We’re proud to endorse Mai Vang, and we’re thrilled to host her for a discussion on promoting a pro-peace foreign policy this Thursday! We hope you can join us! [Registration link in comments below]

Here’s a great quote from the candidate herself:
“Our budget is a reflection of our values. Right now...more than 75% goes to military spending. We live in the richest state and the richest country in the world. Medicare for All isn’t a new idea. It’s an idea that many people have been trying to push. [We could redirect] dollars, instead of spending it on the military, investing on systems of care.”
