A safely Democratic district like AL-07 provides one of the best opportunities we have to elect a new pro-choice Democratic woman to Congress. And because Alabama has never elected a woman to Congress in her own right, Terri is poised to make history.

We put together a special album of behind-the-scenes photos from our time on the road with the Sewell campaign. Terri brings remarkable passion and energy to this race -- and we're thrilled to be standing with her.
