Frederick --
If you watched media coverage of the community uprising in Ferguson against police injustice in 2014, you probably saw Maria Chappelle-Nadal speak out strongly on behalf of her community.
As a Missouri State Senator representing Ferguson and surrounding communities, Maria Chappelle-Nadal stood up to police violence, and has continued to work to undo the institutional racism that for years has targeted her constituents. Time and time again, Maria has shown how police brutality is connected to lack of jobs and economic opportunity -- and how we must fight both.
To change our country, Maria strongly believes in changing that Democratic Party from the inside out. It's why she endorsed Bernie Sanders for president and it's another big reason why Democracy for America is endorsing her today.
Now Maria Chappelle-Nadal wants to bring her passion for justice to Congress. She’s running in the 1st congressional district in Missouri to fight for economic and racial justice across the country -- alongside progressive fighters like Keith Ellison, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren.
Do you want to build a political revolution across America? Help send Maria Chappelle-Nadal to Congress: Chip in $3 or more to this courageous progressive champion today.
Democracy for America members have been longtime supporters of Maria Chappelle-Nadal. Maria was one of the very first "Dean Dozen" candidates endorsed by DFA back in 2004 -- and won her election that year thanks to your support. Ever since, she has been a people-powered grassroots champion for change.
First as a State Representative and now as a State Senator, Maria Chappelle-Nadal has advocated for all of her constituents, including marginalized communities. Now, she is running to represent her community in Congress to ensure the residents of St. Louis have access to a clean and safe environment, quality education, and the basic resources needed to lead full and successful lives.
Maria Chappelle-Nadal joins our other DFA-endorsed House candidates who have strong backgrounds of serving their community. Nanette Barragán, Pramila Jayapal, Bao Nguyen, Susannah Randolph, and Zephyr Teachout have all worked tirelessly to empower and fight on behalf of local communities against injustice and greed -- and will bring that fight to Congress.
You can help elect another bold leader that will join Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in building progressive power in Congress: Chip in $3 or more now to support Maria Chappelle-Nadal.
Thank you for stepping up to support Maria Chappelle-Nadal today.
