Meet Tim Kaine

As Mayor of Richmond, Tim played a crucial role in the city’s revival by improving public safety, building schools, and creating good-paying jobs. His leadership led to his election as Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor and later Governor, where he managed the state through a national recession while expanding early childhood education and preserving the Chesapeake Bay. His effective fiscal stewardship earned Virginia recognition as the Best Managed State and Best State for Business during his tenure.

Thanks to the support of his community, including his teachers and counselors at the YMCA, Colin was able to chase his dreams, eventually earning a football scholarship to Baylor University, where he balanced his academic achievements with his leadership on the field.

He’s been endorsed by a diverse range of groups, including both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO, reflecting his ability to unite people for the common good.

Run for Senate

Colin Allred is now running for Senate, driven by a desire to bring honest, pragmatic leadership to Texas. He knows that Texans deserve better than the divisive politics of Ted Cruz, and his vision for the state includes investment in infrastructure, high-tech job creation, and ensuring that veterans receive the care they deserve. With a deep commitment to his family and community, Colin aims to represent Texans who are tired of politics as usual and ready for real leadership that puts their needs first.

Meet Elissa Slotkin

Elissa Slotkin is running to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate, driven by her commitment to protect democracy, support Michigan’s middle class, and ensure safety for future generations. Growing up in Holly, Michigan, Elissa was shaped by the values of hard work and decency instilled by her family. Her great-grandfather’s success in founding Hygrade Foods, known for the Ballpark Frank, taught her the importance of integrity and perseverance. These values guided Elissa’s path toward a career dedicated to national security and public service.

Bid for Congress

Elissa’s life changed on September 11, 2001, when she decided to focus her career on protecting the homeland. She was recruited by the CIA and served three tours in Iraq alongside the U.S. military, later taking on national security roles under both President Bush and President Obama. Elissa’s experience working on issues such as the fight against ISIS and U.S. responses to Russian aggression has solidified her reputation as a strong national security leader. However, it was the personal tragedy of losing her mother to ovarian cancer that motivated her to run for office. Her mother’s struggle with healthcare costs, due to pre-existing conditions, pushed Elissa to prioritize affordable healthcare and protections for those in similar situations.

Fighting for Michigan Families

In Congress, Elissa has focused on lowering prescription drug costs, creating jobs, and bringing critical supply chains back to the U.S. She has consistently worked to address the concerns of Michigan’s working families. Now, as she runs for Senate, Elissa is prepared to fight for all Michiganders, ensuring access to affordable healthcare, protecting democracy, and creating an economy that works for everyone.
