We want US Representative Tulsi Gabbard to consider a 2020 presidential run on the Democratic ticket.

The 2016 Democratic Primary was unfairly biased against progressive Senator Bernie Sanders, which resulted in Hillary Clinton receiving the nomination and ultimately losing to Donald Trump in the general election. Representative Gabbard resigned as vice-chair of the DNC to endorse Senator Sanders, and faced backlash from the Clinton campaign for this bold move.

Tulsi Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq War who serves on the US Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, has been a democratic representative for Hawaii since 2013 and has worked on important issues such as the promotion of clean energy, the problem of sexual assault in the military, and the restoration of the Glass-Steagall Act. Tulsi Gabbard was also the vice-presidential pick of Senator Bernie Sanders on the California general election ballot.

We believe that there is a substantial appetite in the country for a true progressive candidate, and that Tulsi Gabbard is the right person on which progressives should focus their efforts, attention and considerable enthusiasm.
