— BIG ENDORSEMENT: California Congressman Ro Khanna, a national leader in the progressive movement and vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, is endorsing Junaid Ahmed in his campaign for Congress in Illinois’ 8th District. “Junaid Ahmed is a progressive fighter and exactly the type of leader we need in Congress right now,” Khanna said in a statement. “With Donald Trump destroying everything we care about to give billionaires a tax break, I need a partner like Junaid in Congress to stand up for working families and fight back.”
