Washington — Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) announced it has endorsed Brook Park Councilman Brian Poindexter in the May 5th primary election for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District.
“Brian Poindexter has spent nearly two decades as an ironworker and has also fought for working families in Northeast Ohio as a union organizer and as a city councilperson,” said CPC PAC Co-Chairs Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar and Maxwell Frost. “On the Brook Park City Council, Brian won an area carried by Donald Trump and was a progressive leader, supporting public schools and the postal system while opposing school vouchers and so-called Right to Work laws. In Congress, Brian will put workers first, stand up to corporate greed and fight for an economy that rewards hard work. He is campaigning on protecting every worker’s right to organize without intimidation, holding corporations accountable when they ship jobs overseas and a system that allows everyone to get the health care they need without fear, delay or risk of financial devastation. Brian is well-equipped to flip Ohio’s 7th Congressional District from red to blue and we are excited to endorse his campaign.”
“Whether it’s fighting for trade deals that put American workers first, protecting and expanding Social Security, or fighting to end Citizens United, working people need more fighters for their interests — not special interests,” said Brian Poindexter. “I’m proud to be endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC because, now more than ever, when working people are feeling the pinch, it’s time for us to stand up, say enough is enough and fight for the future of our country.”
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.
