Andres Ramirez knew that running for Mayor of North Las Vegas wouldn't be easy against an incumbent. But with the same determination he showed while spending years working on voter outreach (including a trip to Iowa for Governor Howard Dean), Andres took on the challenge and wants to unite the many diverse communities in North Las Vegas. With DFA support, we can put Andres over the top in this crucial race on June 7.

Harvey Johnson is a Democrat out of conviction, not convenience. The first African-American mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, Johnson has led the city for 8 years and serves as the president of the National Conference of Black Mayors. Much of his life and talents have been spent expanding economic opportunities for underserved Mississippians. His re-election this spring will keep a strong Democrat -- with a strong record -- moving Jackson forward.

LeAnna Washington has spent over a decade in the Pennsylvania State House fighting for working families. Now she is running in a May 17 special election for a State Senate seat vacated by successful DFA-endorsed Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz. LeAnna has been endorsed by the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, and the Philadelphia School Police Union because of her proven leadership. Join the local Montco Meetup in supporting Representative Washington in the fight to make sure this seat stays Democratic.

What an impressive group of candidates!

2. Agreed.

I think a lot of the decision will be made by local groups this time, instead of HQ.

Haven't seen you around, Hedda.
