Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America in support of Marie Newman’s (D. IL-03) campaign:
You remember that DFA-endorsed progressive candidateMarie Newmanis challenging a Democratic establishment incumbent who’s notoriously anti-choice in Illinois’ third congressional district?
Well, that fake Democrat just made it all the more clear he’s a threat to reproductive rights, and Marie just received a major new endorsement in this race.
So-called Democrat Rep. Dan Lipinski kicked off the new year by joining over 200 Republicans in co-signing a letter urging the Supreme Court to revisit and overruleRoe v. Wade, the landmark decision that maintains a person’s right to an abortion.
Newly elected progressiveChicago Mayor Lori Lightfoothad this to say in response, throwing her support behind Marie for Congress:
It’s beyond clear: Lipinski and his anti-choice actions do not belong in the Democratic Party or Congress, and we have a chance to replace him with a REAL progressive like Marie who will fight for the rights of every person in IL-03.
