John,

I wanted to inform you that former Ohio Congressman & presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has joined the race for OH-07 House as an independent candidate. Previously, Dennis was a member of the Democratic Party. However, it appears he has now chosen to run in opposition to the party, rather than contribute to its strengthening in response to far-right extremism.
?
In my view, individuals like Dennis ought to be guiding the upcoming generation of representatives. His decision not to do so means we're missing out on invaluable experience, connections, and knowledge that could have been passed down.

Our Congress is grappling with a troubling trend of leaders who hold onto power instead of nurturing new talent. Dennis, known for challenging the status quo, could have been an exception to this trend, focusing on empowering younger leaders.
