MoveOn.org Civic Action Executive Director Anna Galland on Bernie Sanders Entering the Presidential Race
By Brian Stewart. Thursday, April 30 2015
Statement of Anna Galland, executive director of MoveOn.org Civic Action, on the entry of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders into the Democratic presidential contest:
“MoveOn members welcome Sen. Bernie Sanders to the presidential race. MoveOn members have cheered on Sen. Sanders for years as he’s stood up to the Wall Street banks and wealthy interests who have rigged the game in Washington and knee-capped our country’s middle-class and working families. We look forward to engaging in a conversation with him and all the candidates about the challenges facing America right now.
“The Democratic Party is made stronger by each additional voice who enters the race and commits to being a strong advocate for everyday, hardworking Americans and not just the wealthy few. That’s why we and our allies continue to call on Sen. Elizabeth Warren to also bring her tireless advocacy for middle-class and working Americans to the race. Our country will be stronger if she runs.”
