John, when I said I wanted to be a part of history, this isn't exactly what I had meant ⬇️.

It's been over two weeks since Kevin McCarthy lost his position as Speaker of the House. And I wish I could say this was the first instance of Republicans not being able to govern, but being in Congress for less than a year, I've seen enough carelessness, enough wrongdoing, enough disregard for our people to last a lifetime.

FIRST: On the night freshmen like me were supposed to be sworn in, Republicans couldn't come to a consensus on who should be Speaker of the House. What followed was a five-day, fifteen vote fiasco that ultimately led Kevin McCarthy to the speakership.

THEN: After months of Republican-induced chaos, including narrowly avoiding defaulting on our debt AND a government shutdown, Kevin McCarthy became the first Speaker to be removed from the position – by his own party – in congressional history.

NOW: History is repeating itself. Republicans have, yet again, failed to successfully elect a Speaker. After over two weeks of petty political games, we are still no closer toward accomplishing the congressional work we were elected to do.

John, enough is enough.

I worked my hardest to get to Congress to be able to push the needle on life-saving and life-changing legislation for my constituents. But Republicans have made it clear their only focus is to hold our law making processes hostage.

It's time to tell Republicans to give up the games and focus on what really matters. I want to continue being a strong voice for our communities, but my team and I need your help to get the signatures we need to get my name on the ballot in 2024. Will you chip in $15, $35, or $50 today?
