Friend,
After weeks of a brutal government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats just voted to reopen the government - without a single real win for working families.
No protection for Affordable Care Act subsidies.
No relief for the millions struggling with rising food, housing, and medical costs. Just another short-term deal that punts our problems past the holidays.
This isn’t governing - it’s surrender.
Every time the pressure’s on, the Democratic establishment bends to the same corporate interests they claim to fight against. And while they cave, the cost of living explodes, small towns crumble, and working Americans lose faith that Washington gives a damn.
I’m running because I refuse to be part of that cycle.
I’m not a party insider or a career politician - I’m a working dad and engineer who’s lived through what these “temporary deals” actually mean. Missed paychecks. Skyrocketing bills. Broken promises. Cuts to SNAP that leave kids hungry. Families choosing between rent and medicine. Health insurance premiums doubling overnight for the people who depend on it most.
We don’t need more politicians who negotiate with fear — we need fighters who lead with conviction.
Folks, if you’re as tired as I am of watching Democrats fold while Republicans gut the country, I’m asking you to stand with me today.
Chip in now to build a movement that won’t cave, won’t sell out, and won’t stop fighting for affordable healthcare, good-paying jobs, and a government that actually works for us.
Working families deserve leaders who fight for them — not cave when it counts. If you’re ready to stand with those who never back down, chip in now and help us build a movement that actually delivers.

Together, we can build a government that finally works for us — not the billionaires, not the lobbyists, and not the cowards who cave under pressure.
