How did I get here?
How did I find myself in the middle of the floor of the House of Representatives using my training as a Marine to protect myself and my colleagues?
How did I get to the point where I was teaching my colleagues how to put on gas masks and regulate their breathing and later teaching my staff how to knock on the door of our office a certain way to signal it was them and not some attacker?
This was stuff I learned in Iraq when surrounded by insurgents.
The truth is, I was ready to fight to protect our democracy on January 6th, but that fight is far from over.
Republicans like Kari Lake are willing to do and say anything for political power. They will divide Americans, peddle conspiracy theories and even tear away at the fabric of our democracy if it would help her win an election.
Abraham Lincoln said, "Let none falter, who thinks he is right, and we may succeed."
The fight to defend our democracy will not be easy. We will suffer attacks along the way. Some will be personal, some will be to divide us.
But if we're in this together, we will succeed. We will win this race and keep Kari Lake out of the Senate. But I cannot do it alone.
With never-ended thanks for your continued support.
