John,

You may have seen the results from Kentucky’s congressional election, and they aren’t what we had hoped for. Charles Booker ran an inspiring campaign that spoke to and for the people, in Kentucky and over the country. Booker came within just a few points of a candidate backed by corporations and the elite -- not by raising millions of dollars, but by listening to the people and representing their values. We need more leaders like him.

Last-minute changes to polling places, the current pandemic, and institutional racism all played a role in suppressing the vote in Kentucky. The people are speaking loudly, and they want leaders ready to meet this moment -- not more "Pelosi liberals”.

Thanks for being part of our historic campaign.
