John,

I wrote an op-ed in The Hill ([link removed] ) today that I wanted to share with you. It is about a Democrat who defied the political odds in 2024 and is now setting a powerful example in Congress—Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona.

Sen. Gallego won a decisive victory in November despite President Trump carrying his state by more than 5 points. He did it with a Democratic message that spoke directly to the commonsense middle on issues from immigration to the economy. Now he is following through with courageous and pragmatic leadership in the Senate.

Here is an example I highlight in my op-ed, which you can read in The Hill here ([link removed] ) .

Take immigration. Sen. Gallego, the son of Mexican and Colombian immigrants, has expressed willingness to collaborate with Republicans on increasing border personnel, constructing physical barriers where necessary, and deporting individuals with criminal records—policies the commonsense middle supports. But he has also opposed what he believes are excesses in the Trump administration’s approach, such as family separations, the detention of children, and disruptive mass deportations that put strain on law enforcement.

Sen. Gallego believes security is a core concern of the voters Democrats need to win back. His message to those voters was, as he put it, “We understand your security needs. You are unhappy about what’s happening at the border. You are unhappy about crime in the streets.” Those are areas where more Democrats need to admit that their party has failed.

Sen. Gallego’s approach is a model of the leadership our country needs from both parties, and it presents a blueprint for Democrats as they seek to regain their footing after last year's losses.

I hope you will give the piece a read and share it with others who value pragmatic and unifying leadership.
