Washington — Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) announced it has endorsed Anthony Driver in the March 17th primary election for Illinois’s 7th Congressional District.
“Anthony Driver is a lifelong Chicagoan and longtime labor leader,” said CPC PAC Co-Chairs Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar and Maxwell Frost. “Anthony has seen the challenges working families face and taken action to address them, successfully working with SEIU to raise Chicago’s minimum wage to $15 an hour and establish the city’s first Civilian Oversight Board over its police department. In Congress, Anthony will fight to pass strong gun violence prevention legislation, improve pay and conditions for workers, end mass deportations under ICE, and cap childcare costs. Anthony is a strong and proven progressive leader and we are delighted to endorse his campaign.”
“I am honored to have the support of the Congressional Progressive Caucus,” said Anthony Driver. “This campaign is about putting working people ahead of corporate power and building a government that answers to our communities. Together, we’re organizing to win IL-07 and fight for bold change in Congress.”
Over the past three election cycles, the CPC PAC has raised over $13 million and invested in progressive candidates across the country. Over the decade, a majority of CPC PAC’s pre-primary endorsements have gone on to win their race in the general election. In 2024, the CPC was the only ideological caucus to send new members to Congress in 50% or more of races in which its affiliated PAC made a pre-primary endorsement.
