John, after a week in Washington attending committee hearings and voting, I was reminded how much is at stake if Democrats lose the House in November.
- Republicans will try and implement a nationwide abortion ban. They just introduced legislation to do so, and we can’t let them get the votes they need to pass it.
- Corporate PAC money will make a comeback. Many of the Members who reject corporate PAC money were elected in 2018, and many of us (I’m one of them!) are the most at risk of losing our races this year. If Republicans win our seats, corporations will have even more power in Washington.
- Democrats won’t have the authority we need to oversee the programs created by the Inflation Reduction Act. Passing good legislation is one thing, but oversight is needed to make sure new programs are run efficiently and effectively.
- A Republican agenda will make things worse for working people. Republicans will give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy while weakening our economy. They’re failure to address climate change will cost us billions down the line. And their unwillingness to tackle gun violence will cost lives.
Democrats hold the House by just a few seats. Seats like mine, which only flipped blue in 2018, are the key to protecting our rights and building a better future. With only 51 days left until Election Day, consider making a donation today.
