Bold, Honest Leadership I am a proud Democrat, running to represent you the people of Oregon's Congressional District 2. Although it might not seem like it, on almost every issue, the majority of the American people agree. I am running to turn those agreements into law. I will not shy away from what I believe in, and luckily that just happens to line up with the majority of American's beliefs at this time in history. I will not shy away from fighting hard and saying what has to be said. Political calculus will not rule my decisions. We are at a crossroads in our young democracy, and we need leaders who are bold to inspire more of the American people to be involved in their future and vote. We will not do that with political cowardice and half measures that helped to get us into this mess.

Justice Democrats is working to elect a mission-driven caucus in Congress that will fight for solutions that match the scale of our many crises: skyrocketing inequality, catastrophic climate change, deepening structural racism as the country becomes more diverse, and the corporate takeover of our democracy. In the era of Donald Trump and his billionaire cabinet, we will fight for an America that belongs to all its people. We are unafraid of taking on out-of-touch incumbents in primary challenges because we don’t need to just elect more Democrats, we need to elect better Democrats. It’s time to usher in a new generation of diverse working-class Democrats who have a bold vision to transform our economy and democracy. We need a Democratic Party that fights for its voters, not just its corporate donors. That’s why we helped elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Congress. We need leadership in the Democratic Party that will represent and fight for our communities. We recru...

Mayor Alex Morse of Holyoke, Massachusettes for U.S. Congress - District 01 Alex’s story in the 1st congressional district starts in a Holyoke housing project where his parents met and fell in love. Both his mother and father grew up in poverty. Alex’s parents started a family as teenagers and neither had a chance to attend college.
