JOHN,

During the final days of June, Supreme Court rulings were rolled out one by one, each alarming in their own way.

Each decision broke along partisan lines, with the six Republican-appointed justices voting in lockstep. If any doubt remained, these rulings confirmed that our nation’s highest court has become a partisan body.

But the disturbing truth is: this is just the beginning.

We need trained lawyers in Congress ready and equipped to take action to unwind these recent destructive rulings – and to protect our legal system against future conservative attacks.

I am a human rights lawyer by training. I have the skills to protect Americans’ fundamental civil rights in Congress. But first, I have to get there.

Will you chip in $5, $10 or $15 to make sure I can work to uphold Constitutional rights in Congress?

After graduating from Vermont Law School, where I focused on human rights and civil liberties, I clerked for the late Judge Peter Hall on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. I reviewed federal appeals, drafted opinions, and saw firsthand how federal cases are won and lost in the details.

Before serving as Vermont’s Lieutenant Governor, I served statewide as an Assistant Attorney General in the criminal division, working to ensure access to justice for all Vermonters. I know trust in government depends on our ability to uphold and protect the Constitution.

This is a make-or-break moment in history. I’ve spent my career working to promote and protect fundamental rights; in Congress, I’ll bring the full force of my legal training to bear. I’ll work tirelessly, day in and day out, to counteract this radical and corrosive Supreme Court.

Will you chip in $10, $20 or $30 to send a trained lawyer to Congress and counteract this destructive Supreme Court?
