Democratic congressional candidate Dana Balter on Wednesday was endorsed by the national Progressive Change Campaign Committee in her second bid for the Syracuse area’s 24th Congressional District.

“Dana Balter is fighting for a fair shot at success for everyone — that means Medicare for All; an economy that works for working families; and a political system free from the influence of big money,” said Stephanie Taylor, PCCC co-founder. “We are proud to endorse Dana in her race to defeat the incumbent who is a rubber stamp for Trump. As a member of Congress, Dana will be a strong voice for the working people of New York and across the country.”

Balter is mounting another bid for the seat held by Republican Rep. John Katko.

The PCCC focuses on issues like an expansion of Social Security and college debt as well as Medicare for All.

“Central and Western New York deserve a representative who fights for the everyday working families instead of big money interests,” Balter said. “That means living wages, affordable healthcare, and getting big money out of politics.”

She was previously backed by EMILY’s List and Democracy for America.

The 24th District covers Onondaga, Cayuga, Wayne and part of Oswego counties.
