in this battle.Georgia is your picture-perfect example of the battle ground state. In 2020, it gave us wonderful surprises – Biden, Warnock, Ossoff – and absolute horror – Marjorie Taylor Greene. Rife with election controversy, misinformation and outright lies, it is certain to become the focus of Right Wing and ultraconservative attention. Thus, we turn our attention today to Georgia’s 7th Congressional District incumbent Carolyn Bourdeaux. Bourdeaux, serving her first term in the House, the only Democratic House candidate in the country to flip a seat previously held by a Republican in the 2020 election and the only Democrat to represent this district since its creation in 1993, is an obvious top GOP target. Her margin of victory in 2020 was only 51.4 percent.Although she characterizes herself as a Blue Dog, she is a former aide to Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and has voted in support of President Biden’s agenda 100 percent of the time. She serves on the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure and Small Business. Pro-choice, she wants to expand health care coverage to more than 4 million Americans. She supported the extension of the Paycheck Protection Program and views teachers and support staff as essential workers who need COVID vaccinations to ensure both their own health and safety and the health and safety of their students. She’s just at the beginning of her tenure but we anticipate much more from her as she fights the conservative naysayers in Congress.Follow the ADA Spotlight on the 2022 Midterm Elections page to stay updated on ADA's electoral activity. act.myngp.com/Forms/-2183963244786352128 ...

If the horrors which took place in Texas last week did nothing else, they underscored the maxim that elections matter. We recognize fully that what took place was the result of state legislative and unspeakable gubernatorial actions, but we also recognize that, if we are not determined in our opposition and with little margin for error, the same thing could happen at the national level.Texas is, in many ways, a different state than in the past. With a growing Hispanic population and increasing Democratic votes, we came closer to victory there in 2020 than at any time in the recent past. That gives us hope but also underscores the need to organize forcefully if we are to build on that momentum.Thus, for this week’s Spotlight, we turn our attention to Colin Allred from Texas’ 32nd Congressional District. The district covers the northeastern corner of Dallas and many of its northeastern suburbs. In 2018, Allred surprised most pundits by defeating11 term GOP incumbent Pete Sessions with 52.3 percent of the vote. In 2020, his margin of victory, in a crowded field, was 52 percent. The district was carried by Hilary Clinton during the Presidential campaign but is still considered marginal and is a top Republican target.Allred, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, played for the Tennessee Titans before getting his law degree from UC Berkeley and serving in the Obama Administration. In Congress, he has earned an 85 percent ADA voting record. He serves on the House Committees on Foreign Affairs, Transportation and Infrastructure and Veterans Affairs. Allred is the first known Member of Congress to take paid paternity leave and now advocates for it as national policy. He is working to raise wages, invest in job training programs and to ensure equal pay for equal work. He believes Citizens United should be overturned and campaign finance reform should be enacted to make our elections fairer. He is working to restore the Voting Rights Act and would like to see election day become a Federal holiday as one way to expand opportunities to vote. He supports a comprehensive approach to police reform by addressing, among other things, systemic racism and bias. We hope you will agree he deserves our support and represents a new vision for Texas which we would all happily embrace.Follow the ADA Spotlight on the 2022 Midterm Elections page to stay updated on ADA's electoral activity. act.myngp.com/Forms/-4129518283810406400 ...

ADA Mourns the Passing of Joe Duffey, former ADA National Chairperson

Joe was a champion of liberal causes and a loyal ADA member throughout. Take a look at the articles in the NY Times and Washington Post on his passing. RIP Joe.

Expel Rep. Boebert (R-CO)

In light of reports that Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on January 6 directed domestic terrorists to the location of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and on January 12 forced her way past security and onto the floor of the House of Representatives while carrying a gun, Americans for Democratic Action calls upon the House Ethics Committee to immediately convene an inquiry into her actions with the possibility of expelling her from the House of Representatives.
