Statement from James Rucker, Executive Director, ColorOfChange.org PAC:

"Black Americans have long relied on Black elected officials to represent their interests in Washington, and in several cases, they've found those leaders unaccountable and compromised. Far too often, Al Wynn has worked against the interests of his Black constituents, siding instead with big business and the wealthy special interests that fund his campaigns.

Donna Edwards, Wynn's opponent in the Democratic primary, has been a powerful advocate for policies that benefit the Black community, especially low-income Black folks. She has an excellent record of public service, and we are confident that once in office she will serve her constituents with integrity and accountability.

While Nancy Pelosi holds a fundraiser this weekend in support of a member of Congress who has repeatedly failed to represent his constituents' interests, we're asking Black folks to stand up, demand better representation, and support Donna Edwards for Congress."
