It was once said that “if Will Rogers and Mother Jones had a baby, Jim Hightower would be that rambunctious child — mad as hell, with a sense of humor.”
So, it’s exciting that America’s most popular populist, PDA Board Member Jim Hightower, is traveling to Albuquerque to support of one of our own endorsed candidates, Eric Griego, running for Congress in New Mexico’s First District.
Eric is running a real people-powered campaign against corporate blue dog Democrats, but he’s got the record to win this critical congressional race. Eric passed real campaign finance and ethics reform, a green jobs bill, and works for the people to “fight the powers that be.” Having two passionate 99% warriors together is sure to make for a fun night.
As Jim would say, “even a dead fish can go with the flow.” Come meet with fellow Democrats on February 23, and “we’ll stir things up a bit.”
