Email from Urrutia for NH Encouraging or excusing bigotry and xenophobia is wrong and it harms all of us, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or race. Vance is not fit to serve in government at all, much less as VP. John, J.D. Vance wants people in America to fear their neighbors if they don’t look exactly like them, or if they are not native English speakers. We need to reject his ugly vision of America. On a conservative podcast, Vance expressed that he thinks it is “totally reasonable and acceptable” for Americans to not want to live next to immigrants who do not already speak English. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to connect with your neighbors. But the hatred J.D. Vance keeps stoking isn’t about belonging, it’s about blame. It’s ugly. It’s cynical. And it has no place in America. Here is why this is personal to me. I am the first in my family born in the United States. When my parents came here, they had to learn English from scratch. At home, we spoke Spanish. My grandmothers (who lived with us into their 80s and 90s) never spoke a word of English. But little by little, we found our way. We became part of our community, bringing our own perspective, our own culture, and our own story to the broader American one. I serve in our military, worked at the Pentagon, and by all measures am as American as they come. I still speak Spanish to my parents. My parents came here as immigrants, and like so many others, they made New Hampshire stronger. They worked hard, built a home, raised a family, and gave back. That’s the real story of immigrants in America: people who come here not to take, but to build, to make this country better than they found it. So when people like J.D. Vance try to stoke fear or pit us against one another, we have to call it what it is: wrong. It’s not just bigoted: it’s un-American. Because this country has always been at its best when it’s been open, welcoming, and forward-looking. I’m running for Congress because I believe in that America. The one where everyone has a chance to rise, where hard work and decency still mean something, and where freedom belongs to all of us—not just a few. The MAGA movement wants to drag us backward. I believe we can build something better—together. Can I count on your support to run the kind of campaign that lifts people up, unites us, and inspires us? J.D. Vance and Donald Trump want us divided so they can chip away at our freedoms. We can defeat this dark vision for America if we work together to win races like mine.
