Dear Friend,

I don't know a workplace in this nation where it would be acceptable for an employee to make videos about killing their co-workers. But that's exactly what happened this week, when Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar published a video that depicted him murdering Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and stabbing President Joe Biden. 

Today, I voted to strip Gosar of his committee assignments and censure him. 

This is just one of too many recent instances in which Gosar and his Republican colleagues in the House have violated basic standards of decency and civility. Sadly, Kevin McCarthy and 99% of Republican House members support Gosar, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and other right-wing extremists pushing violence.

If Republicans take back the House in 2022, Gosar and his ilk will be running the House. We can't afford that. That is why I am asking you to contribute what you can to my campaign today. I will always stand as a staunch defender of our common decency and democratic institutions, and together we will make it clear that Gosar's sexist, racist, violent dreams are unacceptable in Congress - or any workplace, for that matter.
