I am running for Congress because the people of Georgia’s 8th Congressional District deserve to have the opportunity to support and vote for a working-class progressive who will work for the good of the American people, not just corporations and billionaires.
The only way we are ever going to change things and make the system work for the average American is for working-class Americans to organize, and run for office ourselves, and for working-class Americans to support and vote for those candidates. We cannot rely on millionaires and billionaires, establishment politicians, or a privileged political class to do the job for us.
Establishment politicians don’t work for us. They never have and they never will. They work for their billionaire and corporate donors. And the super rich and those who live privileged lifestyles will never truly understand what it is like to be a middle-class, working-class, or poor American. If the majority of Americans want elected officials who are going to actually work for us, then we are going to have to empower ourselves.
We need leaders who will work to establish Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, thriving wages for all American workers, a Federal Jobs Guarantee, Universal Basic Income, equal rights for ALL Americans, protect and expand Social Security and benefits for disabled veterans, and restore women’s reproductive rights and healthcare rights for transgender youth.
We need leaders who will stand up to Trump and his dangerous agenda of hate, spite, revenge, and greed, his disregard for the U.S. Constitution, his support for war and genocide, and his cruel policies towards working-class and poor Americans, women, people of color, immigrants, transgender youth, and anyone else he doesn’t like.
I am running to represent Georgia’s 8th Congressional District. And I encourage other working-class progressive Americans to make the decision now to run for Senate, House of Representatives, Governors, and other state and local offices. Together, we can change our government and make it finally work for the American people.
Please take a look at my Platform, and consider making a financial contribution to help us make make more people aware of this campaign, so that voters in District 8 can have a real candidate for the people to vote for this election. And please consider volunteering to help our campaign.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Love, Compassion, Empathy, and Respect,
Jimmy Cooper
