3 women with national security experience

Friend,

One of the most critical deadlines of the election cycle, the FEC quarterly deadline for reporting campaign funds raised in the second quarter of 2018, is just 10 days away. Right now is the perfect opportunity to support our endorsed candidates and show them we will back them now and through November.

The three House candidates below are have extensive national security experience that have shaped their progressive national security values. Their expertise will immediately make a mark in the House. All three seats are currently held by hawks and considered to be very competitive.

The political world is watching to see how much political strength these women demonstrate for the November election. Will you support our candidates before the deadline and help them win these crucial races?

  Lauren Baer (D-FL-18) served as a senior policy advisor to former U.S. Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. She was also a senior policy advisor to Samantha Power, who was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Obama administration. 
  Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) is an engineer by training, graduating from Stanford and later MIT. She is also a former Air Force Captain who spent three years on active-duty and another 13 years on inactive reserve duty.
  Nancy Soderberg (D-FL-06) has 30 years of experience in foreign policy. She served on the National Security Council at the White House, as Foreign Policy Director for the Clinton/Gore 1992 campaign, and worked as the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

Will you help us send these experienced professionals to the House where they can make an immediate difference? Donating to one or all of these candidates before the deadline will help propel them to victory in November.

Thank you for your support of these great candidates.

Sincerely,

James McKeon
Political Director
