Congressman Tom Suozzi on signing the Promise to America

Congressman Tom Suozzi, a founding signer of the Promise to America, joins Promise Director Felix Frisch to discuss why the PTA is needed in this political moment.

Happy Constitution Day! 239 years ago, delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution of the United States in Philadelphia.

We’re not going to pretend to top that, but please join the Promise to America’s November 10th post-election celebration, taking place at the National Union Building in DC from 5-7 pm. RSVP here!

This week, we are thrilled to be joined by Congressman Tom Suozzi, founding signer of the Promise to America. Alongside co-signer Congressman Adam Gray, he is one of only two Democrats to flip a district also won by Donald Trump in the 2024 election cycle. We discuss his efforts to work across the aisle in Congress and tackle affordability, and why he’s recently been endorsed by mayors in his district from across the political spectrum.
