Look, no matter who their Speaker is or isn’t, the House GOP have shown that they aren’t focused on helping working families, but on grandstanding and getting featured on cable news.
Some of you who’ve been around a long time know that I used to be a professional fighter in MMA. I believe being a member of Congress isn’t actually that different. To be successful, you’ve got to show up for your constituents every day—no matter what you end up facing.
Every day I’m in Congress, I’m standing up for KS-03 and for everyone to have access to a more just and fair world—whether that be pushing back against the climate crisis or passing the marriage equality law.
That’s why I’m proud that today, I was included in the Out100 list of most impactful LGBTQ+ people. I am always proud to stand up for the LGBTQ+ community.
But the attacks keep coming in. The NRCC just landed a punch with their brand new misleading attacks against my record.
The current GOP nominee for Speaker of the House has never even passed a bill into law successfully. That shows us point-blank that House Republicans are less concerned about governing than they are about causing a stir.
But from creating jobs to delivering for veterans, to supporting affordable rural housing, to passing the Farm Bill, we can’t afford to let them halt our work now. But every day is going to be more and more challenging.
That’s why every dollar raised counts in ensuring that come next year, we’re ready to take back control of the House, keeping districts like ours in the hands of responsible leaders.
