Robin Carnahan
Carnahan is running for retiring Senator Kit Bond's seat in Missouri. She currently serves as Missouri's Secretary of State, where has focused on protecting consumers, cracking down on financial fraud, cutting costs and red-tape for businesses, and ensuring fair elections. She also continues to manage her family's 900 acre farm.

WAND distinguishing points: Carnahan pledges to fight for Missourians, not special interests and says on her questionnaire;"I am strongly in favor of restoring accountability and responsibility to all aspects of the federal budget -- and spending by the Pentagon should be no exception. No-bid contracts and earmarks for defense contractors waste taxpayers money and undermine our national security.

Terri Sewell
Terri Sewell is a bright, talented, trailblazer running for an open Congressional seat in Alabama’s 7th district. Terri was the first African-American valedictorian of Selma High School. She went on to graduate with honors from Princeton University (one year after First Lady Michelle Obama). She received her Masters degree from Oxford University and her law degree from Harvard University (one year after President Obama). In New York City she worked as a securities lawyer, so she has a deep understanding of the workings of our financial system and how to reform it. Upon returning to Alabama, Terri continued to practice law. One of her focuses is educational finance; she represents many of Alabama’s historically black colleges. The 7th district has some of the poorest counties in the nation, and Terri has pledged to work for economic development and job creation. Terri has been completely engaged in every community she’s been a part of but her roots are in Alabama and she says, “I’ve been inspired by President Obama’s call to action … to become more involved in our communities as well as our country.”

WAND Distinguishing Points: We believe her commitment to improving her community and expanding the opportunities available to its people would make her an ideal member of Congress.
