Another progressive group endorses Cooper challenger

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is the latest progressive group to endorse Keeda Haynes, the former public defender challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper in the Democratic primary.

The organization supports liberal candidates around the country and is loosely affiliated with Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren, whose first run for office the group encouraged. In recent primaries, the group supported outsider primary candidates like Charles Booker of Kentucky and Jamaal Bowman of New York.
