“Dreaming big helped Mondaire Jones go from a working class family that relied on Section 8 housing to working for the Obama White House,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “In Congress, Mondaire will stand up to Big Money special interests and fight for affordable healthcare. Mondaire Jones is the Democrat who will deliver results for families in the district.”

As a boy, Mondaire dreamed big. 

With hard work, Mondaire went from Section 8 housing to Harvard Law and the Obama Administration.

Now, he’s running to put power in the hands of working people.

Refusing corporate PAC money. 

And putting affordable health care ahead of special interests. 

Mondaire will fight for us, because he’s one of us.
