Progressive group that recruited AOC to run for Congress targets first incumbent Democrat of 2022 cycle
Fox News
The progressive group that in 2018 backed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's quest for Congress is unveiling its first moderate Democratic target of the 2022 election cycle.
In announcing her campaign, the 39-year old Kelly, who is Black, took aim at the 66-year old Cooper's record of fiscally conservative votes in the House. "We need more pathways out of poverty, and the status quo is no longer good enough," said Kelly, a co-founder and executive director of the liberal group Stand Up Nashville. "I know how to build coalitions that get results, and I'm running for Congress so that we can make bold, ambitious change at the national level."More Related News
