John — Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve last updated you.

I’m coming off a busy few weeks, including serving as a member of the House prosecution team in the second impeachment trial of former President Trump.

As the other impeachment managers and I put together our case against Trump, I was reminded of just how dangerous January 6 really was — and just how much worse it could have been if not for the heroics of Capitol Police like Officer Eugene Goodman.

We laid out a clear and comprehensive case against the former President. But with the deck stacked against us, we were faced with a nearly insurmountable task. And to no surprise, the GOP’s minority mostly remained true to Donald Trump and let him walk free of consequences.

But I learned something last week: We’re going to have to reach across the aisle to move forward. It’s that type of thinking that helped us convince seven Republican Senators to convict the former President.

As for the other 43 Senators who showed an utter lack of courage when faced with a chance to show the country that no one is above the law? Our work to hold them accountable continues.

We will not forget those who ensured justice would not be served to those who died because of the insurrection, especially the Senators who themselves helped incite the attack at the Capitol.

If you’re willing to recommit to joining me in that fight, I hope you’ll chip in a contribution today to help us keep up the fight for our democracy. It’s going to take all of us to protect our country from those out to destroy it.
