I’m a gay Black man from the North Philly projects — and I’m running for Senate!

Pennsylvania's Senate race is shaping up to be the most important race of 2022

Malcolm Kenyatta is running for the United States Senate to give Pennsylvania's working families a voice in Washington. If elected, Malcolm will make history by becoming the first out gay man in the Senate! Will you add your name and give Malcolm your personal endorsement today? ADD YOUR NAME Hi Pamela, I'm about to ask you to personally endorse my campaign for the United States Senate, but first, I hope you'll let me explain why. Pennsylvania's Senate race is shaping up to be the most important race of 2022. CNN ranks this seat as the most likely to flip from red to blue, and our Democratic Senate majority hangs in the balance. I'm a gay Black man who grew up struggling in the projects of North Philly. I know what it's like to work a minimum wage job, face a mountain of student loan debt, and navigate this world as an underdog in everything I do. I'm running because I've seen first-hand how Washington has failed folks like me, and I think it's about time that working people had a voice of our own in the Senate. Pamela, if you agree, it would mean the world to have your endorsement. Will you add your name to say you support our campaign for working people? ADD YOUR NAME Look, one of the things I hate most is when politicians say one thing and do another. So I'll always keep it 100 with you — and that starts with telling you up-front what I'm about: Health care as a human right Paying workers a living wage Equal protection under the law for all Leaders who answer to the people, not corporations Holding police accountable for violence against black and brown people, and Science-backed climate justice Winning this race is going to be a tough fight, but I'm not worried. I'm used to tough fights. In 2018, I was elected as the first openly LGBTQ+ person of color and one of the youngest members elected to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. I've spent my time in Harrisburg fighting for the third-poorest district in PA, my North Philly community — and now I'm ready to take this fight to Washington, for all the folks who call Pennsylvania home. If we can build a huge coalition of working people — from Pennsylvania and all across this country — I know we'll have what it takes to win. And I hope you'll be a part of it, Pamela, starting today. If you're with us, will you add your name and say you support our working-people powered movement?
