Primaries count. It should be clear by now that we need democratic leaders that are not afraid to fight for their constituents. “Blue No Matter Who” has not worked so well. It is important to have democratic majorities but we have to set our sights on leaders we deserve.

Primaries count. It should be clear by now that we need democratic leaders that are not afraid to fight for their constituents. “Blue No Matter Who” has not worked so well. It is important to have democratic majorities but we have to set our sights on leaders we deserve.
Rep. Christopher Rabb has been a strong voice for change in Pennsylvania. He has a strong record of support for the issues that are important to Pennsylvanians and has worked to control corruption in Harrisburg.
The 3rd District of the U.S. Congress is safely Democratic, which covers most of Philadelphia and there is no risk in asking for what we deserve, a strong voice for Philadelphia in Washington. I hear people say that we need to get more people to vote. I say “Give them someone to vote for.” From his website chrisrabb.com: “Rep. Chris Rabb is running for Congress because it is time to put community over commerce, expand democracy, strengthen workers’ rights, guarantee access to healthcare, housing, clean air and water, and confront the danger that concentrated wealth poses to real self-government.”
I fear that lowering the bar to electability of anyone who we are told can beat Republicans has kept us in fear and given us weak candidates. We need to have strong leaders who aren’t afraid to speak out for us. Vote in the primary on May 19. Vote for Chris Rabb, a proven voice in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Encourage your friends throughout the city to do the same.
