Fighting for Equal Representation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, The Collective PAC — the nation’s largest political action committee dedicated to increasing Black political engagement, representation, and power across all levels of government — congratulates Jevin Hodge and Representative Cori Bush on their primary victories in Arizona and Missouri.
Mr. Jevin Hodge is running to represent Arizona’s First Congressional District. From a young age, Mr. Hodge found meaning in giving back and public service, which is why he leads the Booker T. Washington Child Development Center — the longest-running Head Start center in the state. Mr. Hodge understands the issues facing Arizona families and is running for Congress to ensure quality healthcare for everyone, address income inequality and fully fund public education in Arizona.
Representative Cori Bush is running for re-election to Missouri’s First Congressional District. Congresswoman Bush is an activist, nurse, pastor, and community leader. During her first term, she introduced transformative legislation such as the Green New Deal for Cities and the People’s Response Act to congress. Rep. Bush also rebuilt crumbling infrastructure, cleaned up the community’s natural resources, like Coldwater Creek, and led a national campaign to prevent people from being evicted. If re-elected, Congresswoman Bush seeks to keep advocating for voting rights, fighting for reproductive rights, and transforming public safety.
Founders of The Collective PAC, Quentin James and Stefanie Brown James, released the following statement:
“The Collective PAC is proud to congratulate Jevin Hodge and Representative Cori Bush on winning their congressional primaries. Mr. Hodge and Rep. Cori Bush are committed to championing legislation that will advance their constituents in the First Congressional District in Arizona and Missouri, such as creating more high-wage jobs, decimating healthcare costs, voting rights, and addressing the exiting crisis of climate change. We are excited to stand with and support Jevin Hodge and Rep. Cori Bush, as they advance to the November ballot.”
