For more than four decades, Rev. Haynes has served Dallas as the Senior Pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church, helping grow a small congregation of fewer than 100 members into more than 13,000 — transforming it into a community hub for civic engagement, economic empowerment, voter education, workforce development, and social change. Rev. Haynes is running to bring an outside vision to Washington: one that brings the voices of everyday people into Congress and turns their real-life experiences into policy that delivers dignity, opportunity, and security for all. Instead of more corporate talking points and political convenience, Rev. Haynes is running to deliver economic security, environmental justice, and ending the war on our communities at home and abroad.
