The founders of the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Company, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, have announced that they are collaborating with MoveOn.org to initiate a “Take Back Congress” contest wherein participants are invited to suggest creative names for new ice-cream flavors to promote the congressional campaigns of seven leftist Democrats who are running in the upcoming midterm elections.
Those seven candidates are Democratic House challengers Jess King, Lauren Underwood, Aftab Pureval, J.D Scholten, Ammar Campa Najjar, Stephany Rose Spaulding, and James Thompson. In a press release announcing the contest, Cohen and Greenfield said: “We need a Democratic majority to check President Trump’s unrestrained power.”
