John, it’s Katie
Porter!
During an event I recently hosted discussing Trump's first week in office,
I was asked: “How do we get Democrats to talk about the cost of
groceries?”
The answer: Run (and elect!) candidates who themselves experience the
challenges that most working people in this country face. Too many
families are being squeezed by the rising cost of big things—like
healthcare, childcare, college, and housing, and by the cost of everyday
purchases, from blueberries to bacon.
When I was in Congress, it was *news* that I brought up the price of bacon
($9.99) in a Democratic caucus meeting. When I talked about how inflation
has been hitting my family, it seemed like the first time the toll of high
prices had sunk in for some of my colleagues.
Democrats should also lean on and learn from folks who won in purple
districts, like Truth to Power endorsed Josh Riley, who won in NY-19—a
tough swing seat.
This year, if you know of someone in your community who should run for
something (especially if they have not been in elected office before) ask
them if they would consider running! Whether it’s school board or
Congress, every elected official makes a difference.
Truth to Power is committed to supporting candidates from all walks of
life who will force Congress to prioritize policies that will lower costs
for families.

us support and elect those candidates to Congress in 2026? I know from
experience that early support and money makes a big difference for
campaign planning.
