MoveOn is Proud to Endorse John Avlon for Congress!
Meet John Avlon
John Avlon is a native New Yorker and the grandson of immigrants. Inspired by their journey, he has a deep love for the country and a belief that the blessings of America should never be taken for granted. For over a decade, Avlon has been warning about the threats to democracy through his books, columns, and television appearances. This election is a critical moment for the country, and that’s why John is running for Congress in New York’s 1st District — to defeat the extreme MAGA agenda, defend democracy, and win back the House.
Standing for Democracy
As a familiar face on CNN, Real Time with Bill Maher, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, John Avlon has consistently spoken out against the extremism dividing America. He has called for focusing on common facts and finding common ground to solve the country’s most pressing problems. As an author and presidential historian, Avlon has documented periods of American history where democracy was at risk, and believes that unifying leadership, coupled with citizens taking responsibility for their country, is crucial. His work emphasizes that in difficult times, it’s essential to confront division with hope and facts.
Fighting for Long Island
John Avlon has long cherished the East End of Long Island, from its historic villages to its world-renowned beaches. He and his wife, who first lived in their home after they married, know how special this community is. Today, however, the values that define Suffolk County are under attack by radical agendas. Avlon knows that bipartisanship is key, and he’s ready to tackle the issues threatening democracy, women’s rights, and the environment. He advocates for federal investment in climate change solutions, better transportation, and policies that lower the cost of living for working families. Above all, Avlon is committed to standing up for democracy and ensuring that truth prevails over lies.
John Avlon is running for Congress to defend the principles that have made America strong and to stand up for what is right.
