John,

I’m the daughter of a newspaperman and a second-grade teacher. My mom taught until she was 70 years old.

I’ve always been guided by the values I was raised with in Minnesota -- and I promise to never give up on the issues that matter.

My work is powered by people like you, John. Can I count on your donation today?

My mom, our daughter Abigail and me

I will never stop fighting on behalf of the American people against the Trump administration’s devastating impacts. Donald Trump is pushing to eliminate the Department of Education, which provides financial aid, special education services, and support for rural schools. His new tax law cuts health care, takes away food assistance, and rewards the wealthiest. His tariffs are driving up costs and creating chaos, hitting small businesses hard.

I hold on tight to the bedrock principle that my job is to move our nation forward and to get things done that make a difference in people's lives. Will you donate to help me hold this out-of-control administration accountable?
