S2E1: Endorsed by Bernie Sanders, the New York Times, and Elizabeth Warren: Who is Mondaire Jones?
Manage episode 273475580 series 2519519
Mondaire Jones is not your typical politician. Despite being raised in Section 8 housing and on food stamps by a single mother working multiple, Mondaire made it to Stanford for college and Harvard for law school before working for President Obama and the Legal Aid Society. Since then, he's decided to run for Congress, winning his party's nomination as a young, gay, black progressive in a mostly white and wealthy district in New York. As he heads toward the general election next month, Mondaire sat down with Neil to talk about his "dialing for dollars" fundraising, winning endorsements from Bernie Sanders, the New York Times, and Elizabeth Warren, and his goal of becoming the first black, LGBTQ+ member of congress.
