Working Families Party Just Getting Started in Rhode Island with Leonela Felix
Manage episode 275841457 series 2815276
In Rhode Island's September primaries, the Working Families Party pulled off an astonishing feat: 90% of the primary seats they sought were won by the party endorsed candidate. In a state where the Democratic primary often serves as the de facto general election, these victories mean that the Rhode Island State Senate and State House will have 12 new members, all of whom have earned the endorsement of the Working Families Party https://workingfamilies.org/about/
In Episode 5, Pat talked to a promising and energetic candidate who is party of this cohort of WFP backed candidates: Leonela Felix, candidate for State House seat from District 61. Leonela tells her story: she's an immigration attorney who got her start in politics through activism and doing the grassroots campaign work that characterizes the Working Families Party. The party pushed her to run because of her energy, her advocacy, as well as her skills and focus that would be an asset to the state and her constituents. We think you'll find that she's involved in politics for all the right reasons, and she's ready to work hard for the people of Rhode Island -- so ready that she walked 370 miles in the process of campaigning for the seat. If you liked what you heard from Leonela and want to learn more or donate to her campaign, follow this link: https://www.leonelafelix.com/
Dan, Carlos, Deto, and Pat also discuss Trump's recent Covid diagnosis and what that means for his campaign strategy, Amy Coney Barret's nomination process and other pressing political matters of the day.
