Burlington, VT - On behalf of the progressive grassroots, Democracy for America today endorsed Darcy Burner who is running for Washington’s 8th Congressional District.

Darcy Burner enjoys the enthusiastic support of activists from local DFA groups such as Eastside Democracy for America. She is a true leader with the courage to fight for progressive values. Darcy’s brother currently serves in the Army’s 101st Airborne and has done one tour of duty in Iraq.  Burner knows firsthand the importance of clear benchmarks to measure success in Iraq, stem cell research, energy independence, strong public schools, ethics reform, affordable health care, environment protection, and retirement security.

Democracy for America, which was founded by Howard Dean in 2004, is a political action committee dedicated to building a grassroots network of socially progressive and fiscally responsible activists running for all levels of office – from the school board to the United States Senate.  DFA is empowering everyday Americans to reform their political system.
