Mike Erlandson is announcing a plan to fund early childhood education:

Erlandson will detail the six main points of the act, which will provide access to quality Pre-Kindergarten education for every American three- and four-year old child. The press event will take place at the Bethune School, which houses a Pre-K program that provides services similar to those that the Act will provide funding for.

And Keith Ellison will announce support from “Pro Choice Progressive Women for Ellison”.

They will be there to show their for support Rep. Keith Ellison, DFL/Labor endorsed candidate for Congress, for his proven progressive values, including his support for reproductive healthcare for women as well as his support of the progressive values of the 5th District.

Mike, Could you please inform your readers or could you and your MSM colleagues do some research into the Pro Choice Progressive Women group. How long have they been around? When were they established? Who else have they supported in past campaigns? Who is their President and who are their officers? Are they are registered group? Where is their office?
I'm sure you will have more questions since you are the journalist. Thank you.

It is not an organization - it is individuals, Pro-Choice, Progressive Women who support Keith Ellison.

Yes, and I'm sure the other candidates could come up with a similar group. This feels like an effort to respond to the news that Emily's List is backing Ember Reichgott Junge.
