I flipped a red seat in 2018 and won re-election to Congress by just over
2% last year. It was the 5th closest race in the country where a Democrat
pulled it out in a district that is as "swing" as it gets.
I know what I promised to the voters who elected me…
I support the Build Back Better agenda because it's what Democrats
promised voters - even in the toughest districts - that we would do:
Expand access to health care, lower the price of prescription drugs,
deliver tuition-free community college and trade school, provide child and
home healthcare, create millions of clean energy jobs, tackle climate
change — and pay for it by asking billionaires and giant corporations to
pay their fair share.
Please forward this email to people you know. And please share my posts on
[ [link removed] ]Twitter, [ [link removed] ]Facebook, and [ [link removed] ]Instagram making clear that this
swing-seat Democrat wants to pass the Infrastructure and the Build Back
Better agenda into law.
If you hear pundits imply that the President's agenda is a risk for those
of us in swing districts, it's just the opposite. I worry more about NOT
getting this done after promising (for years) that we would. And I'll say
this one more time: we've got a plan to pay for it.
I hope Democrats learned a lesson in 2010 after we failed to go bold
enough, fast enough. We lost big. But as a reminder, even Democrats who
voted against our Democratic president's agenda (the ACA) lost their
seats. We have a choice: Remind voters why it matters to have Democrats in
charge, or we all lose together.
The problems Democrats have talked about for years have been exacerbated
by the pandemic: health care debt, families working from home without
child or home care, skyrocketing prescription drug prices and billionaires
getting richer while income disparity gets worse.
In the rural parts of my district, they're tired of hearing us only talk
about broadband. Voters expect us to deliver. They want action. And to do
that, we must pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill and Build Back
Better.
We're in this together. Thanks for staying engaged when so much is at
stake.

spending millions of dollars in dark money against public officials who
stand up to them. Medicare drug price negotiation is a key pillar of
President Joe Biden's ambitious plan to invest in America's middle class
-- and it would save Americans over $400 billion over the next decade.
