Congresswoman Ayanna
Pressley to Campaign with Democrats in Michigan Ahead of Midterms
Boston, MA, October 21 – This weekend, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley
(MA-07) will travel to Michigan to campaign for Democratic candidates ahead of
November’s midterm elections.
“In
Michigan, in Massachusetts, and across the country, the future of our democracy
and our communities is on the ballot,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “Who
we elect on November 8 determines what policies we advance. And what policies
we champion determines who lives and who dies, who survives and who thrives. We
need leaders at every level – from my colleagues in the U.S. House, to
governors and statewide leaders, to state legislators – who will organize,
advocate, and advance real progress, and I’m excited to join Democrats in
Michigan committed to that work.”
At
several events on Saturday and Sunday, Congresswoman Pressley will connect with
students, small business owners, faith leaders, volunteers, and voters to talk
about what’s at stake in the upcoming midterm elections and make sure folks
have a plan to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot.
Congresswoman Pressley made history in 2018 when
she became the first woman of color elected to represent Massachusetts in the
U.S. Congress, representing constituents in Boston, Somerville, Cambridge,
Chelsea, Everett, Randolph, and Milton. During her time in office,
Congresswoman Pressley has introduced landmark legislation to combat the crisis
of childhood trauma, codify the right to abortion and comprehensive
reproductive care, abolish the federal death penalty, fix our broken clemency
system, cancel student debt, and more. She serves on the House Committee on
Financial Services and the Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, and
she has led on issues ranging from expanding transit justice and ensuring an
equitable public health response to COVID-19 to ending discriminatory credit
practices and keeping families safely housed.
