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 Twitter, Facebook, and 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.

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.
