Kat Abughazaleh, the Gen Z content creator running for retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky’s seat, received her first endorsement from a member of Congress on Monday: Rep. Ro Khanna.
The endorsement comes three days after Khanna called out the Democratic Party at the Voters of Tomorrow Summit, arguing that the party’s “old guard needs to go.” Abughazaleh was also in attendance at the conference.
“The old ways have not been working. This party needs a new rebirth,” Khanna, who has been trying to position himself as a leader of the Democratic Party, said at the summit. “This party needs a rebirth to stand for human rights. This party needs a rebirth to stand for the working class. This party needs a rebirth to stand for people over the donor class.”
