Progressive Caucus PAC endorses Illinois mayor over grassroots candidate in open House race


The Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC has endorsed Mayor Daniel Biss for the open Illinois House seat over grassroots candidate Kat Abughazaleh following her indictment.

The announcement, from co-chairs Maxwell Frost (D-FL) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), comes months before the March 17 primary.

“He will be a strong partner in moving forward critical legislation, including Medicare for All, the PRO Act, a wealth tax on billionaires and ultra millionaires, as well as holding ICE accountable, and ensuring humane reforms to our immigration system,” the co-chairs said in a statement. “Because of his deep roots in the district, we are confident he will continue to build a broad, diverse coalition of local and in-district support.”
