Kyrsten Sinema’s escalating betrayal of whatever progressive values she claimed to hold when she was first elected to Congress achieved full bloom last last year when she decided to literally leave the Democratic Party. There is simply no future in which she can ever be trusted to play her part in bringing about the change this country so desperately needs.
Fortunately, we have an infinitely better choice in next year’s Senate race in Arizona, which is why Daily Kos is extremely proud to endorse Rep. Ruben Gallego for the job.
Daily Kos knows Gallego very well. We backed him in his first campaign for the House nine years ago and have followed his career closely ever since. We know we can always rely on him when it counts. The list of things to like about him is long, so here are just a few:
- He’s worked tirelessly to improve access to affordable health care and lower the cost of prescription drugs.
- He’s cosponsored legislation to codify Roe v. Wade into law.
- He’s introduced a bill to specifically outlaw voter suppression targeting voters of color.
- He’s a vigorous advocate for combating climate change, which, as an Army veteran who served in Iraq, he knows is a threat to our national security.
- And, as a first-generation American, he’s fought for the rights of immigrants, cosponsoring a measure to ensure that Dreamers can access higher education.
