This Candidate Will Fight BigOil So Your Kids Won't Have To

When progressive champion David Cicilline resigned from Congress a few weeks ago, it triggered a special election in eastern Rhode Island to fill his seat. The district is safely blue— with a D+32 partisan lean. Biden won the district against Trump 63.8% to 34.7%. The September 5 primary is all but certain to determine who the next member of Congress will be. Something like 15 Democrats have jumped in, mostly corporate hacks like Nick Autiello, Sabina Matos, John Conclaves, Marvin Abney, Sandra Cano, Gabe Amo, Donald Carlson and Stephen Casey… with another corporate hack, the conservative Speaker of the state House, Joe Shekarchi, likely to get in this week.

Blue America has endorsed the progressive in the race, former state Rep. Aaron Regunberg and we’d like to ask you to consider contributing to his campaign here. (He has also been endorsed by the Working Families Party, Our Revolution, all the environmental and climate groups active in Rhode Island and the only union to jump into the fray, CWA.)
