    Candidate briefing

    Ayanna Pressley represents Massachusetts’s 7th Congressional District. A Squad member and former Boston city councilor, she fights for racial justice, economic dignity, disability justice, and a government that puts people over profit.

    Why Political Revolution supports her: she turns movement demands into governing power and centers communities too often left out of Washington’s calculus.
