Graham just accepted thousands from Trump

Hey, News broke that my opponent, Lindsey Graham, just received THOUSANDS of dollars from President Trump's impeachment defense team. Graham claims that he’ll be an impartial juror in the Senate impeachment trial, but now it's clearer than ever that he's been bought. The impeachment t…

We can't expect to strengthen our democracy if the presidential race is all we care about

Hey, The Iowa caucus is less than a week away, and there isn't a single person of color in the top-five contenders. A lack of adequate representation in our government makes it that much harder to address the unique challenges Black communities are facing across the country. The promis…
