The Sunrise Movement endorses top Sanders ally Nina Turner to fill US House seat in Ohio
CNN
The Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate activist group, on Monday announced its endorsement of former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner, further bolstering her campaign's progressive support ahead of a special election for an open US House seat in Ohio.
Turner, a top ally of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is running to succeed former Rep. Marcia Fudge, whom the Senate confirmed in March as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, leaving an open congressional seat in Ohio's 11th District. The heavily Democratic northeast Ohio district will hold a special election in November, with a Democratic primary in August. Turner is running in a crowded Democratic field that includes Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Chairwoman Shontel Brown, who is also a member of the county council, and former Cleveland City Councilor Jeff Johnson. Sunrise is the latest in a line of progressive groups, including Justice Democrats and the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, to throw its support behind Turner. It's Sunrise's first congressional endorsement of 2021.More Related News
