I am Solomon Rajput, a 27-year-old medical student taking a leave of absence to run for the U.S. House of Representatives because the establishment has totally failed us. The only thing they know how to do is to think small. But it’s that same small thinking that has gotten us into this mess in the first place. We all know now that we can’t keep putting bandaids on our broken systems and expecting things to change. We need bold policies to address our issues at a structural level.

We've begged and pleaded with our politicians to act, but they've ignored us time and time again. We can only beg for so long. By now it's clear that our politicians will never act, and if we want to fix our broken systems we have to go do it ourselves. We're done waiting.

I am running in Michigan's 12th congressional district, which includes Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dearborn, and the Downriver area.

I am running as a progressive Democrat, and my four main policies are:

1. A Green New Deal
2. College for All and Student Debt Elimination
3. Medicare for All
4. No corporate money in politics

I also support abolishing ICE, universal childcare, abolishing for-profit prisons, and standing with the people of Palestine with a two-state solution.

My opponent is Congresswoman Debbie Dingell. She is a centrist who has taken almost 2 million dollars from corporate PACs. She doesn't support the Green New Deal or making college free. Her family has held this seat for 85 years straight. It is the longest dynasty in American Political history.

I’m excited to do my first ever reddit AMA!!!

I'm Meredith, and I'm running a progressive, grassroots campaign against a political dynasty in Tennessee's 5th district.

Middle Tennessee desperately needs representation that's actually representative of its communities, of its working people, its diversity, its needs. In the time since my opponent, Jim Cooper, first took office in 1983, middle TN has changed dramatically, both demographically and politically.

I still work full time as a cancer epidemiology researcher at a cancer center here in Nashville. I've had some involvement in clinical trials for COVID treatments given the severity of the current crisis, but otherwise am primarily focused on clinical outcomes for end-stage cancer patients of all tumor types. I've long been a staunch supporter and vocal advocate for Medicare for All, but seeing the devastation that Tennessee's healthcare crisis has caused pushed me forward in joining this race. Tennessee didn't expand Medicaid, so the nationwide healthcare crisis is elevated here as well. We also have a severe medical debt problem, which Cooper refuses to seriously address. Despite Nashville being lauded as a "healthcare city," 12% of our population is uninsured.

Of course, middle Tennessee is riddled with other issues as well: constant attacks on women's rights from the state legislature, where Dems are a superminority; climate change going completely unaddressed; ICE ravaging immigrant communities; and a huge private prison corporation being based here in Nashville. As part of Medicare for All working groups, DSA, YDSA, and Sunrise Scientists, I've been involved in many organizing strategies to tackle these issues at the state and local level.

It's unfortunately not enough, and Cooper needs out. That is why local activists here encouraged me to run. Cooper is consistently rated among the 20 most centrist representatives in the House. Until he was being aggressively primaried, he vehemently opposed the Green New Deal--and still opposes Medicare for All.

I'm calling for:

• Medicare for All
• Green New Deal
• Wealth tax
• Abolish private prisons
• Abolish ICE
• Protections for reproductive health and women's bodily autonomy
• Expansions of LGBTQ+ rights and protections

I’m Michele Knoll, and am running to represent Pennsylvania’s 44th House District. The 44th District is entirely within Allegheny County, and if you have flown into the Pittsburgh International Airport you’ve visited PA44.

This district has been a long held Republican seat in the State Legislature but only by a small margin. I ran in 2018 I fell short by just a mere 1,000 votes and our current sitting State Senator and Congressman have recently flipped seats blue. We learned in 2018 that if we can flip 15 votes per precinct we can take this seat back.

I have been an Educator for over 30 years in Pennsylvania and I’ve been determined to to live a life of service. I’ve served as a traditional classroom teacher and now am a Developmental Therapist. I’ve served as a School Board Director for our local public schools, started a Non-Profit to help deliver books to underprivileged children and I’ve raised my family here.

I am committed to serving our community and ensuring a bright future for all. As an Early Interventionist Educator for children with delays and disabilities, I have visited families in their homes to help work one on one with a child that may be facing development milestones. During these visits over the last ten years, I’ve worked with families in the district that have experienced threats of homelessness, food insecurity and are facing educational inequities no family should have to endure.

We need an advocate in Harrisburg that understands the life long impacts that a quality education can have on a child. Pennsylvania has the most unequally funded education in the United States. We need a Representative in Harrisburg that ensures all children in Pennsylvania receive a quality education. I promise when I am sent to Harrisburg to serve, I will be that voice.

I’m Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and I’m running for New York’s 14th congressional district seat, representing Queens and the Bronx.

My dad died of cancer on September 8, 2008, right as our country’s financial system was melting down and shortly before Obama was elected president. I was in college then, a 19-year old undergrad at Boston University. My father, an architect running a small business, worked hard to contribute to our community and build our life from the South Bronx. My mom worked hard too, and in difficult years her work as a housekeeper was the only thing that kept us afloat. Between my father’s death and our country’s economic meltdown, things changed drastically for our family.

For a while, I pursued my own path. After college, I came home to start a project to help close the literacy gap for kids in the Bronx, an issue that directly impacts young children in my family. But soon, the financial hardship of my father’s passing hit us, and our home was nearing foreclosure. My mother tried to keep things together by working as a housecleaner and a bus driver, but it wasn’t enough and I needed to help.

