Candace Valenzuela wants to make history as the first Afro-Latina in Congress, and hopes her victory in November can help continue the fight for social justice waged by the late Rep. John Lewis. - NBCLatino

that have seen protests and his portrayal of Democrats, and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, as soft on crime., Valenzuela said,"He's putting up pictures of Biden and fires and things, [like] this is going to be Biden's America, when it's literally pictures of his America."

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced her campaign to expand their digital efforts to fundraise and reach voters. Still, she's met people who have recently lost their jobs who have told her,"I know you're going to be working for me, here's $5." Valenzuela's campaign estimates she will need up to four million dollars as they work to win voters before November. Between last April and June, her campaign raised $470,000, considered a record for her district, and since last week, she has raised an additional $130,000 from more than 18,000 donors.

John Lewis’s Fight Is Still Our FightI like to think if Lewis were 21 years old today, he would be climbing up a Confederate statute and proudly waving a Black Lives Matter banner in the air, a fire in his eyes. He showed such bravery throughout his long life. A model of a statesman and public servant. Being violent and abusive and divisive just makes you people no one wants in their back yard. That goes for whites, blacks, hispanics, violent disability marchers and anyone who spits at police officers has no place in decent society.
