John,
President Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday night was a rallying cry for all of us: stand up and fight for America, for truth, and for each other.
“My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth of January 6th,” Biden said. That phrase, “and some of you here” is extraordinary, and exactly the kind of full-court press fighting attitude we must adopt this year if we are to defeat Trump and Trumpism across the country.
Defeating Trump is not enough—we must replace the extremists obstructing compromise and progress in Congress, too.
In the Navy, I learned the importance of confronting our challenges straight on, with honesty, courage, and integrity. I am proud that this campaign is part of a bigger movement to stand up against the rise of extremism and bring pro-democracy and pro-freedom Americans together.
This is about more than just one seat or one person. It's about setting a course towards a future where healthcare, education, and jobs are accessible to all. Where our rights are not just protected but championed.
