Madame Speaker,

I know you are committed to electing Democrats to Congress and working to enact progressive legislation to creat important change in the country.

I am curious how you would reconcile your work in this area with your decision to fundraise for Rep. Al Wynn during his primary against now-Rep. Donna Edwards. It was overwhelmingly clear that Donna Edwards was more progressive on an important range of issues that I know are important to you. Can you explain the difference between your commitment to progressive change and your decision to support candidates like Al Wynn?
