Support Ayanna Pressley for Speaker of the House. Democrats just won back Congress, and the moment demands a leader who will fight like it. Pressley said it herself: "It's not enough to be the adults in the room. We have to prove that we are the FIGHTERS in the room." That is exactly right. A majority of Democratic voters support Medicare for All and ending US military aid to Israel. The current House Democratic leader opposes both. That gap between leadership and the base is not sustainable, and voters just made clear they want bold action, not managed retreat. More than 18,000 people have already signed a petition calling for Pressley to lead the House. She has spent her career building coalitions, speaking plainly, and refusing to flinch on hard issues. That is the leadership this moment requires. Back Pressley for Speaker.
