DFA Endorses Progressive Champions Across the Country as Midterms Approach

For Immediate Release: August 24, 2010

BURLINGTON, VT – Democracy for America, the people powered PAC, announced its endorsement of progressive Democrat Colleen Hanabusa for Congress today. In spite of lack of support from the DCCC in the primary, Hanabusa won with grassroots support.

“I’m honored to announce Democracy for America’s endorsement of a progressive champion who will move us forward – Colleen Hanabusa.” said Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America. “Colleen stands up for the people of Hawai’i.”

DFA will support Hanabusa with money, media, and volunteers. DFA has helped elect nearly 600 progressives up and down the ballot, including Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania and Elaine Marshall in North Carolina—both DFA-endorsed candidates who won primaries this summer. DFA also endorsed four additional Democrats running for Congress today including Joe Garcia (FL-25), Steve Pougnet (CA-45), David Segal (RI-1), and Manan Trivedi (PA-6).
