WASHINGTON, DC – Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Shannon Bird for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District.
“Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse Shannon Bird for Congress. Shannon brings a unique blend of professional expertise and grassroots leadership — from her work in public finance and law to her hands-on efforts improving local schools. As a mom who started as a volunteer in her children’s classroom and went on to co-found an organization empowering families and educators to make schools work for everyone, she has always been guided by a deep commitment to community. In Congress, Shannon will fight to lower costs, strengthen Colorado’s economy, and bring the same passion and purpose she’s shown in the State House,” said Rep. Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women.
“I’m honored to have the support of Elect Democratic Women. Raised by a single mother and grandmother, I saw firsthand the strength and sacrifice it takes for families to get by. Families across Colorado are working hard to make ends meet, and they deserve a representative who will fight just as hard for them. In Congress, I’ll continue working to strengthen our schools, create good jobs, and build a fair economy that works for every Coloradan,” said Shannon Bird.
