John, it's been over two weeks since Kevin McCarthy became the first person in history to be removed as Speaker of the House.
Republicans have been trying, and failing, to elect a new Speaker,and there is no end in sight. The threat of a government shutdown is looming! You and I will be the ones to pay the price for the Republicans’ inability to govern.
As a schoolteacher for over two decades, I've seen how badly our communities need a voice – someone who will stand up against the far-right extremists and enact legislation that will empower working folks.
After he was elected, Kevin McCarthy turned his back on our district and NEVER looked back.
As House Republicans attempt to clean up their mess, their new pick for Speaker will undoubtedly continue to put politics ahead of our community needs.
John, I'm running because I'm tired of watching McCarthy put our community on the back burner.
I'm running to fight for our working families and our Title 1 schools in Congress, but I need your help to get there.
