did you hear, John?

PA-08 is the last line of defense for our small Democratic Majority in the House, so we knew the 2022 campaign would start early — but we didn’t think it would be this early. With everything going on these past few weeks, John, a major piece of news has understandably been lost in t…

I officially have a 2022 opponent — and he’s on the attack.

This is the earliest challenge I’ve ever faced. John — I wanted to tell you personally: I officially have my first 2022 opponent. Far-right conservative Teddy Daniels has declared his intention to challenge me for Congress in our pivotal swing district. This is the earliest challe…

We must hold Donald Trump accountable

I have called on the President to resign, but it’s clear he has no intentions of letting the country heal by stepping aside. John, Last Wednesday, the President of the United States incited an attack on our Capitol. Members of Congress had to duck under bulletproof chairs and staff…
