A three-term state legislator and university educator, Lori Saldana is a passionate fighter for middle-class families and opposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare. “I want Democrats to have backbone,” she says.
We held a press conference where progressive candidates delivered thousands of petition signatures to House Speaker John Boehner’s office, demanding a jobs bill. Lori stole the show!
