Friend, 2022 began with an unsettling reminder of the urgency of our work to revitalize democracy: the one year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection.

Status Report: US Democracy
The insurrection on January 6, 2021, was a direct assault on our democratic process and a symptom of the broader crisis eroding democracy throughout our nation. But what does it mean for our democracy to be in crisis, why does it matter, and most importantly, what can we do about it?

Candidate Spotlight
Last year, we endorsed Dr. Kermit Jones for Congress based on the strength of his character and his track record of servant leadership. The tragedy of 9/11 struck during Kermit's third year of medical school; wanting to do his part to serve his country, Kermit joined the U.S. Navy as a flight surgeon. He continued his service as a White House Fellow after leaving the military, and his resume speaks for itself. But like any first-time candidate, Kermit faced major challenges in this race due to running in a challenging district with an entrenched incumbent, and the daunting task of fundraising for a major campaign.
Now, that’s changing: after two successful fundraising quarters, and an eight point swing in Dr. Kermit's favor in redistricting, the incumbent Congressman decided to run in a different district rather than face Dr. Kermit. His campaign's base of support continues to grow as voters learn more about his record of service and his post-partisan vision of putting service to his community over his own self-interest.
