A candidate for Congress, Marcy Winograd is challenging Blue Dog Jane Harman in the June 8, 2010 Democratic Primary. In 2006, Marcy jumped into the race just three months before the election, yet mobilized almost 38% of the vote on an anti-war, pro-constitution platform. Winograd, a veteran English teacher, is the founder of the LA chapter of Progressive Democrats of America. Her life-long activism includes union organizing with Cesar Chavez in the grape fields of Delano, legal research with Daniel Ellsberg on the Pentagon Papers trial, anti-Iraq War town hall forums with Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and letter writing campaigns to support universal single-payer healthcare. Marcy Winograd put the Democratic Party in California on record as opposing new offshore and onshore oil drilling. Her platform calls for an end to perpetual war and occupation, and a new day for jobs in the Green Economy.
