John --

Every day I am reminded of why I decided to step up and run for the U.S. Senate, but this week has brought into stark focus why Shelley Moore Capito has to go!

Like I said yesterday:

While Mitch McConnell and his best buddy Shelley Moore Capito are worried about whether it’s politically convenient to discuss who’s been offering bounties to Afghan militants for the lives of our troops—and while their squabbling focuses on whether the President was briefed about the bounties before he signed the Feb 29 deal with the Taliban—the most important thing is being forgotten here: the safety of our troops.

There has been no response, there have been no sanctions, there is no action being taken to protect the troops risking their lives for this country.

We must take immediate action to demand a halt to the bounty program, and to enact strong sanctions against the perpetrators.

Y’all want to argue. Argue later. First we protect our troops. And if Congress won’t do that, let’s vote to bring an end to the do-nothing Congress and elect new leaders—leaders with values that reflect the values of the American people.

I’m a Brand New Congress candidate because we need real, and immediate change in Congress. The time for dragging our feet is over.

I have an amazing team on the ground here in West Virginia, and everyone is working hard to take our race statewide for the general election in November. But there’s a lot of work to be done between now and then.

Can you contribute $10 today to BNC and Team Paula Jean to help us unseat Trump-apologist Shelly Moore Capito?

When we stand together we can win! Let’s unite our fight and get the work done!
