Progressives back 27-year-old substitute to challenge Wasserman Schultz in FL-20
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee endorsed Elijah Manley, a 27-year-old substitute teacher who grew up homeless, to challenge long-time Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida’s newly drawn 20th district, framing it as a contest between a young economic populist and the Democratic establishment; Manley runs on Medicare for All, a federal jobs guarantee and a worker-centric economy amid a competitive primary that includes several other candidates and recent polling suggesting potential momentum.
