In the House, Representative Menefee will continue championing lifesaving gun safety policies by banning assault weapons and bump stocks, closing background check loopholes, and limiting high-capacity magazines. He also supports restarting the federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Workers Defense Action Fund is proud to endorse Christian D. Menefee for Congressional District 18. Menefee has the track record, leadership, and heart to deliver for working families.

Menefee is endorsed: Full support for this candidate. They fully align with our values & have shown they are ready to fight for them.

Green is recognized: Not fully aligned with progressive values. Better than Republican/other alternatives.

Christian is the 38-year-old incumbent.
In 2020, Christian unseated a three-term incumbent to become the youngest and first Black Harris County Attorney. From day one, he went to work fighting for the people. When Texas Republicans tried to restrict voting rights and throw out election results, he fought them in court and won. When corporations polluted Black and Brown neighborhoods, he forced them to clean up their mess. And when businesses price-gouged families during hurricanes and disasters, he held them accountable.
Christian has been engaged in the national legal fight against Trump—challenging his administration’s efforts to cut funding for life-saving medical research and deny birthright citizenship to immigrant families. I am disappointed that he has not signed the Block the Bombs Act.

We are recommending Christian Menefee for CD-18.
