IL-07 Congressional Candidate Anabel Mendoza Receives Muslims United PAC Endorsement

“Anabel’s campaign represents a powerful opportunity for transformative leadership”


CHICAGO — Today, Muslims United PAC announced its endorsement of Anabel Mendoza in Illinois’ 7th Congressional District, citing her strong record of advocacy for human rights, justice, and working families. In its announcement, Muslims United PAC highlighted Anabel’s unique ability to connect with voters and build momentum across diverse communities. 

According to Muslims United PAC, Data for Progress polling shows Anabel has the highest voter conversion rate in this race — when voters hear her message, they move. The organization emphasized that Anabel’s campaign represents a powerful opportunity for transformative leadership, noting that she has demonstrated the vision and courage needed to represent communities often left unheard, and that she now needs the resources to ensure her message reaches more voters.


“I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Muslims United PAC because this campaign is about moral clarity and real courage. While politicians fund endless war and ignore working families, our communities are demanding justice — from ending U.S. complicity in genocide abroad to guaranteeing health care, housing, and dignity for everyone, regardless of immigration status,” said Anabel Mendoza. “I’m running to challenge corporate power, stand up against Trump’s cruel attacks on immigrant communities and our neighbors, and fight for a future where our government answers to people, not special interests. We don’t need more silence — we need leaders ready to fight.”
