John — In recent weeks, as the Supreme Court issues unpopular decisions about gun safety, gerrymandering, and more, there’s a parallel storyline about the ethics violations of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
The bottom line? These justices have proudly violated ethics rules — but because there is no enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court, there is no recourse.
I’m running for the Senate to change that. To fix what’s broken in the Supreme Court and restore justice to the bench. Chip in $10 ahead of my quarterly deadline to help me make it to the Senate and repair the broken trust in the Supreme Court.

What’s come to light about Justices Alito and Thomas, just in the past few weeks, shows how broken our system is when it comes to the ethics of the Supreme Court:
- Clarence Thomas, issuing rulings on some of the most consequential cases of our time, was taking lavish trips paid for by a MAGA billionaire who wants to do away with climate protections, rip away reproductive rights, and more.
- Samuel Alito and his wife flew an upside-down flag, a symbol for the ultra right-wing, “Stop the Steal” movement outside their home. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is currently deliberating a case related to January 6 insurrectionists.
- Speaking of January 6, Clarence Thomas’ wife played a significant role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. She attended the January 6 protest on the National Mall, and she texted Trump’s chief of staff while the insurrection took place at the Capitol.
- In a leaked recording, Samuel Alito expressed doubt about whether compromise is possible on key issues, or whether one side must prevail entirely over the other, and agreed that we need to “return our country to a place of godliness.”
I could go on with these egregious violations of both ethics and hyper-partisanship, John.
We must take definitive action to restore the court’s integrity — before the already decreasing trust in the Supreme Court diminishes beyond the point of repair.
I have strong plans to fix the Supreme Court and transform the bench into the ethical, fair-minded court it was meant to be. But I need your help to make it happen. Please, chip in to my campaign today.

Reforming the Supreme Court is a critical step towards restoring the nation’s faith in our justice system and protecting Americans’ fundamental rights and freedoms.
I need you with me to make these changes possible — and I appreciate any amount of support you can give.
Thank you,
