After this month's election in Virginia, there was plenty of doom and
gloom on Twitter and TV. I don’t think all hope is lost for Democrats --
but we will need to run strategic campaigns and [ [link removed] ]work even harder than
we have in years past.
But I’ll cut through the BS and tell you this, there’s a lot at stake:
If we lose the Democratic majority, we lose the ability to oversee and
administer the programs we will create with the Build Back Better Act.
It’s one thing to pass legislation that creates good programs. It’s
another to make sure those programs are run effectively and efficiently,
and Congress plays a key role in that. We need to hold our majority so
pieces of Biden’s agenda, like universal pre-school and allowing Medicare
to negotiate drug prices, are successfully implemented and people are able
to utilize them.
If we lose the Democratic majority, corporate PAC money makes a comeback.
In 2018, myself and many of the new Democrats I was elected alongside were
some of the first to reject corporate PAC money. It was a pledge that
united moderates from Trump-voting districts and progressives from
deep-blue seats alike, and it really shook up Washington. But the number
of us who don’t accept corporate PAC dollars is dwindling, and many of us
are most at risk in 2022.
If we lose the Democratic majority, it will be much harder to fight for
American families. The list of issues we still have to tackle is long—from
ensuring everyone has access to quality healthcare, to combating climate
change, to voting rights. And you can bet if Republicans are in charge,
they’ll be erasing progress we’ve made over the past few years.
The PCCC was instrumental in helping me win in historically red Orange
County in 2018. Now, this district is key to holding the House majority.
[ [link removed] ]So if you can, help us defend this seat with a contribution that will
be split between my campaign and PCCC.
