WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Melissa Conyears-Ervin for Illinois’ 7th Congressional District.
“Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse Melissa Conyears-Ervin,” said EDW Chair Rep. Lois Frankel. “As Chicago’s City Treasurer, Melissa is expanding financial education and ensuring public dollars help working families build long-term security. With her service in the Illinois House and deep Chicago roots, she knows her community well. We are proud to stand with her.”
“From the state House to serving as City Treasurer, my work has always been about helping families build financial security and real opportunity,” said Melissa Conyears-Ervin. “In Congress, I’ll bring that same focus to Washington — working to make education more affordable, expand access to homeownership, support small businesses in every neighborhood, and make sure government truly invests in people. I’m grateful for Elect Democratic Women’s support as we keep building a future where everyone has a fair shot to succeed.”
