This speech by our founder @JulianCastro speaks to the heart of our mission here at Opportunity First -- America will prevail -- we will prevail with young, progressive Democrats leading us into the future. [[https://t.co/HW7MjTs3p3]]
Today we’re thankful for brave candidates who give everything they have to serve, selfless volunteers, generous donors, activists who challenge us and, of course, voters. The Blue Wave wouldn’t have happened without all of you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you @GinaOrtizJones for running a passionate campaign based on equality, progress and people-power. You’ve helped set the stage for a more progressive future. We’ve been honored to support you.
Our campaign was based on the belief that everyone is equal - equally deserving to be heard at the ballot box and served in our communities. While we came up short this time, we ran a race of which we can be proud.
Thank you, #TX23.
Incredibly honored to be joining these great Texans, including the two first Latinas in our state’s history, in the 116th Congress. We are ready to get to work for you. #TX32
Very proud of the campaign @AndrewGillum ran. He ran with class, integrity and a positive vision for the future that inspired millions of people in Florida and beyond. Great things ahead.
A fierce activist. A civil rights champion. A defender of democracy. And a leader who puts people over politics. Thank you @staceyabrams. We have been more than proud to support you and we’re with you towards whatever is next.
Josh Harder built a grassroots campaign from the ground up and WON! Congratulations @joshua_harder, we're excited to see how you fight for the people of #CA10 in Congress.
