37 Local & State Candidates Take the ‘Courage to Change’ Pledge.
 

(THE BRONX, NY) - In January, the Courage to Change PAC released a national policy questionnaire for candidates running in state, local, and federal races in 2022. Today, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pleased to announce that, to date, 37 candidates for local and state office have successfully completed the questionnaire and received the ‘Courage to Change Policy Pledge Distinction,’ which is designed to help constituents identify candidates who are committed to social, racial and economic justice. The candidates come from 14 different states and include candidates for school board, selectman, state legislature, city council, county commissioner, and mayor, among others. 

“When voters see that a candidate has received the Courage to Change distinction, they know that candidate is people-funded, committed to the grassroots, and supports policies that prioritize the working-class in the pursuit of social, economic and racial justice,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a statement. “The CTC policy distinction is awarded to candidates who clearly demonstrate an unwavering commitment to change a political system that puts wealthy special interests ahead of working people. It means you have the courage to stand up to established interests, big money, and politics as usual no matter the Party.”
