John,

Okay, some good news and some bad news.

Like many of you, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the infrastructure package moving through Congress. It’s chock-full of incredible policies that will rebuild and expand the crumbling middle class: paid family leave, huge expansions in health care access, universal pre-K, universal broadband access, reinvestments in education and job training, and so much more than I can possibly put here in a single paragraph. That’s the good news.

But here’s the bad news: We’re losing the messaging battle. Worse, it seems like we always lose the messaging battle. We’ve defended ourselves for so long against accusations of fiscal irresponsibility that we’ve forgotten what being fiscally responsible actually means.

Your dad’s Grand Old Party told us that responsibility means saving dollars; irresponsibility means spending dollars. Two opposing concepts, easy to remember, and even easier to ram into your voters heads over and over and over again — despite it being patently false.

That is the messaging battle that we have lost time and again since Ronald Reagan. The reality is that the most responsible thing we can possibly do is to invest in our country’s future by laying a strong foundation with social programs like universal pre-K, free community college, all the things I listed above that are in the Build Back Better plan.

Investments like the Build Back Better plan are why I’m running for Congress — because I believe we can cut through the noise and pass legislation, like the infrastructure bill, that actually helps people. Chip in now to help this campaign deliver a real champion for the people to Washington.

Let’s talk about what fiscal irresponsibility actually looks like.

Rebuilding bridges after they break is fiscally irresponsible.

Forcing people to pay outrageous sums to pharmaceutical companies for life-saving medications is fiscally irresponsible.

$1.59 trillion of student loan debt — debt taken on by the very people who are entering the workforce for the first time, amid a pandemic, in this climate — is fiscally irresponsible.

Keeping families trapped in the cycle of poverty is fiscally irresponsible.

Continuing to let the climate crisis go unaddressed and unmitigated will be, I promise you, catastrophically fiscally irresponsible. According to some estimates, inaction on climate change could cost us nearly $800 trillion. (No, that is not a typo.)

Nobody ever talks about it this way, but the fiscally responsible thing to do is to invest in your community. That is what the Build Back Better infrastructure plan does. It’s a direct investment in the American people, our families, and our children

Will you make a donation to invest in this campaign, so that we can bring real leadership to Washington and invest in the people of Florida’s 15th District by passing legislation that actually improves their lives and sets their children up for the future?
