“Equality is the core of who we are as Democrats. From equal rights to access to healthcare, to equal opportunities to have a good life - it's what we are about.

“He’s dedicated his years to fighting for fair wages, providing life-saving emergency care, and strengthening community bonds. He’s improved working conditions in the hospitality sector, he’s worked as an EMT (witnessing first-hand our failing ‘profit before people’ system), and more recently as a economic planner, reducing poverty and increasing economic opportunity in developing countries. Now he’s determined to change the way that Washington operates.”

“VABADAN is proud to unanimously endorse Peter Volosin. Mr. Volosin supports increased funding for public schools and has stated commitment to equality and diversity and to ensure that students are protected in inclusive environments no matter their color, creed, religion, LGBTQIA identifier, gender, gender identity, disability, or immigration status. This commitment to diversity and funding for education has given the members of the VABADAN endorsement committee hope that Mr. Volosin may be the champion needed to pioneer new legislation that would undo or stem the tidal wave of damage that the DeVos leadership of the Department of Education has created.

Volosin has the background, education, and experience to effectively lead in Congress and fight on the most important education, healthcare, and immigration issues that stand in debate at this time. Additionally, Volosin is the only candidate in CD6 that has demonstrated understanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and Every Student Succeeds Act and the importance that they have to those students with disabilities. His commitment to educate every child, and push for funding and improvement in urban school districts as well as rural districts will help provide opportunities and advancement for all students and end the school to prison pipeline.”
