Susan Sarandon donates to Snider for Congress!!
Arlington, TX-Political activist, humanitarian, and Academy Award winning actress Susan Sarandon has donated to Justin Snider for Congress! Ms. Sarandon was an outspoken supporter for Senator Bernie Sanders during the 2016 primary, in which Snider was a National Delegate. Sarandon continues to speak out against injustice and bias in our nation’s broken political system.
- “I want to personally thank Ms. Sarandon for her donation and her action at the 2016 National Convention. Her presence (as well as the crowds of fellow activists at the convention), to urge the DNC to choose the strongest candidate to go against Trump, helped us gain strength as we walked into the convention where we were not wanted and propped us back up as we left. As Hillary Clinton was trailing by 5 points in the polls at that time, and Bernie Sanders was well ahead, we saw the loss to the Republicans in June of 2016, rather than in November as the rest of the Nation saw it. So thank you Susan Sarandon for your fight, you are a warrior for justice and I’ll continue to fight with you.”-
Mr. Snider is running to represent District 6, which includes most of Arlington, Mansfield and Ellis and Navarro counties. This seat has been held by Republican Congressman Joe Barton since 1984. Snider for Congress is extremely honored that Susan has chosen our campaign to donate too and we continue to stand as the progressive voice for change in District 6.[6]
