I proudly endorse Liuba Grechen Shirley for the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Congressional District of New York! Liuba is a progressive community organizer from Amityville, New York who is running for the U.S. House seat currently held by Republican Peter King, who has largely been a rubber stamp for far-right President Donald Trump.

Liuba is supported by a number of Democratic and progressive individuals and organizations, including former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, and Long Island-based progressive organizations like Suffolk Progressives and Bay Shore Women's Huddle.
