ICYMI: Moms, caregivers, advocates, and voters nationwide are coming together to flip the U.S. House this November and deliver critical care infrastructure like health care and child care to families—and you’re invited to be a part of the strategy!
CareWins, a project of MomsRising PAC, has hosted town halls with U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene about how we can elect a Care Majority in Congress *this November.* A top takeaway? Flipping Arizona’s 6th District with JoAnna Mendoza and Colorado’s 8th District with Manny Rutinel are essential to making it happen.
The candidates are inspiring!
JoAnna Mendoda (AZ-06): As a 20-year military veteran and proud single mother by choice, Jo knows firsthand the challenges working families face every day. She’s spent her life showing up for her country and her neighbors—and now, she’s taking that same determination to D.C. to lower costs for families, expand access to health care, and protect Arizonans from attacks on affordability, democracy and care. Jo is the real deal: her seat is an essential pick-up in the fight to flip the House, and we know she’ll be a Care Champion once she’s elected. Join us to hear her story and get in on the strategy, too!
Manny Rutinel (CO-08): Manny is an attorney, advocate, and first generation American who’s passionate about serving his community and fighting for families. His race in Colorado’s 8th district is a key pickup opportunity for us to build a Care Majority in Congress. Growing up with a single mother, he’s inspired by hard work and grateful for opportunities that have allowed him to attend college, law school and now, represent Adams County in Colorado’s General Assembly. Since taking office, Manny has championed bills to expand Coloradans’ earned income tax credits, and build out the state’s child tax credit—getting money back for families facing a growing affordability crisis. Hear from Manny on why he’s fired up to fight for the American dream Donald Trump and his opponent incumbent Gabe Evans seem determined to destroy.
Together, we’ll map out the strategy to flip the U.S. House in November and pass real care infrastructure for working families—from affordable child care and paid family leave to health and elder care.
Together, we’re building a future where we all have the tools to be able to work, take care of our families, and contribute to our communities. See you on September 3rd!
