I served for 25 years in the U.S. Army. I know firsthand that our democracy is not gifted to us. I have witnessed soldiers die in front of me. I have seen the price paid by heroes both in and out of uniform to defend our freedom.
MAGA politicians disgrace those sacrifices by helping Donald Trump willfully tear our constitution to shreds. Making it harder for people to vote, trying to overturn election results, and inciting an insurrection against our democracy. Those actions are shameful, and the people who aid or enable them are villains or cowards.
That’s why, when the most vulnerable Democratic district in Maryland became an open race, I knew I had to step up to ensure that this must-win seat stays blue.
I’m an Army veteran who knows democracy is earned through sacrifice. I’ve had enough of politicians who are destroying our democracy. Together we can defeat divisive politics and focus on serving the people, but that requires a movement of grassroots supporters.
John: Democracy isn’t a single-player sport, and neither is securing it.
If you are in this fight with me, will you please consider pitching in a donation before midnight tomorrow? I’ve been asking supporters to donate $20.24 in honor of next year’s election, but any amount helps.
