A number of newly elected progressives from across the country are poised to join the "Squad" of left-wing champions in the U.S. House following Tuesday's midterm elections, with Reps.-elect Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Maxwell Frost of Florida, and others crediting their working people-focused campaigns for their victories.
Voters "care about how much their basic needs cost," Lee told WESA in Pittsburgh after winning in Pennsylvania's 12th District. "Their groceries and their gas bills. They care about a living wage. These are things that truly connect us. And I believe that's actually what makes progressives and our progressive messaging resonate."
