Vote Mama & CPC PAC Endorse Representative Grace Meng’s Re-Election Campaign

Progressive organizations rally behind longtime ally in Congress

QUEENS, NEW YORK (TIP): Vote Mama and the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) today, March 13, announced their endorsement of Representative Grace Meng’s re-election campaign in New York’s 6th congressional district, applauding the work she’s done in Washington to uplift working families in Queens and across the United States.

Vote Mama is a grassroots political organization dedicated to helping mothers with young children run for office. They promote candidates and policies that prioritize family-friendly initiatives such as flexible legislative schedules, paid leave, and childcare support to make elected office more accessible to parents and families.

“Rep. Meng brings the lived experience of a mama who gave birth while serving in elected office; she understands what it’s like to have babies and raise them in this country,” said Liuba Grechen Shirley, Founder and CEO of the Vote Mama PAC. “We all see the way Rep. Meng centers the needs of working families as she fights to advance menstrual equity and end period poverty. I am grateful to have her as a friend, and Vote Mama PAC is proud to continue partnering with her to break down barriers and put more mamas in power.”

CPC PAC raises money from progressive supporters and grassroots donors to elect and defend candidates who back policies that expand healthcare access, bolster climate action, and strengthen labor protections. The PAC directs its support towards leaders associated with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest ideological caucus of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Grace Meng is exactly the kind of leader the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC fights to protect — someone who shows up every day for her constituents and delivers real results for working families,” said CPC PAC Co-Chairs Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar and Maxwell Frost. “She has been an indispensable partner in pushing forward our legislative priorities, from healthcare to housing to an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. Her devotion to the people of Queens is admirable, and every New Yorker is better off for her leadership. We are proud to support her re-election and look forward to keep fighting for America’s future together.”

“Everyone knows the hardest-working Americans come from Queens,” said Rep. Grace Meng. “I am proud to have fought and won policies that make it possible for working people to thrive professionally without compromising their family and personal lives. I am excited to continue working with my colleagues in the Congressional Progressive Caucus and partners at Vote Mama to ensure every New Yorker has the opportunity to grow, flourish financially, and achieve success.”
