Luz Rivas

Rep. Schakowsky is the author of the Future Generations Protection Act, which would ban fracking, stop LNG and crude oil exports, and prohibit any new fossil fuel power plants.

Ruben Gallego

Representative Ruben Gallego is running for U.S. Senate after serving in Congress since 2015. Gallego has been a champion for preserving water resources in Arizona, authoring the Domestic Water Protection Act, which would block foreign companies from growing water-intensive crops in drought-stricken regions.

As a Senator, Gallego would do away with the filibuster, empowering Democrats to pass legislation needed to address the climate crisis, rebuild our country’s water systems, and fix our broken food system.

Chris DeLuzio

A voting rights attorney and labor activist, Chris DeLuzio brings to Congress his experiences protecting our elections and successfully organizing for the University of Pittsburgh Faculty union.

In February 2023, Chris’ constituents in Beaver County and their neighbors in East Palestine, Ohio were put in danger when a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in our backyards. People in his community were evacuated, impacted by toxic chemicals in the air and potential contamination of their drinking water. Families were scared that their homes were no longer a safe place to live. Chris responded by introducing his Railway Safety Act to protect his constituents from corporations like Norfolk Southern, which only care about their own profits.
