John,

When Marie Antoinette uttered her infamous words—”Let them eat cake”—it became the symbol of an out-of-touch ruling class watching people starve while they dined in luxury.



Two centuries later, Donald Trump is giving us a modern version: “Let them eat ballroom”



While Americans struggle to put food on the table, and millions of families can't afford life saving medicine and care, Trump is obsessed with ballroom renovations, gold-plated décor, and Great Gatsby–themed parties at Mar-a-Lago.

All while his policies crater the economy and children go hungry at night.

This isn’t governing. It’s mockery. It’s a portrait of an oligarchic elite laughing at the rest of us while we pick up the tab.

I’m running for Congress because I refuse to accept that this is the best we can do. My campaign is about restoring a government that serves working people, not the wealthy few. That means fighting for Medicare for All, lowering costs for families, and ensuring that every person, not just the powerful, has a voice in Washington.



Can I count on you to pitch in $35, $10, or whatever you can spare to help us take our government back for the people it was meant to serve?

Because while Trump throws parties for the powerful, we’re building a movement for the rest of us — one powered by working people who refuse to be silenced or forgotten.
