'''[[Carol Moseley Braun]]''' (born 1947) is a former Senator from [[Illinois]] (1992-1998) and former U.S. ambassador to [[New Zealand]] (1999-2001). Braun has long had close ties with the [[Communist Party USA]]. In 1978 she was a leading member on the Committee to Elect [[John Lumpkin]] for the 7th Ward Alderman, [[Chicago]]. Lumpkin was the son of prominent [[Chicago]] [[CPUSA]] leaders [[Frank Lumpkin]] and [[Bea Lumpkin]]. Also that year, Braun was elected to the [[Illinois]] State legislature where she became legislative [[floor leader]] for [[CPUSA]]-linked Congressman [[Harold Washington]]. In November 1979 she was a co-sponsor, with Congressmen [[Ron Dellums]] and [[John Conyers]] of the founding conference of the [[CPUSA]]-led [[U.S. Peace Council]], an affiliate of the Soviet controlled [[World Peace Council]]. When she ran for the U.S. Senate in 1992 on the [[Democratic]] ticket, she enjoyed the support of the [[CPUSA]] just as her friend and colleague Washington had done. In 1978 the [[Socialist Party USA]] put their support Braun in her campaign for Rep. [[Robert Mann]]'s old U.S. Congress seat. In the early 1980s Braun, Washington, [[Danny Davis]], [[Frank Rosen]] and long-time friend [[Timuel Black]] were members of the [[Committee in Support of Southern Africa]]. In 1992 the [[Democratic Socialists of America]]-infiltrated [[Chicago]] [[Democratic Party]] persuaded Braun to run for the U.S. Senate. They then ''"produced votes to back up [their] pledge of support."'' The [[Council for a Livable World]] also endorsed her in the race. [[Institute for Policy Studies]] and [[Campaign for America's Future]] leader [[Robert Borosage]] has served as an issues adviser to the campaigns of Braun, [[Barbara Boxer]] and the late [[Paul Wellstone]]. In November 2010 Braun announced that she will be running in the 2011 Chicago mayoral election. ('''[[Carol Moseley Braun|more...]]''')</div></div>
