Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee introduces Cenk and Michael Shure to four “bold progressive” Democratic candidates running for Congress in 2012.
Community organizer Ilya Sheyman (Ill.-10) goes up against a moderate in the most Democratic district in the country currently held by a Republican.
“I can’t believe Ilya is 25,” Cenk says, “because I feel like I’ve been getting emails from him, whether it was for MoveOn or Democracy for America, for like 10 years.”
Eric Griego (N.M.-1) passed public funding of elections into law while on the Albuquerque city council and a green jobs bill as a state senator.
Ann McLane Kuster (N.H.-2) ran in 2010, coming within a few thousand votes of winning.
Chris Donovan (Conn.-5), speaker of the Connecticut state house, has passed 12 minimum wage increases and has supported public financing of elections.
