John - people often ask me why I remain hopeful about our nation's politics
despite the extreme polarization we see today.
 
The answer is because I believe in the power a small group of people to bring
about meaningful change when they band together, speak with one voice and stand
for something.I discussed this point recently in an interview about the state
of our country <[link removed]>.
 
You see, I was in Congress for eighteen years and then I got out of politics
for nearly ten years before running for governor. The important lesson I
learned then is that there is life after being in Congress. There are bigger
things, more meaningful things and ultimately, better ways to serve.

 

If standing up for America and our democracy causes someone to lose their
Congressional seat, so what? Life goes on.
 
Some say that I'm an eternal optimist but I have faith that people will
ultimately come to their senses. To make it happen sooner, it's up to each of
us to continue encouraging our elected representatives to stand up to do what’s
right and say, "enough is enough!"
 
Just this week, despite pressure from GOP leadership, some Republican members
of the U.S. House voted to censure another GOP congressman for his depiction of
killing another member of Congress in a social media post. I imagine if you ask
those Republicans why they voted that way, they'd reject the notion that they
were being courageous and simply acknowledge that it was the right thing to do.
 
And soon after, GOP Leader McCarthy suggested that they may face political
punishment for their votes. That's Donald Trump's playbook and not the actions
of someone who hopes to be Speaker some day.
 
We saw in the recent Virginia race for governor that Trump's influence is
diminishing and the pathway to winning elections is to reject the toxic
behavior that is too common today, and instead take positions on issues that
can win both moderate and base voters.

 

When I say that our efforts are working, this is exactly what I mean. 

 

I'm out there every day raising awareness about these issues and doing what I
can to make a positive impact - to restore sanity to Washington - and to
support Republicans who are focused on helping people, not on tearing us apart.
But I need your help to keep up the fight

The funds we raise go directly into our advocacy efforts and I'm reaching out
toask you to consider making a donation right now

I'm so appreciative of all the work you're doing to heal the divisions in our
country and get our government working again for all of us.

 

Thank you!