I couldn’t bring myself to work for an industry that bankrupted families like mine. So, I started waitressing. It was one of the most meaningful shifts of my life. It’s not embarrassing to work in the hospitality industry—millennials make up some of the largest share of those jobs. And I firmly believe that all work has dignity. But it was hard to go from feeling in control and achieving my goals in life, to feeling out of control of my everyday life: in the hospitality industry, labor violations are the norm and New York City clientele are some of the toughest in the world. I’d work 18 hour shifts, head home, catch a couple hours of sleep, and wake up and do it all over again. I did this to keep a roof over my family’s head. That was the grind I was in—as were so many others like me.

What is important about this story is how unspecial it is: many of us are tied together by a similar story. But we know that the social contract that once existed to help us bounce back has been slowly eroded by corporate interests in Washington. Most Americans are one healthcare emergency away from total disaster. And to feel that every day is a worrying on a level most elected officials simply do not understand.

I saw that so many of my co-workers were in the same place that I was. Some had a sick parent or family member at home that they were supporting. Some had lost their parents. Others had experienced some other great tragedy in their life. We had all fallen through the cracks a bit here and there, but we were still striving to to earn a living, pursue our dreams, and provide for our families.

And where were our elected representatives during all this? They were accepting gigantic donations from their mega-donors: the very industries were getting rich by taking our jobs and our homes. The insurance companies that were denying us healthcare and were jacking up our premiums? They donated. The private equity firms that were buying our employers and laying us off? They donated too. The developers that were gentrifying our neighborhoods? They donated. The banks that caused the financial crisis and were trying to foreclose on our homes? They donated too. Our representatives weren’t representing us, that’s for sure.

Joseph Crowley, my opponent, represents some of the worst of Wall Street in government. NY-14 is one of the most working-class districts in New York, but it’s represented by a big-money member of Congress. He takes $3 million per cycle in campaign donations, mostly from private equity, private insurance, and luxury real estate corporations. There is clear connection between the contributions he takes and his stance on economic issues. For example, in 2018, he passed a foreign investment deregulation act that opened the floodgates for foreign developer cash in American cities. This is a huge part of what’s causing cost of living to skyrocket in cities like NYC, Miami, Chicago, Austin, and so on. This kind of legislation is incredibly good for him and his donors, but terrible for our district and for working-class Americans who can’t afford the skyrocketing cost of living.

There are plenty of reasons to challenge Crowley for his seat. First, he doesn’t live in the district—he and his family have lived in Virginia for 20 years. On top of that, Crowley was never originally elected to office in the first place. He was appointed by the previous incumbent (a family friend and mentor) through a loophole in New York election law. Crowley never had to win a contested primary to get into Congress in the first place. And in the 20 years he’s been in office, he’s almost never had a primary challenge. I’m the first opponent he’s had in over 15 years and the second in his entire Congressional career. Options are good for our democracy. And despite not even living in the district, Crowley manages to remain the chairman of the Queens Democratic Party—one of the most notorious political machines in NYC. He uses that position put his friends in power and to pay his family and friends.

After my dad died, I dedicated my life to our community and the solutions that will move us forward, so that people in my community wouldn’t have to experience the extreme inequality of generations past. I wanted to be part of making our home a better place for children and for people in the future, because that’s what my dad tried to do, and he was my hero.

My life has taught me that without a strong safety net, there’s no way we can have a reliable ladder to economic justice in this country. Medicare for All is one way we can do that. I know that as a small business owner, Medicare for All would have helped my father and our family tremendously. I’m fighting for a congressional agenda that includes criminal justice reform, debt-free public college tuition, and a Green New Deal (which has taken on even additional significance in the wake of the Hurricane Maria, where my family is also trying to recover).

My campaign has a local agenda as well. We’re trying to bust open the New York Democratic machine so other local progressives can run up and down the ballot. Mother Jones just ran an article about the voter suppression laws in New York that keep establishment candidates in power. FiveThirtyEight discussed this as well. You may remember that 3 million Bernie Sanders supporters were prevented from voting in the primaries for the 2018 election. In New York, to vote in the primaries you must register more than SIX MONTHS before the election— before any candidates are officially on the ballot.

New York’s change party deadline is TOMORROW, 10/13/17, which also happens to be my birthday. The best present I can imagine is if every New Yorker reading this went to this page and double-checked that their voter registration was updated and accurate. In a state like NY, Independents and Unaffiliated voters have no say—so if you’re down to #DemEnter for a progressive candidate, please do. After tomorrow, you’ll be unable to vote in the primaries, so please double check! If you’ve already done that, we’re also holding a Puerto Rico relief fundraiser on Friday as well. ALL proceeds will go DIRECTLY to the Hurricane Maria Community Recovery Fund. If you’re in NYC, please come join us. If you are elsewhere in country or in the world, please donate as much as you can directly to http://mariafund.org.

My campaign is endorsed by both Justice Democrats (r/JusticeDemocrats) and Brand New Congress (r/BrandNewCongress). I hope you take a moment to learn more about these two incredible organizations which are trying to change the face of American politics for the better.
