Marcy Winograd is a long-time activist for peace and social justice running against corporate / Blue Dog incumbent Jane Harman (CA-36) in the June 8 Democratic primary. Marcy wants to redirect our priorities from war spending and corporate greed to job creation, world-class
education, health care, and energy independence through a Green New Deal. While Jane Harman famously called herself "The Best Republican in the Democratic Party," the Party named Marcy a "Democrat of the Year." Come see why the San Francisco Chronicle named this one of seven national races to watch.
