We're not backing down
Dr. Emily Lux for Congress
Why I’m Running
I’m running for Congress to be a leader, to do politics differently and creatively, and to protect those communities that have been exploited and marginalized.
I’m running for Congress to stand up to misinformation, unlawful behavior, and oligarchy rule.
I’m running for Congress because I want to listen to you, elevate your voices, and fight for your concerns.
I’m running for Congress because I am a mother to two young children, and am concerned about their education, their safety, and being able to afford food and activities so that they can thrive.
