Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumThe Working Families Party has narrowed its list of potential 2020 endorsements.
The Working Families Party, a collective of progressive grassroots organizations and union activists, is launching its national endorsement process early on in the Democratic Partys presidential primary.
Working Families Party leadership alerted its members in a call Sunday evening that they were opening the endorsement process and have narrowed the field down to six of the 24 candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Cory Booker, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and former Obama administration secretary Julián Castro. The list of considered candidates was determined after campaigns submitted answers to WFP about their visions for the future, how theyd achieve them, and their history with Working Families Party affiliates.
In 2015, the Working Families Party made its first national political endorsement when its membership voted to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders underdog campaign against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primary. But the group left open the possibility of endorsements in the 2020 primary.
Bottom line, were looking for the best candidate who can look who can defeat Donald Trump and also the best candidate, upon the defeat Donald Trump, to be able to layout and execute a broad agenda that will transform the lives of everyday people, Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party told BuzzFeed News. For us, its two things: electability and the ability to transform our country and we think those two things are aligned.
