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! Then, we organized to help her primary against a conservative Democrat by helping her campaign hire staff and run effectively — and raising small-dollar donations to help her win.

Actions for Saldana:

  • FUNDRAISING — Hundreds of our members have chipped in small amounts to help Saldana win.
  • CAMPAIGN ASSISTANCE — We helped the campaign hire key staff and run effectively.
